Make Your Own Wedding Invitations
Can’t find the wedding invitations you’ve dreamed about? Do you want an original work of art, or a custom design to match your theme without paying top dollar? If you’re the creative, artsy or a DIY bride-to-be you’re sure to be able to handle the task!
How-to make your own wedding invitations, you ask? Start with your own ideas and then find the resources needed to turn a visual concept into reality. The difference between a kindergartner’s art project and professional looking masterpieces will be access to the right tools. If you don’t have a good paper cutter, scissors, adhesive and fancy hole punches, then visit your local art or office supply store. You will also need the right kind of paper. This will depend on the type of invitation you wish to create. Will you be mailing the invitations or hand delivering them? Scroll invitations are lovely, but are more difficult to mail. Thousands of colors, theme and even clear stationery and cardstock papers are available from which to create your magic. Invitations kits provide profesional quality materials but still leave plenty of room for your own creativity. Satin ribbon (can be personalized), colored glue, paint, glitter (used appropriately), seals, stickers, stamps and shape hole punchers or fancy scissors can be used to make beautiful accents to your design. You may wish to check out your local scrapbook center for some great supplies as well.
