There are so many decisions during the wedding planning process. One decision you’ll need to make is about your invitations. Will you design your invitations yourself or go with a template or professional designer? Answering this question can be difficult, so we put together this blog to address some of the top things you should know.

Wedding Invitations

Thinking about your wedding invitations is important. Not only will they provide your guests with essential information about your big day, but they also are the first impression many guests will have of your wedding.

 

There are so many different options when it comes to wedding invitations. Some people prefer the convenience and cost effectiveness of virtual invitations, while others prefer the classic look of a paper invitation. You really can’t go wrong and the right option for your wedding can depend on your budget, invitation timeline, and what your individual preferences are as a couple.

 

While wedding invitations come in many different forms and types, many of them are expensive. One way to cut down costs is to design your wedding invitations yourself.

Designing Them Yourself

There are so many reasons why you should consider designing your own wedding invitations. We already discussed how this can cut down costs, but that’s not where the benefits stop.

 

Another great reason to design your own wedding invitations is that it can give you a high level of control. You may not be able to make edits or changes if you go with a template or a designer, so designing them yourself is a great way to make sure that they turn out exactly the way you want them to.

Online Options

One of the great things about living in 2024 is that there are SO many online options to consider for designing your own wedding invitations. Choosing an online option can be daunting if you don’t have a lot of design experience, but we promise that it’s doable!

 

By choosing an online template, you can plug in your information and send your invitations to the printer that day! You won’t have to worry about a designer and their timeline, so that is another benefit to consider if you have a tight deadline between now and when you want to send out your invitations.

Check Out Examples

If you’re not sure where to begin when it comes to designing your own wedding invitations, don’t be afraid to look up some examples online. Taking a look at what other couples have done can be a great source of inspiration. You may even be able to find a template that’s similar to another example you like.

 

Checking out examples can be helpful, but where exactly are you supposed to find them? Pinterest is a great place to start! When you’re scrolling through Pinterest, you can easily add invitations that you like to your boards and then go from there.
