DIY Wedding Invitations


I’m not sure how I came with the idea or when, but I decided to make our invitations. With the help of my fiancĂ© (now husband), we started the design process and we made our invitation prototypes.



List of our materials:
Japanese Yuzen Paper from www.origami.com.au

Card stocks, pockets, and envelopes from www.makinginvitations.com.au

Invitation Paper from www.dizzidezine.com.au. This is the most challenging of all, who knows there are so many shades of white/off white on paper!

Diamond buckles from www.discountweddingpapers.com.au

Black Ribbons from www.makinginvitations.com.au

After completing all the invitations, we thought the pocket envelope looked a bit ‘empty’. The decision was to add something to it, to complete its look. A few designs came up, this is one of them:



The best one that we have is this:


 but we didn’t have enough yuzen paper left and the company had run out. So, we ended up buying another paper from www.amazingpaper.com.au in Newtown, and use yuzen for family invitations only.
