You want to make your invites really reflect YOU and set the aesthetic for your big day. You\u2019ve got some big choices to make, so here are some tips for creating some amazing DIY wedding invitations.<\/p>\n
17 Tips for Making DIY Wedding Invitations<\/strong><\/h2>\n1. List the deets<\/strong><\/h3>\nBefore writing out your invites, make a list of all of the vital information you need to include. Including the date, time, venue, menu options etc. It sounds so simple, but this will save you from having to fix anything you\u2019ve missed after you\u2019ve made all of the invitations, or from rewriting them entirely if you realise you\u2019ve made an epic blunder. It also avoids any embarrassing situations if your guests receive their invites but you\u2019ve forgotten to include something obvious, like the location for the ceremony. Where\u2019s Great Aunt Margaret? Still at home \u2018cause you didn\u2019t tell her where she needed to be!<\/p>\n
2. Choose your theme<\/strong><\/h3>\nRustic, Hollywood, nautical, summer vibes, festival, shabby chic\u2026 dinosaurs?! If there\u2019s a theme that you\u2019ve chosen for your wedding then why not incorporate it into your invites? Your theme can be as unique as you are as a couple and can really help to tell your own romantic story before your special day has even begun. Themes can be done subtly or not so subtly, so you could either go all out with it or just add hints and accents to your invites. The world\u2019s your oyster… especially if the wedding is mermaid themed!<\/p>\n

This sets the tone for your wedding and gives your guests a sneak peek at what to look forward to on the day. It might even help some of them colour coordinate their outfits to fit your day. Noone wants to clash with lime green chair covers, anyway!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to cut & stick! Using materials such as gold leaf, pressed flowers, card and patterned paper can help you to create beautiful handcrafted invitations. Find the best local hobby and art shops and search through their stationary sections, you might just find gold dust! You can also buy tools like fancy paper cutters and embossers, which can really help to make the creative process a lot easier.<\/p>\n

As well as the colour scheme it needs to match the theme and feel of the wedding. Ask yourself which style of lettering you feel will suit you and your day? As well as what kind of tools you might need to create your writing. For example, can it be printed from a home printer, should it be handwritten or would you prefer some classic calligraphy?<\/p>\n

Personal features could include using emblemed couples initials, bespoke printed ribbon or even something as simple as a spritz of the brides wedding day perfume onto the invitation as your signature scent. Small details like these can go a long way in making your invitations stand out and look classy (as long as that\u2019s what you\u2019re going for).<\/p>\n

But, you CAN relieve this stress and save time all in one go by using a bespoke stamp! Stamps can be ordered easily online and also save you from getting writer’s cramp from writing out so many invites! Make yourself feel like a royal, we bet even Meghan Markle had one …probably.<\/p>\n

You could choose a photo from your first date, from an engagement photoshoot or your favourite photo together from a trip away. It shows your guests that you really want them to be part of your day. Everyone appreciates a gorgeous photo of two people who are genuinely in love. A picture says a thousand words, share it.<\/p>\n

Send a thoughtful gift<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you\u2019d like to be super thoughtful about your DIY wedding invitations, including a small gift could be the perfect way to ensure RSVPs! Small gifts could include items like personalised sweets, miniature candles, sachets of wildflower seeds or even some gorgeous crystals, like amethyst or quartz. If you feel like being really extra about it, you could even hire a mariachi band to turn up at their door to hand deliver your invites for you (for real, mariachi bands are available on Poptop<\/a>!).<\/p>\nweddinginvitationwithgift<\/a><\/p>\nflowerseeds<\/a><\/p>\n10. Get help from your pet<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you and your partner have a special furry (or scaley) friend in your life then why not involve them?! Save the date cards from pets can be absolutely adorable, so why should humans have all the fun? Get them involved, have a fun photoshoot with them or even have your own pet inspired illustration drawn. After all, Cooper is SUCH a good boy!<\/p>\n
STDwithpet<\/a><\/p>\nweddinginvitationwithdog<\/a><\/p>\n11. Use your favourite lyrics<\/strong><\/h3>\nDo you have a song or a poem that means a lot to you as a couple? It could be the lyrics to your first dance song, a poem that defines your love for each other or a hymn that you\u2019d like you\u2019re guests to sing along to during your ceremony. Including the lyrics in your invite can make it super sentimental. Ed Sheeran is Thinking Out Loud as we speak.<\/p>\n
marriagepicture<\/a><\/p>\n12. Don\u2019t forget a matching envelope<\/strong><\/h3>\nWedding invitation ideas galore, but don\u2019t forget to think about how they are going to be delivered! You can hand make envelopes from card or paper to fit your own size and design, or if you\u2019d prefer you can also buy standard sized envelopes separately. If your design is a little out there you could also look at alternatives, such as boxes. Think Helen in Bridesmaids, but without the live butterfly.<\/p>\n

Remember to budget for postage<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you do decide to include any extras like keepsakes or embellishments that might weigh your invites down, don\u2019t forget that this will add on extra postage costs. It\u2019s always a good idea to keep your overall budget in mind for the invitations, and this includes delivering them.<\/p>\n
weddinginvitationflowers<\/a><\/p>\n14. Call on your kid’s artistic talents<\/strong><\/h3>\nChildren can make art out of anything and could help you come up with some amazing wedding invitation ideas! Use your child\u2019s unlimited creativity as inspiration for creating a DIY wedding invitation that your guests will want to keep on their fridge long past the wedding day. A babies footprint could be a super cute addition to your design or you might even want to let your toddler go crazy with the glitter glue!<\/p>\n

Have fun with it<\/strong><\/h3>\nMaking your DIY wedding invitations does not have to be a chore, so why not make a fun activity out of it? Invite your friends round, put on some Beyonc\u00e9 and order a pizza! There\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t have your best friends involved in helping you make them! Do you have a friend that\u2019s great at art? Susan? Brilliant! Invite her too and open a bottle of wine. You might even want to make it a cute get together for you and the future bridal party, and it will help them to feel more involved in your big day.<\/p>\n

Cut down any frustrating waiting period by including ready to send RSVP cards. If there are different menu options, be sure to include a section for your guests to choose what they\u2019d like to order.<\/p>\n
