Inspiration Evolution: The Invitations

June 16th, 2010 by Allison

We all share of a love paper goods and paper designs. Having a little tag, the right font, a cute logo, etc are the elements that go into the final product of the paper products. Overall, these elements make or break a wedding if you ask me!

So check out Liz’s magic when it came to her invitions! She did every single part herself after countless hours, researching her style, refining the placement, and creating an extremely cohesive element that went with every other aspect of the wedding.

I love creating invitations and paper goods so it only seemed fitting that I do it myself for my wedding. I spent countless hours getting the invitation just right. I loved the style of bold unique fonts that just speak for themselves. I had a return address stamps and logo stamp made for the wedding which I incorporated into the invitations as well to add an even more personal touch. The invitations ended up coming out beautifully. Of course we decided to use kraft envelopes since we love natural colors.


So how did these DIY invitations come about??

It started with some basic inspiration….

Deciding on the style and the colors…..

Figuring out what fonts and layouts looked best….

Trying some of her own and really honing in on the style of the whole wedding.

Picking the perfect additions to work with the invitations…

Making a few final products…then changing them around again!

Again, here is the finished invitation which I think came out perfect! In the end, it matched the style of the event, incorporated the same details, and turned out to be the perfect glimpse into what was to be expected of her wedding :)

Any DIY invitation makers have some helpful hints???

    How awesome! I’m not that crafty so I’m using much simpler invitations but I admire the personality and uniqueness of these homemade ones!
