Planning your wedding is an exciting time and there’s nothing more thrilling than finally sending the invitations to your loved ones. However, you don’t have to spend a fortune to send out stunning invitations.
DIY wedding invitations are simple to do and it’s a great way to incorporate your style and personality. Make your wedding invitations memorable by creating your own and start your day off right. Here are some tips on how to get started.
Choose a Design
It may sound simpler than it is. The truth is, your first job could be a difficult one. With thousands of designs and materials to choose from, you’ll need to narrow it down. For example, do you want a lace insert? Do you want a damask design? What is your color scheme and what type of lettering would you like to use?
You can narrow down the list by thinking about your wedding setting and theme. For instance, a country wedding in a renovated barn may suit materials like burlap and organza.
Set Your Budget
The whole point of DIY party invitations is to save some money. If you get carried away, you may end up spending just as much as you would have on purchasing your invitations. It’s important to set a budget before buying any materials or designs so you know how much you have to spend on each invitation.
Pick the Particulars
Just because you’re creating your own wedding invitations, it doesn’t mean they have to be boring. For example, the card you choose could be a traditional flat card or you could go with a wallet or butterfly card. You may want to add embellishments, like ribbon or sequins. You can even add a floral touch by putting some dried flowers in the envelope for a sweet scent when opening.
Personalize It
Even when you’re making your own wedding invitations, it can be quite difficult to personalize them. Why not design your own monogram for the invitations that you can use throughout the entire wedding? You can also use stamps for your invites. Whether you use your monogram and stamp it on the inside of the invite or use a wax stamp to seal your envelopes, it makes a statement that’s unforgettable.
Set Time Aside
Creating your wedding invitations can be time-consuming, so it’s important to set time aside for the task. Planning a wedding can be stressful and there are a lot of jobs to be done. You don’t want to be overwhelmed because you underestimated the amount of time the invites would take to do. Ask your bridal party to get involved so you can delegate jobs.
