There comes a time in every bride’s life when she must look at the scattered pieces of paper around her, suck on a paper-cut finger and wonder

“WHY ON EARTH AM I DOING THIS MYSELF??”

If you’ve reached that point, there is hope! There are people out there who will MAKE YOUR INVITATIONS FOR YOU. I’M SERIOUS! Regardez-vous:

WEDDING PAPER DIVAS

“PARIS” BY KENZIEKATE

Feast your eyes on any of invitations at tag & co., where custom designs are done for a paltry $65 extra!

and then drool over the elegance that is WHITE AISLE

For a luxe touch, snazz up your ’vites with a THAI SILK POCKET

Or order the “Lilly” pocket fold invitation set ready made and assembled at INVITE DESIGNER

So, if you’re sick of the sight of your paper-cutter and can’t face another DIY without sniffing adhesive, take heart and take heed: there are invitations out there that are beautiful AND affordable!

I am still very pleased with the Green Kangaroo - our clutch pocket invites are awesome and soooo informative.

I DIYed our invites too, but I love the contemporary looks you can find on MyJeanM.com and AlaunByDesign.com so much so that I “borrowed” a layout from Alaun.

I thought we had actually decided on our invitations, but I love it every time there is an invitation feature. With five months left, and no order placed, there is still time for me to change my mind. I now have samples on the way from The Green Kangaroo…

I love Wedding Paper Divas! I used them for my wedding invites and my mom used them for my shower invites. In fact, I chose the one you posted by Wedding Paper Divas, but in chocolate brown. They are so adorable. Well, at least, I think they are

Miss Shortcake, you picked out some of my favorites! I just came across White Aisle this weekend, and samples are on their way to our house right now! I’m in love with the Bouquet and Poppy designs!
And why did you have to remind me of KenzieKate’s Paris? I sigh over those beauties…

Ha, Mr. T. and I just spent all weekend DIYing invites! I love to DIY, but realistically, they look … um, let’s say … homemade. And once I paid for the Gocco and various supplies, they weren’t any cheaper than a budget invite provider. (BUT, at least I’ve now got a Gocco!)

Thanks for the mention, futuremrstaj!

We now offer something for the invitation buyers and the DIY’ers: we just started selling some of our DIY Wedding Invitation materials and products online, like pockets, paper, envelopes, and adhesive.

Are these helpful for the DIY bride? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
