Plan Your DIY Wedding
The type of wedding invitation you select is an opportunity to show your guests what your special event will be like, and when you do it yourself (DIY), you can stay within your budget more easily. DIY invitations and programs aren’t just cost-friendly; they are also a great way to introduce your upcoming marriage in a unique and personal way.
Some of the things to consider are the size of your invitation, whether they’ll be flat or folded, and if you’re going to include stamped envelopes for the RSVPs. You can try out different fonts, colors, and stationery styles with some test invitations to see which ones you prefer. The type of paper you select is also important in order to give your cards the proper look. Consider cotton linen, felt weave, or a professional grade of weighted stock.
Give some thought to your programs, too, because they also play an important part in your big day. Add full names of the bride and groom, wedding date, order of the ceremony, and location on each program. You might also consider adding brief wedding-party bios for fun. For an extra touch, consider adding interactive games on the backside of the program, such as bridal bingo or a crossword puzzle.
