Put your stamp on your wedding invites.

Your wedding invitation should be as unique and as special as your wedding day.

A wedding invitation is not only a card requesting someone’s presence to the occasion. Certainly, a wedding invitation has its functional aspect like the names of the bride and groom, the date, the location, and where to RSVP.  But in larger perspective, the wedding invitation lays down the overall tone of the wedding. It tells the color, theme, and the level of formality so the guests know what to expect.

Creating your own invitations may be a hassle and an added trouble to the whole wedding planning. But if you want to put your personal touch to your invites, it can very fun. You get to make your own designs and put your creative energy to work. What’s more, personalized invitations can save you money.

There is no rule to follow in making your wedding invitations. It is your art and your style. You can craft them, glitter them, and scent them. Anything goes.

For those who are on a tight budget, don’t be afraid to buy your materials online. If you will look around, you can buy cards, accents, and crafting tools online at a fraction of a price than what are selling on arts and crafts stores. Keep the money you save for other expenses at the wedding.

Now here are ideas that will personalize your wedding invitation:

1.       Put your picture in it. Either you print it on the card or attach a real one.

2.       Create a design that resembles the place of your wedding. This is excellent for garden weddings.

3.       Incorporate lines of your favorite song in the invitation. Better yet, include a personal prayer.

4.       Sign your invitation in ink.

5.       A ribbon or veil adds warmth and softens the rather cold and stiff card.

Don’t worry if you make mistakes in making your invites. So what if your cuts are crooked and you miss a spot? Remember that the only perfect wedding invitations are those that are made out of love.
