Gorgeous, hand-lettered envelopes are everywhere these days. But with calligraphers charging $4 an envelope, they’re out of most couples’ budgets. Thankfully, you can print your own with nothing but a desktop printer, a template and some envelopes. Even if you’re not printer savvy, figuring out how to print envelopes is a lot easier than you think.
Read on to learn how.
Psst. To download your free save the dates, just scroll down to the “Materials” section and click the “Free Save the Date Templates” link.
Few things set the tone for your wedding quite like a unique save the date. Whether it be a series of photos on a photo booth strip or a card with a mini pencil attached (you know, so you can “pencil them in”–ha!), the cleverness gets me every time.
But clever doesn’t have to mean expensive or time consuming. My favorite way to add interest and beauty to simple save the dates is by layering vellum overtop a gorgeous cardstock. Not only is it insanely easy, but you can print them on your home printer and assemble them in less than an hour. Then tie everything together with a teeny gold brad and tuck them in festive envelopes before popping them in the mail.
And the best part? We’re giving away the template for free. We promise, your guests will love them.
Can we all just agree that wedding invitations should be a keepsake, not just another expense? It’s easier said than done, I know, but invitations are one of the very first things to set the stage for your big day. And even though I wholeheartedly believe in making a wedding feel good without such a hefty pricetag, it doesn’t mean that your invitations have to suffer. These folded wedding invitations do it all. They’re interesting, they set the tone for your big day and they don’t cost a fortune. Plus your guests will love all the unique details that make them stand out, so they don’t simply get posted to the fridge, they’ll be cherished for years to come.
The beginning of May means only one thing: we’re in the thick of wedding season. That’s both good and bad if you’re a soon-to-be-bride because, while it means that your wedding is only a few short months away, it also means that you only have a few short months to finish planning and tying up loose ends. And if we connect the dots here, that means it’s time to start thinking about invites (Hooray! We love invitations around here). Luckily for you, these DIY floral wedding invitations are both beautiful and easy to make. And they remind me of a classy garden wedding with a little upscale picnic action going on. Champagne + croquet, anyone?
Oh, and while I’m waxing poetic about DIY invitations, would you believe me if I told you that you can make them for less than $65? Yep! Not only are they gorgeously understated and elegant but they cost less than your average trip to Target. Miracles abound.
