Making own invitations

As a first go I think they look good. Have you thought about using Canva though ? You can design around your theme and there are tons of free templates on there. You can then print them, or send as evite pdf, which is good for sustainability and in this current tech driven culture people may find easier. We have our website on the evite for RSVP and a page with all the ceremony info etc so makes it a lot easier to manage response etc.

I think they look good, but I would echo using Canva - I’ve designed all of our invites/ stationery on Canva and then printed using Printed.com. They have loads of templates which you can crib etc… I’ve uploaded a redacted version of ours all done on Canva.

Hmm I can’t seem to get the photo to upload!

I did ours on photoshop and printed them on cream card and bought cream envelopes. It probably cost me £8 for card £5 envelopes and had to get one ink cartridge for £10 but that could do 100 invites as I printed them a5. Yours look very lovely and professional.

Love the wording for your gift list, this is exactly what we are doing and been struggling on how to word it, would you mind if i used some of the wording

View quoted message Not at all! 😄 thank u. I really struggled with it at first as so many u see rhyme and I'm not good at clever things like that! I do like a pun though.

I am not creative at all so feel your pain on that one! thank you, it is perfect X

Thanl u. No it's two separate pages, we're not giving the second to certain family members as they have already gifted money to us.

View quoted message Hi, can you help me!
I’ve made mine on Canva, and want to use printed. How did your invites turn out?
What style did you go for? And was it expensive? Sorry for all the questions, I really hope you don’t mind me asking x

View quoted message Hey, I absolutely love our invites, I started with a Canva template and then changed it slightly- I’ve made everything in the same style for all of our stationery. I used Printed.com and chose a thick (300gsm) Italian paper with envelopes and for 65 copies (inc.envelopes) it cost about £30. Which was way less than I was quoted with stationers and also places like Papier….
