ReplyIf 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.
ReplyOnce 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.

Happy DIYing!!
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.

ReplyThe truth is that black is a sexy and mysterious color that goes with any person’s skin coloring. This makes it an excellent choice for bridal wear.
