DIY Tips

By Tara Mandy and Meredith Levy

Customized invitations and personal wedding websites can eat up a big chunk of your budget. And surprisingly, it's not always the letterpress papers and web hosting that rack up the bill; often it's the graphic design fees. So before you shell out to an artist, why not see what you can come up with on your own? 


DIY invitations and announcements are made super easy on Mountain Cow. There are tons of pre-fab graphics and fonts, envelope liners, and cool invitation software, plus plenty of design ideas. Martha Stewart is always a favorite for inspiration and how-tos: She has a template section on her website, for everything from menus and tags to postcards and labels. We love the DIY stationery templates you can purchase and download from etsy seller, A Little Hut. And if you're going to go it alone for your wedding website, our favorite DIY source is Wedding Window: chic, simple and affordable.
