Wedding Invitations

I spent four months thinking elegant invitations meant spending more, then printed mine for under thirty dollars and nobody could tell.

I assembled forty invitation suites on my living room floor and got the inner envelopes backwards on the first eleven before I noticed.

Watercolor invites that print soft and pretty at home, plus the one that bled gray on my first try.

I went down a green rabbit hole planning my invites and these are the files that actually printed clean.

I went minimal because my printer hates anything busy, and it turned out cheaper anyway.

I rewrote my invitation wording six times and the version that worked was the one I texted to my cousin at midnight, so here is what we actually put on the cards.

Black and white invitations look expensive for about four dollars of cardstock, and here are the ones I would actually send.

Florals are the easiest way to make a printed invite look like you hired someone, and the easiest way to make it look like a craft store coupon. Here is where I landed.

I edited our invites at a kitchen table covered in someone else’s casserole dish, and they still came out better than the ones a friend paid a designer for.

I went modern with my invites mostly because my handwriting looks like a ransom note, and here are the files that actually printed clean.
