Just pick up any wedding magazine, and you will know after reviewing a few pages that planning your nuptials will not be a cheap event. If you are a bride on a tight budget that may become a bit of a problem and you will have to find ways to limit your spending.
The first thing you can do to save a few dollars is to design your own wedding invitations. The following simple guide will give an idea on how to successfully complete this mission, and create some of the most awesome DIY wedding invitations your friends and relatives have ever seen.
- Create a plan
Before heading to the craft or hobby store, gather ideas for do-it-yourself wedding invitations. Browse through wedding websites and mail order catalogues to see how modern DIY invitations look like. What kind of invitation paper is used? Which decorations are ‘hot’? Are ribbons still in style?
A number of craft and wedding websites will offer material suggestions, patterns and work instructions. Gather as much information as you need until you were able to create your own design.
- Time to shop
Before you start to order your invitation paper and other materials, know how many DIY invitations you actually need. Count the amount of guests you want to invite, and add a few more, just in case you have to send out last minute invitations.
By now, you should know if you will make your announcements from scratch or if you will buy DIY invitation kits off the shelf. DIY wedding invitation kits can be a good base and can easily be accentuated by simple decorations. A bow here and a few themed stickers there, and you will have fabricated some of the most unique wedding invitations ever created. You can add as many personal touches as you want, and change them around on each invitation. No two invites will be alike... how cool is that?
If you have the time, wait until invitation paper, transparent designer sheets, ribbons, and other accessories go on sale. Compare prices, and only order from reputable retailers.
- Print your DIY wedding invitations
Only print your cards and letters on a quality home printer. Specialty paper may require special ink or printing which can only be provided by printing shops. Spend the money for these specialty printing services, or switch to a different type of paper. You can, for instance, print your text on plain card stock and cover it with decorative transparent paper. Use edging scissors to give your paper a nice finishing touch. Tie the top of your sheets nicely together with a stylish bow or ribbon.
- Assembly and finishing touches
Now that you have bought all your craft materials, it is time for the assembly. Follow your sample invitation, and adjust your design if necessary. You can even customize some of your cards for special guests. The more you personalize your DIY invitations, the more they will be appreciated.
If you run short on time, ask your bridesmaids or friends for help. Even if they are not very handy with paper, scissors and glue, they can always make address labels and stuff the envelopes. It will be a fun activity with lots of smiles and giggles.
