Wedding Trend: Do-It-Yourself Invitations
The average couple spends over $650 on wedding invitations alone,
which is quite an expense for crafty paper. Who wouldn’t rather spend
some of that money on other things, like decorations, photography, or
the honeymoon? With do-it-yourself invitations you can not only save
money, but also create one-of-a-kind invitations that your guests will
ogle over.
Do-it-yourself wedding invitations are significantly
less costly than custom printed invitations, which can cost around $9
per invitation! DIY invitations cost around $1 each, a significant
difference. Just imagine what you could use the extra money for…
In
addition to being less expensive, DIY wedding invitations let you
personalize the piece for a look that’s uniquely yours. Your custom
invitations can include photos and wording that you choose, and you can
print them with any font you want. For the scrapbooking bride, this can
be a great opportunity to put your skills to use.
So you’re not
crafty, you say? Do-it-yourself wedding invitation kits are easy to
find, as well as easy-to use. Most come with or provide links to
software that you can use to design your personalized invitations to
your special day. These programs make creating beautiful designs
simple, even for the artistically-challenged. These kits come complete
with all the paper and envelopes you’ll need to print your very own
wedding invitations and response cards.
Your invitations are a
first-impression of sorts, and everyone knows the importance of first
impressions. Your wedding invitations should accurately portray who you
and your soon-to-be spouse are as individuals and as a couple. By
creating your own invitations, you can use your own styles and
preferences to send a message to your family and friends. DIY wedding
invitations allow you to branch out from the strict regulations of many
professional printers and express yourselves the way you want to be
perceived. It’s your special day, and your invitations should be about
you, not about what the stationery store says you have to print on them.
