Wedding Invitation

To Make or Not To Make?

personally I am DIY'ing  mine because I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on something that will just get thrown away lol
HOWEVER if those are the exact ones that you want and can afford it then I say go for it! BUT since u are an interior designer I believe u are pretty crafty so ur DIY would probably look really good as well!!!

I'm DIYing mine to save money, and because I am a really crafty person and have wanted an excuse to try out papercrafting. Plus doing DIY means I get exactly what I want. :)

When I first started planning I had so many DIY projects planned that I would never be able to accomplish evererything. So what I ended up doing was prioritizing. If the project seemed like it was going to be more of a chore than fun (knitting shawls for my bridesmaids) or wasn't realistically doable (baking my own wedding cake) I am either buying it or having another of my talented friends handle it for me.

For things that are big money-savers (making my own veil, m making my own favors, doing my own flower arrangements) or just fun projects in general that happen to result in savings (making my invitations, sewing clutch purses for bridesmaid gifts) I am making DIY commitments.

There are so many awesome wedding DIY ideas out there that it's easy to want to make EVERYTHING you see!

I did DIY mine and I think that I saved ALOT of money by doing so!  I was super lucky though because my sis has her major in graphic design.  So, she had a special program just for designing stationary like this.  Depending on the type of invitation you end up doing, they are very time consuming, but so worth it:)  I'd say go with the DIY if you want to:)

I DIY'd my pocketfold invitations and it was sooo time consuming and I had to comprimise with a different idea since I couldn't duplicate the same design. We spent $3.50 per invite and had about 260 to make.

These really look simple enough to DIY. At the time when I found and purchased my invitations I wasn't yet as DIY savy as I am now and the task seemed way to important and time consuming to me. If you have the time I would totally DIY them and save that money for something else.
