How to Make Your Own Wedding Invitations

100 invitations for $30 or less!

To make these invitations, you will need:

• 12x12 white cardstock


• 12x12 vellum


• 12" paper cutter


• a hole punch


• scissors


• rbbon in one of your wedding colors

Follow the directions below for cute, simple wedding invites for cheap:

1. Cut the paper and the vellum into 4" by 8" pieces.
2. Create a design/picture that you'd like for the invitation. Make it on word (TIP: Make the page on word 4x8 borderless and put the design/picture on there and make it fit)
3. Play around with different designs/pictures. Print them out using the borderless option on your printer.
4. Print your actual invitation wording on the vellum paper that has been cut into 4x8 inch pieces (TIP: Use the transparency setting on your printer - it will print less ink and will print more slowly so you are less likely to smudge the ink)
5. Let both pieces dry for at least 10 minutes.
6. Place the vellum on top of the cardstock and line them up well.
7. In the center of the top of the invites, make 2 holes a quarter inch apart with a hole punch at the top of the card.
8. Loop your ribbon through the card so that the tails are sticking through the back.
9. Now, take the tails and push them through the holes on the opposite side that you did the first time and pull them through until it makes a faux bow.
10. Cut off any excess on the bows and/or the cardstock/vellum.
