Make Your Own Wedding Invitations

Advice from an older sister

When selecting your invitations, the best way to save money is, of course, to make your own wedding invitations. There is a way to make it simpler and save time while still saving money. Here's my story and a little advice:

Now, I haven't found the perfect chap to settle down with for the rest of my life, but my sister has. We started the Wedding Invitation Saga at the paper store, well, at paper stores and craft stores - let's be real about it. The many paper samples that we purchased and brought home were pared down to three: a lovely eggplant card stock, a neutral handmade paper and vellum - oh, and navy ribbon to tie the whole thing together. (Time spent already: countless hours!) The card stock and vellum had to be cut precisely and the handmade paper torn to size (tip: way harder than it looks). Then the whole thing was tied together with the ribbon. The end result was beautiful, and I'm sure my sis received many compliments for all that hard work.

But you're planning a wedding here, and time is money, girl!

When my perfect chap comes along, it's a wedding invitation kit for me. An invitation kit is the perfect way to save both time and money - two things every bride is short on! There are tons of wedding invitation kits available in lots of colors and shapes. I've included a sampling below to get you started. My advice: make your own Wedding Invitations, but make them the simple way!

Outta my way, I'm planning my wedding!
