If you're on a budge and you're in a hurry, there is this great company...http://idoweddingmaps.com/. They design your wedding maps for you and turn them around in seriously like 48 hours.
Once I received them, I added my own little twist by using my scrapbooking scissors to decorate the map edges and then laminated them, punched a hole, and tied a little bow through it. I thought it was a nice touch, because then it's not just like some paper to be thrown away and guests will probably save them. I couldn't believe how fast and cheap http://idoweddingmaps.com/ was.

I have been looking for some ways to make the wedding invitations but the DIY isn't really for me, but my gf is really good with DIY. I got myself a DVD invitation letter instead. I got that idea from Silver Screen Invites and they can have my DVD done with a lot of customization.

I made some fantastic wedding invitations by simply mounting white pearlised card on black card and I wrapped some black ribbon around one end of the white pearlised card. They were simple but really stunning, got all my card and ribbon from Paper Mill Direct.

Bought
1 x pack pearlised card (white)
1 x pick n mix card and paper box (black)
1 x roll of black ribbon
Paper mill were really good value and I think I made all my invitations, rsvps for about a tenner. Going to start on the order of service now.
