wedding invitations

Make them from scratch with a graphic designer?

Canva.com has hundreds of free templates for wedding stationary that you can customize or upload your own design. Take the saved files to a local Staples/OfficeMax or specialty print shop to print them out. It costs more than other places but canva.com will print for you.


The beauty of designing your own is being able to customize fonts, wording, etc and the rsvp cards for invited guests only by listing specific names to avoid confusion.

Check out Etsy! I bought mine from there. The seller I was working with was willing to make as many customization as I needed, and there was a great selection of designs available. I'm sure there are many others out there too that would do the same customization.

Custom make them on your own? 🤷🏽‍♀️ Thats what i did using microsoft publisher and jpg. Images

My fiancé is a firefighter so we wanted to have that incorporated in the invitations. The lady we worked with helped customized our invitations. My fiancé loves trains, takes pictures of them & has even had some published so he has a very nice camera. This is the pic we used for the front of our invitations.

I found Zazzle was fantastic for customizing invites! "Click to customize further" on any design takes you to a really dynamic interface where you can do tons of different things.

Have them custom made. We met with a paper company that makes invitation to your exact specification. I would go that route.

I originally wanted to make my own custom invitations, however once I started it, I realized that it was way too much work and I would just be better off spending the money to get them made for me. I went through Magnet Street after a recommendation from a friend, and was able to get a 75% sale on both invitations and save the date cards: https://www.magnetstreet.com/shop/wedding-invitations

I fell in love with the design of the Ethereal Evergreens card and ordered them right away. I was even able to add guest addressing to the envelopes, which saved me hours upon hours of time trying to do that myself.
