Designing Unique Wedding Invitations
Overview
The wedding invitation you choose is a reflection of the importance you place on your wedding, but that doesn't mean you should overspend. There are many resources available online to assist you in designing your own invitations, allowing you to express your personal style for a fraction of the cost of commercial invitations. With a little planning and a few hours, you can easily make invitations that will rival commercial invitations.
Step 1
Visit verseit.com for a wide variety of verses to fit your circumstances. Select appropriate categories from the drop-down menu and view the choices designed to meet your needs. There are also detailed instructions and images for adding embellishments, proper etiquette for addressing the envelops and a guide for when to mail the invitations.
Step 2
Download fonts for formal and informal invitations from simplythebest.net. Browse the samples to find just the right font to match the style and decor of your wedding. There are many script fonts and a variety of old-fashioned fonts suitable for formal wedding invitations. For a more informal wedding, select fonts that reflect the theme.
Step 3
Scan the image from the napkins or other accessories you will use at your wedding and use it for the background image on your invitations. Purchase vellum and print the verse in a script font. Tie to the background paper with ribbon and attach wedding rings or other embellishments to the ribbon.
Step 4
Visit wedding-invitation-ideas.com for printable templates and step-by-step directions for making your own wedding invitations. This site includes the estimated cost of making your own, a detailed supply list and high-quality images to guide you. Purchase the best quality supplies to complete the project.
Step 5
Consider the significance of the colors you choose for your wedding invitations and favors to avoid accidentally sending the wrong message to your guests. A wedding is one event for which choosing a color simply because it appeals to you may not be the best choice. Find out what colors are considered the best choices for weddings at myexpression.com.
