DIY Invitations - Hobby Lobby, Michaels, etc.

I personally haven't, but those are super cute!! I'm sure it'll turn out great!

We have the same colors. We also purchased our invites to do this way and I'm planning to try a test print soon. I've also heard that you can take them somewhere like staples to be printed so you but I haven't tried that.

We did ours that way and I really love them. Under the foggy paper flap is our engagement picture.

I also got DIY invited from Hobby Lobby during one of their 50% off all wedding stuff sales. I used their template and printed it first on regular printer paper cut to the same size as the invite (they didn't come with an extra to test) and laid it over the invite to see if it matched up.

However, just a small warning, when I went to test on the actual invite in my printer, it wouldn't pull the paper through because it was too thick so I had to use my parent's printer which is (obviously) a better printer.

If you want to save $$ from ink costs, I suggest going to your local print shop. I bought the DIY box kits (I got mine on sale too! $9/50pk!) and I'm just taking them to the print shop and they will design the template and everything. It will probably cost around $30-40 to print them all!

I ended up lucking out and finding multiple sets at the dollar store for a $1 each (normally at Michael's for $40 though). The templates are easy to use but buy a few extra so that you can test print. I probably printed up to five extra when testing colors, fonts, wording, etc. I paid about $40 on ink, but am still using those cartridges now, I didn't completely run them out (but this depends on your printer). I did doctor mine up a bit with an envelope liner and some extra glitter glue, I know not perfect, but this isn't the final product, did a little more tweaking.

Thanks everyone for your ideas and tips!

All of the photos you posted look really great and its getting me excited to do my own!

I may even try to use some envelope liners... Jess where did you find those? They look glittery?

I suggest shopping at Michaels, Joanne's or online. Anywhere but Hobby Lobby.

ETA: Joanne's has a huge wedding section and awesome coupons to rival Michaels.

I got mine from Hobby Lobby also. I made some changes but I love them

Stepanie - They weren't glittery initially. I doctored them up with glitter glue from Walmart and the liners I cut from glitter wrapping paper. I only had 70 to send out and I bought a silhouette die cut machine that made the liners easy.

Has anyone tried printing on their envelope im having problems printing on mine

Hi LaTonya - I didn't print directly on the envelope but I did get clear address label stickers from Avery.

They have an online program that you can use to type out the addresses with different fonts and designs. Very easy to use!

Here's the link to the labels!
