Buying it premade or making it yourself?

That is what I was thinking is that I have plenty of time to learn. I have used one before to make things and it went pretty smoothly. I would definitely use it after, so I see it as a good investment (just working on convincing the FW it is). Thanks!

That is what I am hoping for! I am pretty crafty and my FW is good with power tools and the such! Thanks for the encouragement that it is possible!

You made some pretty great points! I would use the cricut after the wedding so it would be worth the money. But I didn't think about Photoshop or Canva and just get them printed. I might look into that as an option too! I think with over a year still that would give me plenty of time so I could space things out a bit so it wouldn't seem like such a huge time suck. Thanks!

That is what I am thinking that it would be great to make things for around the house, plus I run a small craft business so it would help out a lot with that. Thanks for the suggestion on vinyl I will look into that!

I have looked on Etsy and so far the only thing that I have found that I like are invitations. The signs and such aren't exactly what I want, so that is why I was looking towards making them my on my own. I am sure that the time would add up to more than purchasing, but I am okay with that investment. Thanks for the suggestion to ask to customize!
