Make your wedding more personal and snip the budget at the same time by making your own wedding invitations. According to Alison Wren of Wedding Crafter, 39% of brides design their own stationery.

WP newly-wed, Cheryl says:“We spent ages looking for stationery that matched our green colour theme but couldn’t find anything so we decided to buy blank cards, inserts and envelopes from Wedding Crafter, and design them ourselves. We printed the inserts at home and bought some pretty green ribbon to tie the cards with. We were really pleased with the finished invites and lots of people commented on how original they looked.”

As well as sample packs, Wedding Crafter sells a unique “Design Your Own Wedding Invitations Kit” which allows brides to trial and select the ideal materials for their personal invitations. And with loads of step-by-step advice, as well as pretty embellishments and ribbons, it’s easy to add a personal touch to your invites and create truly memorable but professional looking stationery at a fraction of the cost.
