DIY: Make a custom envelope liner

A simple way to add immediate pizzazz to your invitation suite is the envelope liner. It’s quick, easy and here, it’s FREE! Just download the templates here and use the steps below to create a unique wedding surprise for your invitees.

Supplies: Paper cutter or scissors, templates (download here: envelope liners), double-sided stick tape or glue stick, envelopes

Step 1: Print off your template pattern

Step 2: Cut off the white edges.

Step 3: Measure the size of your envelope and cut about 1/16″ smaller to the shape. You don’t need to go all the way down to the bottom as that will just add extra bulk.

Step 4: Put down the tape and secure the liner to the tape.

Step 5: Crease the liner to the crease of the envelope.

Voila! You’re done! It’s so easy and perfect for making a great impression!

Memory cloth

I saw this project in October’s Living Etc and thought it would make a great keepsake for engaged couples…it would probably be more manageable for a bridal shower, where guests could share their words of wisdom.

DIY Save the Date: Rachel + Nick

Rachel from Bright Fizz Photo sent me the save the date she and her fiance made as their save the date…pretty easy and cute to boot!

Sooo, if anyone’s got some cool DIY save the dates, send them over…maybe we’ll have enough for another save the date week?  And this time, when sending the photos, if you could include HOW you made it, that would be a help for everyone!  Looking forward to seeing what you guys have got!

Invitations: Nicole + Jerome

Nicole and her husband Jerome designed these invitation booklets last year for their wedding…very cool right?  She tells me the printing was relatively cheap from Dazzle Printing, so if anyone else has worked with them, lemme know how they were!
