Wedding Invitations!!

So I went half DIY for my invitations. After looking into the prices of buying card stock and all the required things for making invitation completely from scratch, I decided it was cheaper for buy an Invitation Kit on Amazon. I spent $30 for 50 invitations, which I think is pretty good (not including stamps, which I will talk about).

This is the box that it all came in

 

 

It only took me about five minutes to type out the inviations and RSVP cards. I just used Microsoft Word for the invitations, making the paper size 8.5 x 5.5 however for the RSVP cards I did use the template that you can do online through Wilton since you print two cards on one page and then tear it in half. It was incredibly easy and turned out great.

 

 

Then you simply put the invitations into the sleeves and put the ribbon around it! The ribbon came with little sticky squares to hold it together with the bow, but they didn't work very well so I got out the trusty hot glue gun and just put a little dot where all the sticky squares were.

 

And tada!! Invitations!! Next, stamps. This seems pretty mundane I suppose, but I was incredibly excited when I found out the post office actually has wedding stamps!! I took an invitation in to get it weighed to see how much it would cost to ship them all and the wonderful man working there pulls out 66 cent stamps with wedding cakes on them and then forever stamps with white roses for the RSVP cards. I was incredibly happy. So I put all the stamps on my envelopes and sealed them all up using a little sponge-type tool I got for two bucks at walmart (because licking 50 envelopes is no fun).

 

And they are all ready to be dropped off at the post office! Easy, beautiful and cheap wedding invitations!!!
