A question I get a lot from brides to be is if they can make their own wedding invitations
and if it is acceptable to use diy wedding invitation kits or templates? My answer is yes. It is absolutely acceptable and if you feel you can do it, I say go for it!
I feel that cards you create yourself might even better reflect your personal style than ones created by a professional card designer. You can add little details to your cards that will certainly set it apart from all the other wedding invitations you see every day and will cost you a bundle if you should have it done by a professional.
You can get most of the supplies for your wedding invitations from craft stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby or Joanne's. All of them have a great selection of different types of paper and vellum in all shades of the rainbow that you can print or even write on. Adding embellishments to the cards is a personal choice, but if you decide to do that, you can find a variety of little goodies to add some interest to the cards.
As an alternative you can purchase diy (do-it-yourself) wedding invitation kits which include everything you need for your wedding invitations and in some cases you can even get templates for printing the cards included in the kit. How easy is that?
You can get step by step directions like the type of card stock to use and tips on fonts and sizes on my blog. As you can see, making your own do-it-yourself wedding invitations is quite do-able and you can also consider purchasing diy wedding invitation kits.
