DIY: Wedding Invitations by Weddingbee

Wedding invitations are a guest's first glimpse into your wedding style.

Weddingbee offers two areas devoted to Do It Yourself (DIY) wedding invitations. One part actually sells kits you customize to make your wedding invitations. The other section is an area of personal DIY accomplishments. Another bride shares the invitations she created. Some of these creations come with easy-to-follow instructions while others serve as inspiration for finding your own way to mimic the creation.

Instructions

Purchasing DIY Kits

1. Go to the weddingbee.com website. Weddingbee compiles extensive wedding information of all sorts. It works as a resource during all stages of planning.

2. Click "Invitations" under "Shop Weddingbee." This link takes you to the vendor section where you can purchase various items.

3. Place your cursor over the "Invitations" tab at the top of the newly opened page. You can verify you are on the correct page because the furtherest tab to the right will be "Return to Weddingbee" and the top should read "Invitations by Weddingbee."

4. Select "DIY Kits" from the drop-down menu that appears after you hover your cursor over "Invitations."

5. Choose the design you like, choose the appropriate number and order the kit. You can customize colors for some of the invitation kits.

Tips & Warnings

• Shop around for paper vendors. This can save lots of money in the invitation process.

• For complicated invitations, consider using a printer. Even if you design the invitation, the cost of ink and the time to properly align various sizes of paper can be overwhelming.
