Making your own Wedding Invitations
I decided to make my own wedding invitations. I've included a picture to show just how well they turned out!
Top 6 reasons why I would suggest making your own invitations:
1.) You can incorporate the exact wedding colors you have chosen in every aspect of the invitation. As you can see, my wedding colors were pink and yellow. You can add color by using different types of paper, ribbon, gems or flowers. Different textured paper and layering also can create a nice effect and allows multiple colors to be incorporated. Velum paper adds a very nice and delicate effect, for example. I bought all of my paper and rhinestones at Michael's (a popular art and crafts retailer).
2.) Wedding planning can be chaotic and moments together, away from family and all the turmoil become important. Making invitations together is a great way to spend time and bond with your future husband or wife on a creative project.
3.) It is way cheaper than paying someone else to do the assembly. I priced three different alternatives: a.) for a company to make my invitations (most expensive), b.) buying a kit that I assemble myself (expensive), or c.) making my custom designed homemade invitations. The third option was definitely the most cost effective. Weddings can be extremely expensive it is important to save money whenever you get the chance.
4.) You can bring out your creative side. Try a bunch of practice invitations until you come up with a template that you like. Try gluing something here or tying a bow there. Once you find one you and your partner are happy with, begin mass production.
5.) It adds that personal touch that everyone will love. Anyone can go out and buy invitations, but when you receive a handmade one, you appreciate so that much more knowing how much thought and time went into it. Every time I went over to a friend's place and saw it displayed on their fridge I was proud of my creation.
6.) You will have an end result that is very unique! You definitely won't risk ever sending an invitation that someone has seen before. If you get married around the same time as all your friends or family you don't want to risk the horrifying possibility of a duplicate.
The only thing to keep in mind is the amount of time this option will take. Otherwise, I say do it. You might even surprise yourself. I sure did!
