DIY recycled wedding invitations
First impressions are always so important. I wanted our invitations to say something personal about us in the way they looked and made. I found the most fabulous 100% recycled card and paper to use and found the choice is getting better all the time.
We had quite a package for the invitation which included cards with an inner page and matching envelopes, as well as an information sheet (or two). We put all the information on a website but just knew we’d get loads of calls if the information wasn’t there in black and white! I didn’t feel so bad as all the card and paper was 100% recycled!
I went for ivory paper from a small efficient stationary company called Recycled Paper Supplies. The website is straighforward to use and the stock is displayed online. Ordering a sample is a must unless you know the range – this helped me make a decision on which colour, texture and thickness to use. Ready scored greeting cards are a great bonus when you’ve got a few (hundred!) invitations to make and don’t forget to order the recylced address lables!
Search through the selections, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for.
The card I used for the place names was gorgeous and what about favour boxes?
