How to Make Wedding Invitations

[@AlannaFoxx]

This is gorgeous! I couldn't imagine doing it for any more than 20 guests 😂. Half of my guest list would be getting these, the other half printed on cardstock 😩

[@SimplyHandmade]

I feel this! hahahhahahah it's tedious 1000%!

[@JayMuneeDIY]

Thank you for this! They're lovely

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you Jay 😘😘

[@rebeccagill295]

This is so pretty! Was the actual invitation printed on cardstock or regular printer paper?

[@lalvarezromano]

Amazing how you plan all the design!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you! Planning it out before trying to put together the design on the computer is key!

[@SheerDesignStudio]

Love this! Can you show us how you addressed the envelopes? is it printed or written

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you! I addressed the envelopes the same way as the invite - it's printed :)

[@veronicaserrano2786]

Beautiful cards l love it

[@SimplyHandmade]

Glad you like them!

[@veronicaserrano2786]

Thank you for the idea I am going to do my wedding cards at home thank you so much

[@SimplyHandmade]

Wonderful! Send pics if you make them!! Have a couple good movies lined up, too!!

[@chibiinyourchan]

That's super pretty! And you use to do this for hundreds of guests?!😱

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you! Yes, I used to do hundreds of these invitations for a single wedding. It can get VERY tedious but I really loved when I got messages from my brides telling me how much they loved their invites :)

[@marianarodriguez5343]

Anyone... when you print them out do they come with like a 1/4 border around. Do you trim the edges? Or how do print so images as borders hit the edge.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Hope this isn't too late but you print and cut down to size! I don't know of any at home printers that will print to the edge.

[@ericagarcia6928]

What printer do you have girly?

[@SimplyHandmade]

i have a brother laser printer

[@aprilfaithersan9398]

how did you edit or what did you use on dragging all those flowers. not so techy here

[@SimplyHandmade]

Hi April! I used Adobe InDesign to drag in the flowers and to overall edit the invitation. I didn't want the video to be too long but maybe I can create a dedicated video to show you exactly how I created the invite on the computer. Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in :)

[@JSCDR]

I would be totally interested in knowing more. Thank you! It’s gorgeous!

[@charmainepillay4660]

Simply Handmade I'm interested too. Please do a video explaining how to. I've been wanting to learn how to use InDesign but I'm really struggling.

[@erikacervantes4489]

What program did you use to print make these?!

[@SimplyHandmade]

I used Adobe InDesign

[@MSUNICORN63]

Talented

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you Brenda!

[@l.reneegeorge4872]

Truly beautiful

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you!! So glad you like it :)

[@marysanchez2886]

Can you do a video showing how you did the envelopes.🙂🙏🏽

[@SimplyHandmade]

Hi Maria! It's not too different from the actual wedding invitation. I just designed in InDesign and printed directly on the envelope :)

[@nostressbeblessed]

Did you customize the envelopes if so how?

[@SimplyHandmade]

I did! It wasn't too hard. I customized the document size like I did with the invite and printed it directly on the envelope. :)

[@teefrazier7248]

Beautiful

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thanks so much, Tee!!!

[@1ladiicupkake]

Hey I absolutely love this video but may I ask what type of paper did you print the invites on? Is it cardstock? If so what is the thickness?

[@SimplyHandmade]

Yes! I got the cardstock from Michael's and i believe it's 80lb in thickness.

[@littlebitnj78]

Beautiful!!! Love the color combo and you know I'm not into flowers, but in that color combo I loved it!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Ah! Thank you!!! That's the main goal. Take something people don't usually like and make them love it! haha. :)

[@ms.anonymous8569]

Very nice I like it God Bless.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thanks so much, Sharon! God bless you, too!

[@kenyadawson8462]

How much did you charge for 100 of these?

[@SimplyHandmade]

Kenya Dawson I don’t sell invites anymore but to make these, they would for sure be a few thousand for 100 because of all the labor! It’s definitely an intricate design

[@MaaheVe]

it is CHIPBOARD SHEET?

[@SimplyHandmade]

chipboard varies in thickness so I've linked the one I used in the description box. Hope this helps!

[@kimberlyjones6476]

This is amazing but couldn't you just save your design and upload it on a printing site to be printed? I love handmade things, but I couldn't imagine doing a hundred by hand.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thanks so much! Of course you can save it and send it off to a printer but it's much more cost effective to do it all on your own. I didn't do invitations before I got married and seeing the cost of what I wanted vs. what I could afford I opted to do it on my own... trust me, it is VERY tedious .. choosing a good show to binge & recruiting bridesmaids could help that. lol.

[@ruksharjahan8987]

Hello Dear!!! Just an amazing card.....loved it....wanna ask if you can make me the same card for just 60 in numbers....please looking forward to here from you dear.....😊
