Create your own Wedding Stationery with hints & tips

How to make your own beautiful stationery with Crafty Chez designs



If you want to make your own stationery (whether you have a creative streak or want to save money)

I will personalise certain items for you,

however if you want them blank like the invitation insert just let me know


If you're on a tight budget this is a great way of creating your own stationery - you can just print & cut out or you can embellish your stationery if you wish.

Printing your own stationery means you can print as many as you want whether it be 10, 100 or 200 - the choice is yours








Tip #1 - Choose your card to print your stationery

  1. To print your stationery on always choose a white/ cream/ Ivory colour for the design & writing to stand out (if you choose a dark or bright colour your design & writing will not stand out and disappear into the background of the card)

  2. Choose a plain card or for that more luxurious feeling choose a pearlescent or textured card stock (print on cardstock approx 200gsm)

  3. If your printer won't take card (as some don't) just print on paper but make sure good quality, I recommend approx 120gsm

  4. This is the company I use for stationery & it's really good quaility https://www.thepaperbox.co.uk/paper-card/


Tip #2 - choose background card


  1. Choose it your having a flat invitation or as a card with the invitation inside the card

  2. Choose your colour, maybe to match the theme e.g Sunflower stationery do you want a yellow card or maybe a black/ brown or maybe a blue to make the stationery pop out.

  3. Do you want a pocket fold?

  4. Here's a link for the card/ invitation pocketfolds etc https://www.thepaperbox.co.uk/paper-card/


Tip #3 - personalised Service

Parts of your stationery, I can personalise for you - all I would need is the relevant information & I will the contact you via email to ask if it's ok or you want any changes - once you've approved it, I will send you the in relevant stationery via email & you can then print as many times as you wish




Tip #4 Embellishments


If you want to, you can add your own embellishments

  • Ribbon

  • Ribbon Bows

  • Diamante

  • Glitter

  • 3D Embellishment

of course with my designs you can just print and stick to card if you wish - its your choice





Tip #5 - Adhesive



There's a variety of adhesives on the market - you may have your own favourites

These are items I recommend

  • Foam Tape/ squares can get from a variety of online craft stores, I buy mine from The Works

  • Quickie Glue Pen - great for small areas of glitter

  • Glue I recommend Construction Glue from Hunkydory Crafts

  • I always prefer a wet glue, as you have time time wiggle your card in place



Remember to have fun


Have some fun creating your wedding stationery, maybe get a couple of family members/ friends to help and enjoy creating your wedding stationery

Take time doing this - don't rush it (your more than likely to get stressed with it all and end up rushing it)
