Paper Projects!
Save-the-Date Cards!
My first completed DIY project!!
I designed our save-the-date cards in MS Publisher. I will have them printed and mailed out around the end of September or beginning of October for our July 2011 wedding. I am very lucky and able to use the printing department at my work. Printing cost for 65 cards with return addresses and mailing address total $8.34.
*** Since the design of our STD's our wedding colors have changed a little. We originally thought we would go with blue but ended up going more with a bluish-green / tealness.
Invites!
Because we have a lot of OOT guest we knew we need to include lots of information with our invites. This prompted me to looking into pocketfold invites, however the cost to purchase them was just to much. I decided that I could DIY panel pocket invites and they would work just as well. A panel pocket has a place to adhere the invite to the front and then a pocket in the back for the inserts and RSVP card.
I used a single 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper for each pocketfold purchased during Hobby Lobby's 50% of sale. I simply measured and scored each piece and then folded the extra over the back. I attached the pocketfold at the top and bottom with double sided tape (worked way better than glue dots). I added a ribbon to break up the color a bit.

Ceremony Programs
I created our ceremony programs using Publisher. It was a tri-fold single 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper. It was simply but served its purpose. We print them on a simple white cardstock.

I've included a PDF version of our completed program and a template. I've also included the Publisher file if you would like to edit it for your own use.
If you are planning a Catholic wedding outside of mass I suggest you take at the information I have to help make that process as easy as possible. CLICK HERE TO VIEW |
