Since the Titanic Building in Belfast opened earlier this year it has fast become Belfast and Northern Ireland’s number 1 tourist attraction. The love and interest of the Titanic is worldwide and the opening of the worlds number 1 Titanic Museum in Belfast is set to bring in millions of visitors per year to the titanic building at Titanic Quarter in Belfast’s docks. The titanic centre is built right where the actual titanic itself was built so it is only fitting that this is where the museum for the worlds most famous ship calls home.

The building itself was built to replicate the ships prow’s, though some say it also looks like the iceberg that sank the famed ocean liner. Either way inside the building they have many galleries explaining the ships history and on the top floor of the museum is Belfast’s largest conference and reception centre where they replicated the ships famous staircase which was heavily featured in the movie ‘Titanic’ by James Cameron.

One of the other main interests of this building is the conferencing and banqueting suites also known as The Titanic Suites. This brings me around to what we are talking about today.

Since the Titanic Suites have opened they have became a popular destination for couples to host their wedding receptions.

The below invitation is a Titanic themed wedding invitation for a wedding reception to be held at the famous Titanic Suite – Main Hall at the Titanic Building in Belfast. Although the ship itself had a bad end its not a great theme for a wedding invite but because of the building where the wedding reception is to be held it lends itself beautifully, so the invite was based on the original posters advertising the Titanic back in 1912. I included at the top of the invitation ‘White Star Line’ in much the same way it was issued on the original posters and then finished the invitation design with some vintage colouring and old worn paper effects, including some folded lines and creases in the paper to make it feel like someone just folded up the flyer and put it in their pocket. Also included is the cities most famed for the titanic including Belfast, Southampton and New York, with Bangor in Northern Ireland included as it is where the couple who are getting married are from. Although the titanic had a bad end its legacy will last forever and the Titanic Building is a fabulous place to hold a wedding reception and why not have your own titanic themed wedding invitation.
