There can be no trifles in preparing for a wedding; the first step after choosing a date should be sending out invitations so that dear and welcome guests can plan their time in advance. Of course, the easiest option is to buy or order invitation cards from a printing house, but then they are unlikely to be individual.
Do-it-yourself wedding invitations carry good energy: even if you make all the invitation cards the same, you can add small details to some of them “tips” so that relatives and friends understand that this was done especially for them. Making invitations is a lot of fun, involve your significant other, girlfriends and friends in this activity, handicrafts bring you closer together and at the same time can reveal hitherto dormant talents. Who knows, maybe deep down you are an artist, designer or folk craftsman?
The invitations must indicate the names of the newlyweds, guests, wedding date, time and place of the ceremony and wedding, where the banquet will take place, and so on. In fact, an invitation is the first impression guests have of the upcoming celebration, so it’s worth trying.
So, we bring to your attention several ideas and small workshops on how to make a variety of wedding invitations with your own hands.
Card with ribbons
To make such an invitation you will need: 2 multi-colored sheets of thick paper, ribbon, double-sided tape, beads, a stationery knife, and a color printer.
The tape width is approximately 7 mm, paper density is 230 g/m.
For the outside of the card, cut out a 12x12cm square.
Take a sheet of A4 paper, draw a pattern or drawing on it, or choose a ready-made one on the Internet and print it out.
Conventionally, you need to divide the invitation into 3 parts: the name of the guest is written on the left, your signature on the right, and the invitation itself in the middle. It is better to use a ruler to bend thick paper.
Cut 2 pieces of tape, 15-18 cm long. Using double-sided tape, glue one piece on one side of the base, and the other on the other side of the base.
Now we glue the squares to the finished background with the pattern (you can do this using double-sided tape or regular glue).
We tie the ribbons onto a bow, after inserting them into the bead. The card is ready, you can send it to recipients!
Card with heart
To make it you will need: sheets of thick paper, decorative braid, sequins, nylon roses for decoration, gold or silver marker (better choose one with a calligraphic tip), glue.
You choose the shape and size: the postcard can be round, square, rectangular or even complex in shape. On the front side there will be a “heart”, the contours of which are drawn with a simple pencil.
We glue braid, sequins, and roses along the contour. You can also use decorative lace, twine, cords and more. In the center of the heart we write the word “Invitation”, we decorate the rest of the card by hand: you can use simple curls and patterns, you can use stickers, you can use drawings or stencil painting - it all depends on your imagination. We write the invitation text inside and hand it to the guests!
Envelope with a secret
A regular landscape sheet needs to be cut in half. We fold one half three times (we wrap the edges towards the center). Using embossed scissors, you can make patterns and cut off the top corners.
We cut out a rectangle from paper of a different color, approximately 7x10 cm in size, and write an invitation on it. Insert it into the envelope.
Using a hole punch, make two holes along the edges of the envelope and invitation, thread a ribbon through it and tie it. You can decorate the envelope with decorative stamps and drawings.
Also make lacing on the envelope itself, so it will look prettier.
Scrolls
You can make invitations in the form of scrolls; they are artificially aged in a solution of strong tea or coffee, and lightly scorched along the edges with a candle to give the paper a special texture. If you wish, you can put hieroglyphs and strange symbols on the scroll - this will make it look more interesting. However, you can limit yourself to typical wedding symbols - doves, hearts, rings. The edges can be processed with embossed scissors; the scroll can be decorated with compositions of artificial flowers, lace, ribbons, and beads. Then we rewind the invitation with ribbon or twine and send it to the recipients.
Posters and newspapers
Unusual invitations in the form of a poster will appeal not only to the newlyweds, but also to their guests. All you need to do is make invitations on your computer, add fun photos and type the text in calligraphy. After that, print the card and put it in an envelope. Voila, simple and interesting.
You can make the invitation in the form of a newspaper: place a large ad with photographs of the newlyweds on one part, and fill the empty spaces with interesting stories and funny stories about acquaintance, first dates, and the life of the future spouses. True, in order to do this on their own, some of the young people need to have a good knowledge of the features of layout and be able to use a computer.
Sweet invitations
If families with children will be present at your celebration, then the invitation should be interesting to everyone. To do this, you can arrange the invitation itself in the form of a small note and place it in a self-sewn bag. To do this you will need organza (cut out a 10x20 cm rectangle, fold it in half and sew it together). The bag can be tied with a rope or a ribbon sewn into the top. We decorate with sparkles, artificial flowers, and beads. And most importantly: add candies or dragees for those with a sweet tooth. Both interesting and tasty.
Wedding invitations using quilling technique
The quilling technique is not the easiest, but if you wish, you can create real masterpieces. We bring to your attention detailed master classes on making invitation cards of different styles.
To create such an invitation you will need thin strips of paper (width 3 mm, length 30 cm), designer cardboard (white and lilac or any other colors), a stationery awl, scissors, a picture with a silhouette of the bride, a knitting needle, glue, ruler, pink paper, the printed word “Invitation”, however, it can be written manually.
We print or write text on white cardboard. For example, like this:
On the right we place the silhouette of the bride (if you are good at drawing, you can do without a stencil). Invitation size 12x32 cm.
Using a ruler, measure the middle of the invitation and draw a line with the blunt edge of a knitting needle (carefully, do not cut the cardboard), bend the card in half.
Open the invitation, retreat 2 cm on the sides and 1.5 at the bottom and top, then paste in the pre-printed text of the invitation.
We trace the top of the bride's dress (you can use tracing paper for this), cut it out according to a template from white cardboard, and glue it onto the dress. We take strips for quilling (you can make them yourself from a regular white sheet of paper), carefully wind them onto a thin awl or knitting needle, holding them with your hand so that the strip is well wound.
We get these blanks (we fix them with glue so they don’t fall apart), and glue them onto the bride’s dress.
Apply a drop of glue to the paper, and then press one side of the circle against it and hold for several seconds. We repeat the procedure until we fill the entire outline of the dress.
Now we make a bouquet. Draw a spiral like this, cut it out and glue it onto the postcard to make a three-dimensional rose.
In the upper left corner we paste the word “Invitation”; you can decorate the card with ready-made die cuts, which you buy in craft stores. The postcard is ready!
Another variation in the quilling technique will appeal to lovers of vintage style. To make an invitation card we will need: cardboard, quilling paper or just colored paper, an openwork napkin, beads, ribbons, glue, a figured ruler, 2 skewers (thicker and thinner), scissors, a lighter.
Using a ruler, we divide our postcard in two, measure the center of the fold and draw it with the blunt side of the knitting needle - then the postcard will open easily.
Now we take a paper napkin - it will be a kind of openwork frame. Glue it to the front of the invitation.
We make flowers from the lace, and to prevent the ends from becoming fluffy, they need to be burned with a lighter. We fix it with glue so that it doesn’t fall apart, and twist it in a spiral.
Glue it inside the outline of the card.
We begin to wind strips onto skewers (awl, knitting needle): the wider the skewer, the larger the element will be.
We give the desired shape (the easiest way is to insert the workpiece into a figured ruler, so it will not fall apart, and then fix the turns).
Glue the finished decor onto the card, pressing down well so that it does not fall off.
We cut out a butterfly from paper or a piece of fabric (however, you can use a regular sticker), decorate it with beads or seed beads.
We glue several lace pieces, beads, and make a bow from the ribbon.
A beautiful DIY postcard is ready!
Scrapbooking technique and wedding invitation
If your wedding is quite modest, you can make invitation cards using a more complex technique - scrapbooking. You will need thick paper with a pattern, plain paper for the base and decoration (braid, beads, artificial flowers, etc.). It is better to extrude the text with a special guillotine knife, and not with scissors or a knitting needle - they leave kinks.
Glue the paper with the finished pattern to the base using double-sided tape.
We pass the ribbon through the holes. By the way, it is better to use stationery tape; construction tape has a specific smell, and glue can leave sloppy stains.
Tie a bow from the ribbon and attach decorative elements under it with glue.
Stylish invitation card is ready! All that remains is to write the name of the guest and yourself
Depending on the style of the wedding, the invitation can also be themed: for an oriental-style wedding, a postcard in the form of a fan or a scroll with hieroglyphs would be appropriate; for a beach style, a message in a bottle or a postcard in the shape of a flip-flop would be appropriate.
Vintage style - brooches and lace, baroque style - three-dimensional designs, ornate ornaments, a lot of gold and sparkles, eco-style - all kinds of leaves, berries, grains, seeds and other gifts of nature!
Imagine, create, and your wedding celebration will be individual in every way!

You can, of course, get by with beautiful ready-made samples from a printing house, but imagine how surprised and delighted guests will be when they find not stamped postcards, but messages with a piece of their soul embedded! In this article we will tell you all the secrets of creating wedding invitations and.
DIY wedding invitations. Where to begin?
First you need to think about the general theme and nuances. Usually, for each wedding a certain theme is chosen, which determines the interiors, outfits and invitations. Having decided on an idea, it’s worth working out templates that will help simplify the process and quickly produce messages for a large number of people.
Wedding invitations. Templates
Let's go from simple to complex: let's start with a handmade postcard in an envelope. We buy a set of beautiful paper, form identical books from the sheets, paint them according to the theme, and write text inside. To make the task easier, you can take a thick rubber sponge, cut the necessary patterns in it, dip it in regular black ink and stamp different lines in the same places (see photo).
Advice! Stationery stores sell beautiful ready-made stamps that you can purchase and use to design your postcards.
In this case, it is better to choose a contrasting option - black and white or white and red, etc. The main thing is the content; Against the background of external simplicity, the text should win.
Chic, shine, beauty
On the one hand, this is the vocabulary of Ellochka the cannibal from “12 Chairs”, on the other hand, sometimes you really want an extravaganza. In this case, once in a lifetime, rhinestones, feathers, silk ribbons, etc. will not harm. We cut, glue, write - here you no longer have to think through the text very carefully, it will still be eclipsed by the luxury of the radiance of the outside. A short and catchy line is enough, something like “Vasya and Katya invite you to the best wedding ball of the 21st century.”
Simplicity can also be original - consider this 3D version of invitations.
From flat standards to volume
- Magic boxes. Today, many budget stores sell different sizes of plain cardboard gift boxes. This is great material to start making magic happen. All that remains is to buy satin ribbons, sets for with various figures - ladybugs, flowers, hearts, etc. on self-adhesive film. A couple of evenings - and the stack of invitations is ready; Now all that remains is to type it on the computer, print it out, or write the text by hand together with your chosen one. We put them into boxes and hand them over to the recipients - Russian Post, personal transport or a courier service can help us.
Advice! If you send invitations by Russian Post, do so in advance, taking into account a possible one-week delay. If you cannot afford a courier service, you can involve several friends in the delivery process in their personal vehicles under the strictest condition of non-disclosure of secrets.
- Funny bottles. Many couples prefer to have an outdoor wedding. If you are planning to get married near the sea or an ordinary river, use the idea with invitations in the form. Decorative glass containers are also sold in many budget stores. Some of them look like a work of art at an inexpensive price. All that remains is to write the invitations, roll them into a tube, place them inside, sprinkle in a few decorative starfishes and “pearls” for beauty – and voila! Happy sailing to your destinations.
- White mitten. Borrowing the idea with socks for Santa Claus, we sew the simplest satin gloves, like potholders for a frying pan, only thin and small. We embroider with rhinestones, mini-flowers and other decorative elements. Inside we put scrolls with the text “We entrust to your kind hands the atmosphere of our most important thing, you are invited to a wedding there and at such and such a time.”
- Unexpected sweetness. A simple and yet brilliant idea - personalized cupcakes with hearts. We buy these mini-cakes, include invitations and send them to our friends. The only negative: this option is suitable only for residents of one city.
- Thanks for the chocolate. Having purchased good chocolate in bulk, you can remove the factory wrapper from it and replace it with the image of your happy couple and the date and location of the wedding.
- Adorable bags. Organza came to us from the East, but was loved by all countries of the world. For original invitations, just buy a few meters of organza and sew small bags. The costs are minimal, but how much delight the iridescent fabric causes!
- Sweets with a surprise. You can buy multi-colored gift wrapping and decorate the invitations like funny candies, tying the ends with bows.
- A huge heart is enough for everyone. Option for needlewomen: Thick fabric such as felt is bought, marked and cut in the form of a puzzle, a word is embroidered on each of them, and as a result a whole inscription or picture is made. This is a fun game for adults! Such a heart can be placed at the entrance on a large table, and each guest will have to bring a piece to create a whole composition.
Advice! If you took a heart-puzzle as an idea for invitations, take the time to duplicate it, because one of the guests may forget or lose the invitation. Duplicates will help bring your idea to life without any incidents.

Quilling
This is the art of decorating something using paper strips. The whole secret lies in twisting them in a certain way.
You will need:
- two sheets of paper - thick and thin;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- glue;
- stationery scissors;
- pencil;
- colored paper;
- quilling tool;
- half beads;
- satin ribbon.
Advice! It is much more convenient to buy a ready-made quilling kit than to assemble it yourself in parts.
Progress:
- We cut thin identical strips, about 15 pieces for each of the cards. We roll them into “rolls” using a quilling tool. We fix one end and wrap the second one around the tool. Secure the free edge with glue.
- At the same time, we glue colored paper for the background onto hard paper, attach flowers to the card, and make leaves. If the finished “roll” is flattened on both sides, you get a sheet.
- We attach beads to the center of the flowers, roll a bow from a satin ribbon and glue it too. You can further decorate it with additional details to your liking.
- There is a simpler, but no less beautiful option. We draw a branch on the sheet, frame it with braid along the contour, twist the hearts, fasten it and get a branch with wedding hearts.
