What do you think about do it yourself wedding invitation?

I made my own wedding invitations as well as my own save the date cards. I had used a heart for both of these. I had saved money by buying the kit for the invites and for the save the date I had bought white paper and drew a heart. On the save the date card it said... Two hearts that beat as one. It is with great pleasure to announce that blank and blank are getting married on ___________________. Please save the date and share our special day. As for the wedding invites write what comes from the heart. I had described that he was my best friend, the one I share with and want to grow old with. Together with our parents, Mr and Mrs (your parents name)daughter of __________ and Mr and Mrs )his parents name) son of ___________ Request the honor of your prsense as they walk through life together on date time location

I think its a very good idea. My husband and I also made our own wedding invitation. Of course it was not as good as the ones we see made by professionals buts its really something your can be proud of.

me too i'm getting married this december. anyway congratulations to you..can i just ask, how many pieces of invitation cards would that 8,000 pesos be? and from what shop? i wouldn't mind making invitations myself if i knew i have what it takes to make beautiful invitations..but i'm afraid i might lack the creativity and skill ... anyway another alternative would be to find someone to do it for you for a cheaper cost.... we all need to consider the budget that we have not just for the wedding invitations but all the other expenses involved in having a wedding...

i think it is a great idea keep it up when you get the right one done you will know it good luck

With today various software availablity making own wedding card is more simpler and depends on the person creativity , there are lot of templates your can download and buy online or view online for free and it can grab and used in the wedding card using various software tools.Even the wedding studio do the similar functions.Yes u can do it yourself and save cost.

home made invitations are great! it is more personalized with the effort that you will give in making it. just make sure you still have enough time to do it and do not cram. it saves you money but time consuming. since we live in the same country, you can buy your raw materials at Divisoria or Quiapo (if you live near the area). there you will see so many items you can use for your invitaion. they are very cheap but in good quality. just decide what is your motiff and the exact design you want your invitaion will be before buying your raw materials. good luck to your wedding! enjoy it and have fun =D

I think that a home made invitation is fine. It's your day do what you want. There are programs out there that help you make invitations that you would love. I got my daughter the printmaster program. She made some beautiful birthday and christmas cards with it. Give it a try and the results may surprise you. Plus I'm pretty sure some wedding sites help you try to make your own if that's what you really want.

I think handmade invitations are wonderful...they add a personal touch to a very personal experience. I have actually made some for a friend of mine and they turned out really great....best of luck with yours!

We did cheap invites as well. We got stationary from an office supply store that had matching envelopes with cream roses on it with two wedding bands on it. And you know I"m so glad we did it that way. It's alot of money to waste for them to throw it out or not show up to your ceremony.

DYI's are great idea specially for important occasions because it adds personal touch. there are lots of unique samples avaialable on the wed where you could get ideas.

Wedding expenses can get extreme. Anything that you can do to cut the costs is something to consider. i think that a wedding invitation made by the bride and groom is a novel idea. it may even start a new trend.

Hi! I think it's practical to make your own invitation. When my brother got married, they didn't have the time to have their invitation made elsewhere, so I volunteered to be the one to make it. I think they were satisfied. There are lots of wedding sites where you could find samples of invitations.

I think the reason behind why you keep on changing your mind is that you are doing it your self. Why not try working on a home-made wedding invitation with your groom as your husband-to-be like what my wife and I did prior to our wedding? I'm sure whatever output you come up with will no longer be changed since it is a cumulative effort of you two. Why not try working on an invitation with recycled or raw and indigenous materials? You might find it absurd but it is unique and creative once everything has been ironed up. You can manage to come up with paper mache! I dont know how you would start it but you may try seeking assistance from the internet so as to roughly have an idea on what I am pretty suggesting. Advance Best Wishes and welcome to myLot! See you around... =)

Planning a wedding has been a big part of my life recently as my sister is getting married in a few months. This is my suggestion to you and this is what she did. You have to give yourself a budget and decide what is the important to you and on down and on down. Make a list. So do the most important first and allocate certain amounts to them, and then if there is some left, use it for additional costs such as invitations because if you are having to debate about it, chances are it is not that important to you. Personally, I don't rate it high on importance because you are right, people just throw them away, and people will remember your actual wedding a lot more than the invitation. Good luck on your planning!!

well because of computers and croping abilities, you could make a bunch of great ones. here are a couple of ideas. first, go to your local library and see waht they have to offer in the way of books on weddings and take a look at etsy for ideas.

I think it is perfectly fine, but you need to be good with your hands to make nice ones. I personally don't have this talent so I don't know how to do it. I wish you the best of luck though!

I think it's a great idea. You can make something very professional looking with a home printer. As for changing your mind every few minutes - you settled on a groom, that's the hard part. lol why don't you show him a couple of the ones you've come up with and let him decide.
