I decided to design my own wedding invitations, since I enjoy doing DIY Projects and couldn’t find a style of invitation online that best fit with my wedding theme and colors.
I got a lot of inspiration from online searches to get an idea on style for my invitations and what I wanted to include within them.
- Signature Real Grey Pocket Invitations
- A7 Euro Glitter Silver Liners
- A7 Euro Real Grey Envelopes
- RSVP Euro Flap Factory Yellow Envelopes
- Glitter Silver Invitation Mats
I purchased all of my invitation pieces and printing through Cards and Pockets. I choose to use the Signature Kit with 3 inserts.
I only used computer programs such as Adobe InDesign and Photoshop to create the artwork for my invitations.
My invitations required a bit of an assembly line once it arrived. I decided to pay to have Cards and Pockets attach my invitation mat to the pocket, and then my husband and I attached the invitation to that pocket. We also decided to attach our belly bands to the invitations and attach the envelope liners into the envelopes.
This whole process took 2 evenings of work, but was totally worth it. We even ordered a custom stamp for cheap off Etsy to stamp our return address and purchased clear address labels for our guests.
