Winter & mountain wedding invitations
A winter wedding invitation that rides a gondola to the summit
Ski resorts, cabins and mountain lodges from December to March: Alpine Lodge is drawn for them. Guests drag a red gondola up its cable, through the cloud and into sun under the peak, where your names appear.
Below the opening, the date is set as a vintage lift ticket and the schedule as a trail map, with directions, add-to-calendar buttons and attire on every event. Travel and stay holds airports, drive times, shuttles and hotel blocks, which matter more than usual in the mountains.
Designs for a winter & mountain wedding
Alpine Lodge
Snow, Fireside in ember and midnight, or Aspen gold for fall.
Tips for your winter & mountain invitation
- Mountain roads can close in snow. Put shuttles, parking and a backup route in the event notes and in Travel and stay.
- Say what to wear outside: “Cocktail, with a warm coat and boots for the photos in the snow.”
- Hotel blocks fill early in ski season. List each one with its group code and book-by date.
Questions couples ask
Is the winter design only for snow?
No. Alpine Lodge has three color modes: Snow, a light winter mode; Fireside, a dark mode in ember and midnight; and Aspen gold, which suits a fall wedding among the leaves.
Where do airports, shuttles and road notes go?
In Travel and stay: airports and drive times, hotel blocks with group codes and book-by dates, and notes on getting around. Put shuttle times and parking on each event as well, next to the start time.
Can we add a ski morning or a brunch?
Yes. Add as many events as the weekend has, such as a welcome party, a ski or snowshoe morning and a farewell brunch, and turn RSVP on only where you need numbers. A custom RSVP question can ask who is skiing.
What does the winter design sound like?
A fireside waltz: felt piano, glockenspiel and flute over a soft string pad and horn, upright bass and quiet sleigh bells, in a 90-second loop. It starts only after a guest opens the invitation, and every screen has a mute button.
