Do It Yourself Wedding Invitations

Do It Yourself Wedding Invitations

You know, creating your own wedding invitations can save you literally a fortune - AND - it's easy too with the many do it yourself wedding invitation kits available to help you.  You can create the wedding invitations, invitation envelopes, wedding response cards, and response card envelopes for 200 guests for LESS THAN $100!!  And don't you worry because these invitations are positively STUNNING.

Whether you decide to go with a wedding invitation kit or not, you are one smart bride because you will save a ton of money by doing your wedding invitations yourself.  When you consider that many wedding invitations cost in the $1.75 to $3 range for the invitation only, $1+ for the response card, $1.50+ for the thank you card and don't forget the cost of all the envelopes.  If you plan to invite around 150 people, your cost for the invitations alone will be near or greater than $1,000.  Wow right?

It doesn't matter what time of year you plan to hold your wedding, there are do it yourself wedding invitations and ideas that will suit the month of your wedding.  For an elegant look anytime of the year, choose gold or silver accented wedding invitations like those pictured below.  Look at how lovely these invitations are - can you believe they are DIY?  And they would be just as appropriate at a fall wedding as they would a spring wedding due to their classic style and design.

Everyone loves the designs of Laura Ashley and her touch on the wedding invitation industry is just as unique and elegant as her other designs for the home.  A perfect example of a Laura Ashley is shown in this butter cream  wedding invitation kit:

The easiest way to complete your DIY Wedding Invitation project is to use your own or borrow someone's printer.  If you choose to use a kit (we found the kits above at BuyWeddingFavorsOnline.com in the DIY Section), follow the directions that will accompany your kit.  If you have decided to design your wedding invitations from scratch, invitation paper is available in an array of colors, textures, designs, and patterns.  For a fall wedding, it would be fun to choose a invitation paper pattern with fall leafs as the background.  Another great example would be beach balls for summer wedding invitations.  Really, the sky is the limit when it comes to designing your invitations.

Also, if you have nice handwriting or able to do calligraphy, you may want to hand write your invitations for an even more personal touch.  Of course, this option will take more time than using a printer so make sure you allow for this when estimating the time to complete your Do It Yourself Wedding Invitations project.

P.S.  Please don't forget to place a stamp on the RSVP card envelope to make it easy for your guests to let you know they will be attending your wedding.

Remember - It's Your Wedding - So Do It Your Way!
