Do you want to make your wedding invitations by hand? Whether you're looking to create handmade wedding invitations to add your own personal style or to make them unique from all the rest, there are several ways you can accomplish your goal. Learn add embellishments to invitations you print at home, use rubber stamps to add flair and make your own flower pressed paper.
Print and Embellish
If you don't want to make your own paper or card stock, you always have the option of buying printable invitations that you can print on your home computer or use calligraphy to handwrite the invitation verses. Then, you can add embellishments such as ribbons, bows, jewel accents, pressed flowers or other decorations you can find at any major craft or stationery store.
Rubber Stamps
You can easily pick up some beautiful rubber stamps and stamp pads at your local craft store and use them to create your own wedding invitations. Add rubber stamp images to dress up a printed invitation or as a way to start an invitation from scratch. Use rubber stamps in addition to ribbons, bows and other accents.
Make Flower Pressed Paper
Whether you grow your own flower garden or you see pretty flowers that you pick along the way, it's easy to press these flowers and then use the pressed flowers to create your own wedding invitations. When you find a flower you think is pretty, pick it and remove the flower from the stem. Place the flower between two sheets of waxed paper (that you can buy at any grocery store) under a heavy book, such as a dictionary or other large reference book. The book has to be heavy enough to press the flower down. Leave the flower under the weight of the book for a couple of weeks. When you remove the flower, you can now glue it to any wedding invitation as a decoration or embellishment.
