5 Tips to Making Your Own Wedding Invitations
- Choose a template that matches your overall vision of your wedding. This is the first "taste" your guests will have of your big day, so set the right expectations.
- Coordinate the color palette to your wedding party and the reception décor.
- Add a picture of you and your future spouse. An engagement photo is always tasteful, or use your favorite candid of a special time you've shared.
- Proof your invitation carefully, and have at least two other people proof it too. Double and triple check dates, times and directions. No one wants to be late for your special day!
- Choose a card stock that is the right weight and texture for your invitation. Purchase the nicest paper you can afford that still fits within your budget.
