    Hi all,

    So we're getting married in June. Not far off now in wedding terms. However we havent done anything other than, book the date at the church and reception. I can't seem to find any invites that I like and that are cheap. With two kids, rent to pay and only one wage we dont have a big budget. If anyone can help or has any sites I can take a look at I'd be very greatful.

    xx

    I attempted to make them but they looked tacky so I gave up. Ive looked on ebay but still cant seem to find the right ones. It doesnt help that my OH doesnt help in the slightest either.x

    hahah sorry hun , you will find that unless its something you force him to do you might end up doing the whole lot. I purchased pretty generic invites and added to them , maybe buy some plain ones and just put some bling on them - or something related to your theme ? fingers crossedxx

    Have you thought about what colours/theme you want? I've been getting free samples from different companies but like you can't decide what I like...and I'm getting married in April!! Better get my skates on!

    Good luck, let me know if you find something.x

    Can't wait to be married!

    We havent picked a theme either. Were jsut getting no where its a never ending battle the wedding doesnt get brought up unless I mention it. That might be a good idea getting plain ones and adding to them. Same to you Kylee and tell me if you find something too. x

    i think you might need to pop back to the drawing board to give you some insperation hun - i reckon maybe think about what colours you like or a general interest you both like , or maybe what season it is so match with the colour of flowers from then ? I'm not sure you'll be able to pin what they should look like until you have some form of a decision ? xxx let me know if you need any input xx maybe the same advice for you too hun (Kylee)

    As much input as possible would be brillint hun, Dont know how to inbox people on here? Well to be honest we like different things, His thinking of a folklore theme I was thinking fish in bowls on tables lol. We managed to pick lilac as the colour for bridesmaids and table/ chair covers. I don't know what flowers flower when either lol x

    Saved by the bay of e! 75 gatefold invites printed on cream card tied with a red ribbon (envelope also included) for £36! :0) Just had to tie the ribbon myself which is fine. 50 OOS cards the same colour and typed in the same way another £30! Bargain, very happy and relived. Thought I'd be resorting to FB as couldn't find any that I liked!

    Can't wait to be married!

    one of my friends thats getting married next year was telling me this morning that she got her invites for £20 from ebay, she said she's having to make them herself but she bought a pack of ivory coloured card that she's folded in half, a pack of paper that just for printing so she can do the inside of her invites on the computer so they wont be hand written & for decoration on the front of the card she got a pack of love heart pearls & ribbon, the pearls have holes so she has slid the ribbon through the pearls & tied it round the side of the card then she just got silver love heart & wedding card sticky things that she's attached to the front of the card, they sound really nice & £20 is a total bargain i think! im gonna do a search on ebay & make them myself too i think xx

    just be careful with making your own I ended up spending about £60 and wasting materials by being over ambtious. Less is definiately more. Will post a pic of my invites.

    The pic is on my profile. I started out with loads of foam voard and mini pearls and stuff but it was too time consuiming so ended up going for a simple design and have managed to get them all finished now.

    You could just go to a printing site and print off postcard style invites, with a funky picture and the info, like an events flyer! :-)

    A friend of mine is making mine luckily as I'm rubbish at anything arty. I was bridesmaid last year though for the same friend who coincedently had a lilac wedding theme and got married in June. Her flowers were ivory roses for the bridesmaids and ivory roses for her with smaller lilac flowers inbetween (to give you an idea for that). Her invites were also handmade but you could easily have ivory card with lilac ribbon trying it all together. For the whole of my wedding I'm going for less is def more! xx

    One of the B2B on here reccommended Vp to me. Once you register with them they bombard you with offers, well worth a look!
