If you’re thinking of creating your own DIY wedding invites there’s never been a better time or an easier process in doing so. We really feel like we’re changing the game when it comes to printable wedding and event templates. Our browser based designer app just makes it so easy!

In this post I’d like to show you the simple process of selecting a template from our shop and editing the template to make it yours using our web application. Before we get into that though, let’s first look at the Why?.

Why create and print your own wedding invitations?

There are many reasons you may want to create your own wedding invitations. For most people, it could be the money you’ll save by doing so. Paying a company to create and print your wedding invites can be expensive and it can even take quite a bit of time from start to finish. So saving money is a great reason in itself to create your own invitations.

Another reason may be the flexibility you have in creating your own invitations. You can play around with designs, fonts, and colors until you get something that’s perfect for your special day. You just don’t have this kind of flexibility when hiring someone else to create them.

A third reason may be just for the fun of it! DIY-ing is huge right now. It’s fun to do it yourself and it lets you tap into your creative side. If the rest of your wedding is being done DIY style then it just makes sense to create and print your own invitations, rsvp’s, menus, table placecards, etc.

The above a just three good reasons to create your own wedding invitations but there are a whole lot more!
