Can we have a DIY Wedding Invitation **FLASH**?

laura02010, 19 October, 2012 at 15:42 Posted on Planning 0 31

I would love to see some real homemade wedding invites for some inspiration!

If you have made your own can you flash them here (outside and inside the invites would be amazing)!

    This is my first attempt. It's only on standard paper (And you can still see the dashed pink lines I used to to cut it out) but I'll get it printed properly and have a band of paper or vellum to wrap it up with the recipients name on it. It's a4 folded twice into DL shape.

    Hey Leeds bride did you make your inserts yourself or get them printed?? I have been quoted a price by PDA card and craft but was wondering if I would be cheaper to do it myself? Love your invites x

    Thank you ? I got the pre-cut card for the inserts from PDA but printed them myself on normal paper and stuck them on.

    Oh my god! I am really worried now. These are amazing. I have no chance of EVER creating something so pretty.

    I was going to do a very basic style and very obviously 'home-made', not like these. I may have to think again!

    Thanks Snowby, I did lots of Internet searching, and found an amazing Martha Stewart punch!

    dont worry hun, mine will be too! but i just keep thinking of all the invites i've ever received i cant even remember what they lool like and they sit in a cupboard until the actual day! i'm trying to think what things guests will remember.... venue, food, drinks, clothes, entertainment and put more money towards these and less for things like invites.

    Mine were relatively plain embossed invitations.

    Pic shows front, back and inserts.

    Bottom left picture shows the evening invites that had a pearl heart button sewn to the corner.

    Oh my goodness all the invitations here look so professional. I am really crafty generally and wanted to include fabric and stitching on mine, but they are very homemade looking because of that. I know no one remembers the invitations but they are going to take me ages and I want people to be impressed! It's too late to change them now - maybe that's why I'm having a wobble! Eeeeks!

    These are mine. Sorry about the picture quality, these were my first rough practice one so the normal ones will be a bit neater -

    We are going to make ours in the next few weeks (just spent the afternoon ordering bits and pieces for them). Hope they come out as lovely looking as the ones here....

    These are a rough mock up of mine - except the humming bird monogram has been replaced with a winter themed one that J has designed
