Design & Print Your Own Wedding Invitations

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life. The big day can also be one of the costliest. Here's an idea that can save you hundreds of dollars while making your wedding day even more special. You can easily design and print your own wedding invitations and announcements. You can also print your envelopes. There are thousands of websites with wedding invitation software kits that allow you to do this project with ease. Many also provide ideas for wedding programs that you also design and print yourself.


Aside from saving lots of money, you can be sure that your custom designed wedding invitations will be unique and especially meaningful to you and your beloved, as well as family and friends. You can choose from hundreds of different paper colors, layer papers and specialty papers. You can use wedding clipart or superimpose your own images to create a variety of effects. You can print your invitations in one color and the envelopes in another. When you design and print your own wedding invitations, the possibilities are unlimited.

Besides the fun you'll have with these DIY wedding invitations, there are several other benefits of a more practical nature. You can experiment with your design as much as you like, until you've got it just perfect. Conventional wedding invitations are available in many styles and colors, but you're limited in your options to - well - conventional designs.

Another benefit to designing and printing your own wedding invitations is that you can add as many additional guests as you like. With a commercial print job, once you place your order, it's unlikely you'll get any additional invitations on a short print run in time - at least not without great expense.

You can begin your DIY wedding invitation project even before you've set the date or booked your wedding and reception location. When you're ready, you simply insert the correct information.

You're also not limited to stock wording and phrases when you choose to design and print your own wedding invitations. Many wedding invitation sites provide templates that you may personalize with the words and phrasing of your choice. Etiquette requires certain conventions, but these websites also give you practical help with these conventions.

With so many benefits and such flexibility, there's a lot to be said in favor of designing and printing your own wedding invitations. Best of all, you can print everything on your printer at home! So when you make your wedding plans, think about doing your wedding invitations yourself. In addition to creating a stunning and memorable keepsake, think of what a few hundred dollars might add to the honeymoon!
