Handmade invitations can cost 10 – 20 dollars each, ouch.  Cut the amount of cash spent in half if not more by constructing them by hand.

This step will be customized to your event.  In most cases your party already has a theme.  It is a good idea to make known this idea not only with the wording of your invitation but also the style of your invitation.   E.g. For a beach theme wedding you may like to include a beach theme in your invitations and matching stationery, a heart in the sand design for example.

Choosing a layout is a card making basic step that will outline the entire procedure. Do you want this card to be the conventional open and close kind of set-up? What dimension will it be? Or do you want them to be postcard invitations? Again there are a lot of options to think about. Card construction can be as creative and complex, or straightforward and easy as you want!

There are many things to mull over when choosing paper and card stock.  Your theme will help you to choose colours patterns or imagery.  You also need to think about the heaviness or thickness (gsm) of the paper or card.  Card and paper weight is measured by ‘gsm’, the higher the number the thicker the card.  To give you an idea regular copy paper is 80gsm.

This one doesn't always come easy. Especially for a wedding invitation! Luckily for you we have a FREE wording gallery to help you out with this! Check out my section on invitation wording to help get you started. You can use my wording exactly as it is, or mix and match to create exactly what you are looking for!

This is a very important step to card making.  The crisp look of printed words is generally better than hand writing handwriting unless you have access to a calligrapher.  All our stationery comes with easy print wording templates, then, all you have to do is select the font for your wording.  The font you choose should also match the theme of your invitation and stationery.

Finishing Touches, adding your final embellishments and creativity.  Select and address the matching envelope.  Done!
