The Best DIY Wedding Invitations

Your wedding invitations are the first thing that your guests see to learn information about your day. Many couples use their invitations to say something about themselves plus the wedding theme. If you're not into formal wording with spelled-out dates and times, taking a more casual approach might be for you. The key is designing invitations that fit who you are--so be daring!

A Tale of Love

Give your wedding guests a story of your relationship. Though you may think that the way you met wasn't very exciting, reliving the moment adds a touch of sentimentality to your invitations while keeping the tone casual. For example, open with, "Sarah and John met at the laundromat on Ninth Street," and conclude by inviting them to celebrate your marriage with you. It also gives those who you haven't seen in a while a chance to learn your story without asking you or your wedding party for details.

Vintage-Inspired Packets

If hosting a timeless celebration complete with a legacy wedding gown and antique lace, vintage wedding invitations are an option. They might resemble an envelope of memories that you could find in an attic: a love letter, dried rose petals, old-style photographs and a wedding invitation styled like a train pass or theatre ticket. Tea staining paper and photos makes them look antique, and tying the components together with twine and sending them off in brown envelopes completes the look.

Hand-Painted Invitations

One-of-a-kind invitations showcase your creative side. Examples include white or ivory card on which a simple, meaningful image are painted on the cover--such as a key (to your heart), clasped hands, rings or silver bells. Featuring the image on the envelope connects the theme. A request for the invitee's presence at your wedding goes on the inside, either handwritten, scripted in calligraphy or printed from your computer. The insides of the card should be completed before you start painting.

Engaging Pop-Ups

A pop-up component not only shows off your style and personality but it also throws in an element of surprise, too. Successful pop-up designs, such as a fairy tale castle or a rare flower, reflect your wedding day vision. Decorating the design's pieces before putting the pop-up together ensures a look that's striking and keepsake-worthy.
