If you want to follow in Rod Stewart's footsteps for your wedding invites, check out the celeb stationer's new make-your-own range.

Cutting back on the wedding budget does not always mean compromising on quality, but you might have to find a bit of extra time and some willing helpers. Chartula Create is a fabulous new range of DIY mix and match wedding stationery from Chartula Studio.

Designed for brides-to-be who love Chartula’s stylish laser cut designs, but want to keep costs down in budget-conscious times, the new range can be adapted for invitations, menus, order of service and thank you cards.

Inspired by the hugely popular laser cut Fairytale and Fleurette designs, patterns include Butterfly Kiss and Fleur Heart and come in a wonderful range of colours, from lavender to bluebell cream, fuchsia pink to sorbet yellow and gorgeous pale pistachio.

All the sets, ordered exclusively online, come with detailed step-by-step instructions while envelopes, ribbons and insert cards are also available. Prices start at £2.50 per invitation.
