How to make wedding invitations? I want the hand drawn look
Do you want to create your own wedding invitations to achieve that stunning hand drawn look?

We all want something elegant, unique – something that is bursting with our personality. Handmade wedding invitations aren’t your only option. You could search for wedding invitations with a calligraphy style font or invites that have been hand drawn by a designer and printed digitally on beautiful high quality paper.

Get a couple of friends together, lay out the snacks and organise your production line! Why not make a fun night of it?

What if I’m on a budget?
If you’ve been considering print at home wedding invitations but are a bit intimidated at the idea of a DIY project involving the biggest day of your life, why not try another option? Free online wedding invitations don’t have to mean weeks of stress for you, but it also doesn’t mean you’re stuck with online-only wedding invitations (we personally think they’re no competition for real-life, on-paper, 3d wedding invitations, what do you think?!). Print your own wedding invitations kits can seem great at first, and while they can turn out really well, just make sure you know what you’re getting into before jumping in. Do your research on the kind of printer (and how much ink) these designs require to look quality. Think about the number of invitations you need to print, as well as other cards in the invitation suite like RSVP, menu cards and an order of service. Do you want to order your thank you cards now too, so you can continue the matching theme? If so, that’s more ink. Looking up a video on how to print your own wedding invitations first might be a good idea to give yourself an overview of the process. After gathering some information, decide if you still want to go DIY style.
If it sounds like too much and you’d like to try the other option, at Paperlust we offer affordable wedding invitations that are designed to look like handwritten wedding invitations. Choose a design with a calligraphy style font and be on the lookout for designs that say ‘digital print’, as these give you the best bang for your buck. Unless you are going for ecard invites, being able to create free wedding invitations online is basically a myth, because you always have to pay for printing and materials, and organising it yourself can be a headache.
At Paperlust we have all the nitty gritty details under control.
