Make Your Own Wedding Invitations

RE: Make Your Own Wedding Invitations Post by sigma28 (10) | (06/06/2008) Profile | Contact I used a Gartner Studios kit from Michael's that had a handmade paper base embedded with dried flowers (I had a fall wedding theme) topped with a vellum layer, held together with a ribbon. I changed out the ivory ribbon that came with the set for red, and used monogram stickers from Dollar Tree for envelope seals. The kit also came with RSVP cards and envelopes, but I printed the cards instead as postcards! The front had a fall tree clip art with our names and wedding date, and the back had RSVP info and a stamp to encourage its return. People loved it and wanted to know where I ordered them from!

Be careful of where you divide lines of text. I once received a do-it-yourself invite that was very amateurish because they didn't do this. It looked like a jumble of words. Look at samples in the printshop to get an idea of the proper layout. Run a sample of yours by a few people before printing them all. Also, very few people will remember your actual wedding invitation, so keep it classy but SIMPLE!

They were really simple - after all you have to replicate whatever you do for each invite - 55 in my case! Try out different designs and whichever you choose, make it simple. You don't want to spend the next 10 weekends making them!

We bought the invitations kit from Michaels when they were on sale (I got 100 for 8.99) and they were the plain white cards with envelopes. I bought some scrapbooking cardstock in a beautiful caribbean blue. With some sheer ribbon and a hole punch, I had beautiful invitations that many people asked me where I ordered them from... They shall never know... Report Spam or Abuse RE: Make Your Own Wedding Invitations Post by ala12966 (3) | (05/11/2005) Profile | Contact For my daughters wedding we decided to make the invitations. First we went to Micheals to shop for invitation kits. They were pretty pricey considering you would have to buy your own ink, however we bought them on a sale week and got them for 1/2 price! They were just what my daughter wanted and went with the theme of the wedding exactly. We purchased 2 boxes each containing 50 invitations, 50 response cards and matching envelopes. The only draw back was that the kit only had outer envelopes. We got online to find the correct way to address them, so that was not really a problem. We used our own computer and my daughter chose her design from looking at magazines and just pulling from what she liked the best. They turned out beautiful and we could not have been more pleased. The total cost (including new ink) for 100 invitations was $80, a far cry from what we had priced in the bridal magazines. Good luck and have fun!
