How to Print Your Own Invitations

Printing your own wedding or shower invitations may seem like a lot of work, but with the right resources, DIY printing can save you a bundle.

The first step to making your own wedding invitations is coming up with a design. That's why Budget Wise Bride offers customized, printable wedding and shower invitations for just $6-$10. As a previous budget bride, I understand how hard it can be to find affordable, professional wedding services. Budget Wise Bride's invitations are not only budget-friendly, but also high quality.

After you have an invitation design, it's time to gather supplies. This steps concerns many brides because they are worried about the costs of purchasing paper and envelopes themselves. However, there are many online sources offering amazing prices on all the materials you will need! CutCardstock.com offers 5” x 7” flat card stock and envelopes in a variety of colors at $6 for a pack of 25. For those with a longer guest list, The Paper Mill's online store offers flat 5” x 7” cards in pack of 250 for $32.97. As a bonus, this paper is already cut to 5” x 7”, saving you the time of cutting the paper yourself! (I really wish I would have known this for my wedding!) In addition to these sources, envelopes and card stock can be purchased from your local office supply stores.

So, now that you have your invitation design and supplies, it's time to get printing! Card stock works easily with Ink-Jet printers, and you can have your invitations ready to go in no time with the help of a few friends.

Finally, when it comes to addressing, the last tip I have to offer is to use printable labels. These work excellently for return addresses, and save a lot of time. Printable labels can be purchased at office supply and most home or convince stores.

Although it may seem intimidating at first, anyone can easily print their own wedding invitations! Good luck brides!
