Handmade Wedding Invitations: Easy Guide

Design Invitations Your Guests Will Keep

Handmade wedding invitations add a personal touch that sets the tone for your celebration.

Use Canva or Adobe InDesign. Keep text minimal: names, date, time, venue, RSVP. Standard size is 5x7 inches.

Pair a script font for names with clean serif for details. Use no more than two fonts.

Print on cardstock. Cut with a paper trimmer. Add decorative elements by hand.

Hand-address envelopes. Mail 8-10 weeks before the wedding.

DIY costs $2-4 per set vs $8-15 professional. For 100 guests, save $400-1,100.
