Create your own personalized invitations. Many brides decide to create their own invitations nowadays.
After all if you know how to use your computer, you know how to print and have some imagination and time, you can assemble and make your own invites.
There are many options available to you if you want to create your own personalized invitations and are a DIY bride, some of them require more time than others , some require less effort or investment, so evaluate your choices before making a decision and compare wisely.
Setting up
You will need to use your favorite desk program, like Microsoft word or publisher. If you have one of this installed in your computer, and you are not sure where to start, you can do a search for invitation templates.
If you find one you like you can start working from there and modifying it to fit your needs.
You can insert clipart and pictures, whether from the program itself or downloading it from a free site on the internet to create your own personalized invitations.
Another option is to buy a wedding invitation kit ready to print. You can find them in the arts and craft section of any supermarket.
Pro: They usually include instructions to download a template from the manufacturer’s main website, the paper , envelopes and sometimes envelope seals.
It is supposed to be a buy , type , print and go solution.
Cons: You are tied to the template they offer you and sometimes you won’t be able to include all you want on the invitation itself, like font or color options.
Also, if your printer gets stuck, the ink runs causing stains on the paper, or some other printing problem, you would have wasted the card stock and be left with no extras. As these templates are set to work only with that particular invitation kit measurement, the only way you will have to match up the invitations will be to buy another whole kit.
So be careful when choosing this option.
You can also buy a printable wedding invitation kit online. This way you can choose whatever paper or cardstock you want to personalize the invitations.
You can take a look at our Peacock invitation kit and see all that it includes.
All that you need to do is follow the instructions and customize your wording, font colors, and you will have a uniform look for all your stationery for a fraction of the price that will take you to buy the items separately.
Working with it
