Having a DIY wedding is one of the top ways to save a lot of money on your wedding day. Do-it-yourself projects can be just as beautiful and functional as their more expensive counterparts but at a fraction of the cost. Creating elements of your wedding together with your fiancé can become a treasured memory as well as a huge cost savings!

DIY Save the Date Magnets

Start saving money with the very first purchase for your wedding day-your Save the Date announcement. In the past, you needed to place a special order at a specialty printer in order to print save the date magnets or announcements. Now you can print them yourself on your home computer. Complete kits for DIY save the date wedding magnets allow you to personalize the date, colors and images on professional looking magnets.

DIY Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations can easily be created on your own without sacrificing quality. Today’s wedding invitation kits feature quality papers and unique embellishments, resulting in professional looking invitations. Even the response cards and return envelopes are included in the do it yourself kits.

Add an even more personal touch by having a custom monogram stamp created so you can make your own envelope seals, note cards or thank you notes.

Tip: If you don’t have a quality printer at home, you can design your wedding stationary at home and then have a copy shop print it for you.

DIY Favors

Wedding favors are easy to make yourself because they are a gift from the heart. If you choose a ready-made wedding favor, you can personalize it to your wedding theme or even to each individual guest. By adding ribbon, a printed label or card can increase the perceived value of your wedding favors without breaking the bank.

DIY Wedding Programs

Wedding programs can represent another large chunk of cash out of your wedding budget. But if you print your own, you can pocket the tremendous savings. DIY wedding program kits include quality cardstock or cover stock papers, a template and often embellishments such as ribbons.

Printed on your home computer (or at a quick print shop), they can be personalized and designed to reflect your style and wording.

DIY weddings are just as elegant as traditional, more costly weddings. Only you and your fiancé will know the corners you cut. And you can enjoy spending the money saved on a spectacular honeymoon!
