Whether you're planning an event that's a couple of hours away or crossing the entire country, a destination wedding can be a dream come true. And if you're head over heels for your location and hoping for a wedding day that's inspired entirely by the happy place itself, consider including details representative of your locale throughout your day. Everything from table numbers to dessert table décor can be every bit as location-centric as your plans. One of the best places to include destination inspiration in your wedding? Your paper goods, of course!

From that save-the-date to your thank-you cards, it's simple to add a little local flair into your whole suite, but if you're particularly interested in an invitation that will get your guests extra excited about the big celebration, look no further. We have all the best destination-inspired wedding invitations ideas right here ranging from rustic suites perfect for a ranch wedding in Montana to the dreamiest cacti-filled inspiration (and RSVP cards) a desert wedding could desire. Seriously, you're going to love these details.
