I had been debating for several months whether or not we should DIY our invitations. I looked through several websites and I absolutely loved invites from Kate Spade, the White Aisle, Grapevine, and My Gatsby. The designs are so beautiful but the costs were unbelievable. I couldn’t imagine spending over $1000 for invites - I would rather save the money for our honeymoon or for something else special for our wedding. After much research online, I finally decided to DIY our invitations using these sources for our material: Paper and More, Envelopments, and Michaels for adhesive and paper cutting supplies.





The total cost for all the materials was approximately $300 for about 125 invitations. Very reasonable but the amount of time to DIY was about 2-3 days worth of my time. Patience is definitely required - there were times where I ripped up several botched up invitations, but I remained pretty calm and the hard work really paid off!
Next project: DIY placecards, table numbers, menu cards, and programs.
