Sustainability

DIY invitations are a great option if you are planning an environmentally friendly wedding. These invitations cut down on waste and allow you to use any supplies you may already have in your home. There is no need to buy a top-of-the-range printer or design software. Use materials you have on hand, such as paper from previous craft projects or the beautiful ribbon you purchased on a whim because it was on sale. All you need to make those charming wedding invitations is an idea!

For Everyone

It is a myth that DIY wedding invitations are only an option for people already experienced with crafting and designing. Creating unique designs that reflect you is entirely possible, even if your artistic abilities end with drawing a stickman! You do not have to be artsy to create something beautiful. With the correct mindset and a few YouTube tutorials, anything is possible!

Budget Friendly

On top of being environmentally friendly, DIY invitations are a great way to add some wiggle room to your budget. Designing and printing your own invitations cuts costs significantly, especially if you use supplies already in your home. The money you save on your gorgeous stationery can be put back into your budget and used to get that dream venue or dress. For many couples, DIY invitations are a cheaper alternative. Most modern at-home printers can handle printing large quantities as long as you have stocked up on ink and paper. However, remember that sometimes the cost of DIY invitations can be higher than anticipated. Make sure to calculate both options and see which comes out as better value to ensure you get as much bang for your buck as possible.

Bring the Fun into Wedding Planning

Creating DIY invitations takes time and is a mammoth task if done by just one person. Instead, why not sit down and work on your wedding invitations as a couple? Not only does this cut down the time it takes to create them, but it also serves as an excellent opportunity for couples to bond. The invitations are fantastic objects that help you cherish and appreciate the work and planning you put in to create your dream wedding. They are a great way to have a tangible object entirely created by you to keep forever as a keepsake. Making DIY invitations is an excellent opportunity to take some time out for yourselves in the wedding planning process and make it a fun crafting date!
