Printables – Wedding DIY Projects
Nowadays, more and more couples choose to tap into their creative sides and take on a number of Do It Yourself projects for their wedding day. Some say this adds more meaning to the day and it brings them closer as a couple as they work on these projects.
If you feel yourself wanting to jump onto this bandwagon, but don’t know where to start, here are a few ideas that’ll get those creative juices flowing.
For starters, you may want to take on projects that can be completed ahead of time and don’t get you tied down to the last few moments.
Wedding invites make an interesting project. It is amazing what one can achieve with some ideas, a printer and some paper. You can design and print your own invitations. Look online for inspiration. There are loads of such resources available.
There is a large assortment of paper available at craft or hobby stores. You can choose from card stock, handmade paper or recycled paper if you want to go green. The possibilities are endless. It is a good idea to decide on your wedding theme and color before you pick your paper. Alternatively, if you have a steady hand, you can choose to hand write your invitations.
If you intend having “Thank you” cards as well, those can be done the same way. To add another dimension to your cards, you can consider using ribbon or fabric that matches the theme and color of the day. You can also use glitter, if you choose. This is a great way to add some texture to the print.
Your wedding program or wedding ceremony booklets can also be printed so that they complement your wedding invites. These little booklets can be made special by using colored ribbon to bind the pages together.
If your wedding plans include a wedding menu for the guests, you can have a go at those as well.
There are different techniques you can use to achieve different looks. You can choose to embellish you cards in a variety of ways. If you’ve decided to go with print, you can research parchment craft ideas or look at letterpress as an option for an elegant touch. If you’ve decided to hand write your cards, you can look at different calligraphy fonts for ideas. You can experiment with a few styles and effects and then decide which one best suits you.
I’m sure these ideas will get you started and once that happens the ideas will just pour in. Have fun printing!
