Made their own invites, order of service, menus etc?
I am not the most creative person on the planet but I really really want to make my own for the wedding. I just think it would be a lovely personal touch.
Does anyone know of any websites etc that offer hints or tips, or step by step guides? Or where did you find ideas etc.
Thanks :D

Oh thanks that'd be great! I'm completely useless! I bought a card making starter kit off ebay and ended up chucking the glitter all over the floor, i glued the card shut, and stuck stickers on upside down!!!! lol God knows how i'm going to make all the invites etc without a major disaster!!! lol xx

Im going to be doing the same, but as yet havnt sat down to begin being creative! I did however get loads of stationary stuff from 'Works'. You can get packs for a pound, of charms, ribbons, crystals etc and i got a variety of card in shades of purple and lilac (my wedding colours) as well as white and off white. Im constantly scanning 'google images' for inviation inspiration! And have kind of found what style i like. Get a few girl friends over and just start designing, the more people there the more ideas to share
order loads of free samples and see what ideas you can get from them :) x

dont worry too much about, we're making our own (well i am lol) but im not good at making my creative ideas a reality lol. the way i see it is if it is a bit ,to just keep it plain and simple. plain cards with one or two simple decorations on front. the script on the inside can be printed from a computer using a template adding details to each one in hand writting and sticking to the card. hope this helps =)
