Pretty and Printable

We're often asked how a bride on a budget (99.9% of us) can make the most of her resources - where to splurge and where to save. Well, one item we always suggest saving on is the invitation. It is such an important part of the wedding as it sets the tone for what can be expected by your guests. However, it is also an item that you can easily DIY and still make it unique and fabulous. There are some gorgeous printable and customisable invitations available for free (yay!) on the web and we just love this one from our fave, Nonpareil Magazine.

You can download the templates here (available in four colourways - combinations of lemon, blue, mint and raspberry), included are invite, thank-you note and envelope liner. Then we just love the touch of the fabric invite wrap (imagine the possibilities of colours and patterns!) with ribbon and sticker.

How have you saved on your bridal budget? We'd love to hear from you.
