Project: Wedding Invitations
At last, we were able to make it and finished 20 pieces of beautifully hand crafted wedding invitations which is obviously a DIY invitation card. It took us only two straight days to fix it but it took us one week to complete the necessary stuffs we needed to finish the said invitation cards.
Each beautifully hand crafted card designs are created unique in a sense that each of the cards we created were not identical to each other. The color signifies that our motif is focusing on the rainbow colors and thus I still have to print out 6 more cards and will take another month and a half to distribute it to my family, relatives and friends.
A Beautiful Wedding invitation card that hubby and I created
It is a contemporary approach to the usual or traditional wedding invitations in the market. I said to myself, that my wedding can only happen once in a lifetime even though we were married in civil rights long time ago, getting married in front of your dearly beloved family, relatives and friends is something to cherish and I am really excited to see their faces as I give my invitation cards.
I even have a hard time which card to choose and set aside for myself and for my family
For those brides-to-be who still have time to prepare you own invitation cards, you can surely feel the excitement and the fulfillment of creating your own design of card. But I am just thankful that my hubby helped me in creating this wonderful and colorful wedding invitations. It was a bonding moment after all.
My DIY Wedding Invitation
This is to continue with the project I am going to finish within next month. I only have a few invites to make since I wanted our wedding to be simple and private so maybe 25 pieces would be enough for me, not unless my mom wants to add more people into my list and that makes me want to expand my work also.
Anyway here is the tools and other materials I have included on my project. Cutting tools that have different designs which I can use for cutting my papers.
Some wonderful and colorful stickers that can accentuate my motif of a rainbow color. I also do have a colored stamp pad and a sunflower designed stamp to design my invitation card.
You can buy these wonderful stickers at Hobby Ideas shop located at Inorbit Mall in Mumbai India. For those who are not from India, I guess you can check out your favorite bookstore and office supply if they have the same or equal material that I have here.
My project for this week and for the month of December is to finish my DIY Wedding Invitation. Since the Theme for our Wedding will be a Colorful Rainbow, the color motif of our wedding is also consisting of bright and colorful shades which belongs to the prism color or rainbow (ROYGBIV) Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.
On my first part of the project, I have gathered some materials like hand made papers to tracing papers and hard board papers. It does include a shade of orange gold, royal blue and indigo colors. I still do want a touch or green and yellow and red, but maybe I can add that on the ribbon or lace itself.
So far, I haven't started anything yet, unless I will be able to get my venue done like reserving it first before proceeding to printing out of invitations. I already have an idea of a design but I cannot show a sample here yet so maybe what I can do is just show you the materials that I have gathered here for the preparation of my Do-It-Yourself Wedding Invitation.
I will also be posting the amount as soon I wrapped it all up on my project. I am already excited to start it with but I still have to wait for 8 to 10 more days before I can go green on my print outs.
My paper board which is Orange Gold in Color
Shimmery as you can see, it was kinda thick and rough
I will need more time to finish my lists although I am almost done with my entourage, only brushing off with some words to include on the last page for my wedding invite. I will post here also the papers and tool I have included for my project. Any bright ideas and suggestions on the designs you might want to share with me?
