Creative Wedding Ideas for Handmade Wedding Stationery
Select your paper style: You can save the most money and maintain a cohesive theme by making all of your wedding stationery yourself. The first step is to decide on the type of paper you'll be using for all of your handmade wedding cards. A specialty craft store can show you different types of paper that are available in multiple shapes and sizes.
Select your lettering style: Will all of your handmade wedding stationary be handwritten with formal language? Are you using a fun font that you can print? Using the same style for all of your handmade wedding cards maintains a consistent feel from start to finish and eliminates decisions you'll need to make down the road.
Select additional decorations: You can add embossed seals, ribbons, photos, colors, quotes or flowers. The possibilities are endless. To keep things simple, decide on one or two unifying decorations you'll use.
Assembly line production: If you have more than 25 guests, you're probably going to need help to put everything together. Once you've purchased your stationery and decorations, gather your bridal party and family members to help you assemble, fold, stuff and mail.
