Make your own

My friends were into scrapbooking and I am thankful for that.  They talked me into designing our own cards, which we did.  It wasn't very expensive or hard - in fact it was a lot of fun.  We got together with our friends a couple of  nights to work and talk.  We had a lot of comments about the uniqueness of our cards and how much they were liked.  We even had people who weren't invited to the wedding because we knew they couldn't make it ask to get a card so they could save them.

e mail something clever to people.

i got the best e mail invite to a wedding and it's now up on my wall. which is more than can be said for the reams and reams of forgotten flowery, girly, useless doilys of the past (which never made it past the service)

My nieces prepared their own invitations for their respective weddings, and it was fun and they got to use their creativity too. They were unique and personal.

I wish I would have thought of that when I got married but I liked our invitations. I did notice that a couple years after we got married a family relative had the same invitation that we did. If we made our own invites we could have made them more heartfelt and personal. I'm not that crafty but I think I could have pulled it off. It also would have been a great thing to do with my bridesmaids.

For our future wedding, my man and I have decided to have a personalized invitation.  We're planning to have it in a most unique result considering for the invitations we did to our previous customers.  We want it to be different from all.  In fact we're now starting collecting special papers that would best suit to a native style.  Photos will be shared right after our ceremony.
