Homemade Wedding Invitation Ideas

Home Made Wedding Invitation Ideas
Here are several home made wedding invitation ideas for you to try.

1. There are many themes for your wedding to choose from. Your Home Made Wedding Invitation will be a result of the ideas you want to share at your wedding..

The first step in designing your handmade wedding invitation is choosing the right paper, both for the envelope, and the invitation itself. CJ Paper offers high quality options to choose from.

To instill your ideas on the wedding invitations, you may choose whether the paper is embossed, double embossed or triple embossed.

The ideas for embossing are many: Roses are specially favored for home made invitations, as they are the universal symbol of love. White vellum will add the texture to give your invitation a warmer feeling.

Look for pre-folded cards or use cardstock and fold your own. Using a bone folder is a good idea because it makes a very nice clean fold. There are several sizes to choose from, make sure you have an envelope to fit or be prepared to make one.

When choosing an envelope, ideas can be to line the envelopes in silver, gold or pearl. Second weddings may use other colors, but these three are the most elegant, even for a second marriage.

More ideas to embellish your hand made wedding invitations choose a seal for your envelope; it will add a touch of distinction and allows for a very personal expression of taste.

Keep it simple and you will not fail. Again, ideas with roses, doves, very short phrases about love, will do well in your wedding invitation seals. Add, texture to your wedding seal for added warmth in the envelope.

The seals are usually embedded which will add the depth to your wedding invitation.

Choosing the proper glue is important in making your own cards. You can use a glue gun which works well but can wrinkle many lighter papers. A standard glue stick is probably the best all around option. It dries smooth and clear and can be used with nearly any paper weight.

Ideas for the text of your handmade wedding invitation. You can use an elegant statement inviting all your family and friends to your wedding. You can use a famous line from a poem to introduce the wedding invitation. Shakespeare is a good source for the more sophisticated. Simply google it using the terms, “love quotes”. Or use Search It! By the way, great for building a wedding website! No tech stuff to learn, just point and click.


6. The next step is to design the text. What will your card say? A decision also needs to be made about whether to put the text on the inside or on the cover or both. The text can be applied using rubber stamps, stickers or computer printed letters.

7. Once you have your overall design it is best to lay everything out on the card before you glue it all together.

8. Now that the front is finished it is time to begin on the inside of the card. Try using layering techniques with paper that matches the front of the card.

9. Your card is almost finished. Are you pleased with your design? Are any finishing touches needed such as: colored brads or buttons? If you used a stamp would the design look good colored in?

10. I believe a card is not finished until the fiber is added, both inside and out. Matching colors from the design, take two or three strands of coordinating ribbon, yarn, metallic thread or wire and tie into a knot. Trim the ends so it looks the way you want it. Attach with your glue gun and you are done with the card.

11. The envelop please! To put a final touch on your design decorate the envelop to match the card. Use your markers, chalk, stickers and stamps to create an envelop that is as gorgeous as what's inside!!  In very little time you can create a special and unique card and envelop using your own design.
