Essential Paper Items! A Collection of DIY Wedding Invitation Designs by Real Brides♡

I Will Make My Own Invitations!

There are so many paper items to prepare before the wedding, such as profile books, seating charts, place cards, and menus. Among them, the item that needs to be tackled first is the **invitations**♡

The **invitations** are mailed to each guest's home about 2-3 months before the wedding＊

Recently, more people are ordering and purchasing from wedding item specialty stores or handmade creators to save time...

But there must be many brides who say, “I will DIY my invitations from scratch!” ♡

The warmth of **handmade invitations** unique to DIY allows you to create a one-of-a-kind design that fits the theme of your wedding while also saving costs, which is a big attraction＊

Here are some designs of **handmade invitations** from real brides that I found on Instagram and want to reference♩

Real Bride's Handmade Invitation 1♡

The first one I will introduce is a compact postcard-sized invitation＊

It has three sheets of paper tied together with a ribbon, featuring a greeting, date and location, and instructions, with the bottom cut with a cutter to create a varied size effect on different pages. This is a clever idea♡

The design makes it easy for guests to flip through the pages and clearly see what is written on each page♩

It’s a popular design called "Jiiiru-style" among Instagram brides♡

Real Bride's Handmade Invitation 2♡

This one is a classic design in a folded type＊

So what did the bride make? Believe it or not, it’s the sunflower part on the cover! She scanned her own hand-drawn picture and printed it out♡

Don’t you think it’s wonderful that her drawing becomes the main illustration of the invitation?♩

Real Bride's Handmade Invitation 3♡

This is a simple invitation with black text on white paper＊

It’s very cute how blue and pink tulle ribbons are lightly wrapped around it for decoration♡

If the cover design of the invitation is simple, I recommend finishing it with a ribbon knot♩

The inside is also very cute; swipe to see the second photo. The date is expressed with a heart mark on a calendar, which is lovely♩

Real Bride's Handmade Invitation 4♡

I also found a handmade invitation of high quality that resembles a store-bought one＊

The bride colored the paper with acrylic paints, layered tracing paper on top, and then glued a small ribbon with a glue gun♩

The idea of layering tracing paper is charming as it allows the design and color of the paper underneath to faintly show through, creating a translucent and delicate atmosphere♡

Real Bride's Handmade Invitation 5♡

This one is an idea from a bride who sent out an invitation card with a pocket, containing the main invitation and a save-the-date＊

The cute part is that you can faintly see Duffy and ShellieMay printed on the tracing paper♡

Pocket invitations are also a popular design often seen on Instagram♩

Real Bride's Handmade Invitation 6♡

Finally, I will introduce the handmade invitation from a bride who had a traditional Japanese wedding＊

Several fan-shaped papers are bound together with eyelets, giving the appearance of a traditional folding fan or uchiwa♩

The large red tassel adds a stylish Japanese touch!

Guests are sure to feel excited upon receiving such a wonderful invitation＊
