Inspiration {DIY Invitations}

More than ever we are seeing our brides tackle DIY wedding projects with great success but none with such creativity & ease as Kristin. We loved her handmade wedding invitations so much we asked if we could feature them on our blog. Not only are they simple & affordable but they are absolutely charming & capture her rustic vintage style perfectly. We hope you love these just as much as we do & don't miss Kristin's instructions below....

How did she do it?

I ordered a custom stamp for the invitation and RSVP card from Antiquaria's website. Then I stamped onto the "paper bag" colored paper with white ink, covered with embossing powder and embossed. The map was hand drawn by me, scanned in and colored in PhotoShop, then printed onto the soft white colored card stock. I tied all of them together with a piece of soft flat stretch lace. The envelope liner was printed on 24lb white 8 1/2 x 11 printer paper and then trimmed down using an A7 envelope liner template from Paper Source. It was then glued in with a glue stick. The liner says JOHN & KRISTIN repeatedly and the wedding date in between each line, April 28, 2012 *. The liner design was created in Microsoft Word. The embossing took the longest, I made 100 invitations, but it's also quite easy to do while watching TV.

Supplies:

Paper, envelopes and embossing supplies: All from Paper Source

Invitation: A7, Paper Bag

Map: A6, Soft White

RSVP: A2, Paper Bag

Envelopes: A7, Paper Bag

Stamps: From Antiquaria in Austin

Lace: sold at Michael's but I bought directly from the supplier at www.simplicity.com for less

Real Wedding {Adrienne & Christopher}

Adrienne & Chris were a beautiful couple both inside & out. Because they were both busy professionals living outside of Austin we didn't have the pleasure of meeting them in person until on their wedding day. Their wedding was by far the most eagerly anticipated we've been a part of because of their commitment to remain pure until marriage in honor to their Christian beliefs. They were both filled with such love, joy, & pure excited that it was absolutely intoxicating! Chris is a speaker for the organization I Am Second & we've attached his video profile to give a glimpse into his powerful story - Click Here.
