DIY Wedding Invitation

We are very proud sharing with you our wedding invitation. We wanted a non traditional invite for our wedding and wanted not to splurge much for it. 

Materials were bought in National Bookstore. Hal was in-charge of measuring the size of the layout and I am in-charge of the design using Photoshop. Hal assisted me with printing and cutting. We used Epson L800 for printing. 

Pros: 

More bonding time for the couple

Will enhance your Photoshop skills

You can easily update your invitation details

You’ll save a lot of bucks

Cons:

Possible petty fights if your hubby doesn’t want to cooperate or lazy 

You’ll get a bit frustrated if you wasn’t able to achieve your desired style and design

You’ll get sleepless nights in cutting and working on it 

Overall, I am happy with the results. We also spent less than 1,000Php for our invites, so it’s very worth the effort. It’s just a simple invite but we've made it out of love. 

2nd DIY: Will You Be Our Ninong/Ninang Card

We decided to just edit our Save The Date card to be our Will You Be Cards for our Ninong and Ninang. The envelopes were DIY-ed too. We also printed small version of our monogram for the envelope seal. We wanted our future Ninongs and Ninangs to have these printed invites to make it extra special. We personally gave these to them upon informing them about the marriage. :)

First DIY: Save The Date

The first DIY is our Save The Date card. After hours of browsing the net for idea and design, I fell in love with the minimalist yet cute design from from Weddingchicks.com. So I decided that instead of creating one, I downloaded the free invitation template and had it customized using Photoshop. It’s really an easy job because I love Photoshop editing is very used to it. Hal approved it immediately! We just had it forwarded to our friends and relatives via Facebook instead. Not only that we save a few bucks, paperless is Earth friendly. :)
