When planning a wedding one way to make a real impact on the whole event is to design wedding invitations yourself. After all, this will be the first point of contact with your guests, and is therefore an ideal opportunity to show them all just how important this day is.

To design wedding invites isn’t difficult and will add a real personal touch to your special day, whilst increasing anticipation of the event.

There are however some points to consider.
In the same way as you will be considering color schemes for your dress, bridesmaids, flowers and room, the same also applies to your invitations.
There are so many types and styles of paper to choose from that you may wish to make a real statement with colored wedding invitations, and match this to your overall color scheme, and choose for the many different layouts that are available.
This really is a time to create your own style. You can mix different colored paper with striking ink and personalized fonts, or maybe you would prefer the more traditional black and white wedding invitations.

DIY kits are available to help you decide on the design and all budgets can be catered for. Whether you want a straight forward invitation and envelope, or more adventurous single or layered panels.

If cost is an issue then consider the weight of the paper and envelope that you choose, not only for the initial purchase, but also for the cost in postage when your invitations are ready to be sent.

They really can be as luxurious as you want, with added embellishments and even choosing a small keepsack to be added to the envelope. Many poeple also like to consider the environment and opt for recycled paper for both the invitation itself and also the envelope. The important point really is to be as creative as you want to be. You can make the wedding invitations plain and simple, yet stylish, or as extravagant as you like.
