Making your own wedding stationery is a  lovely idea for you to showcase your artistic talents and get exactly the look you want whilst saving some money, but unless you take the time to design them properly it can end up costing you even more than it would to buy from a stationer and you could end up with invitations that look like something the local infant school have produced.  The biggest mistake people make is to add nearly every embellishment they like on the card because they can’t decide the exact look they want.  The best thing to do is sketch down an idea for what you would like and colour schemes you fancy, then look at other handmade stationers to see which designs catch your eye.  There are lots of art and craft shops about and many online shops who will have ready to make designs if you don’t feel you can design them yourself.  The Wedding Crafter is a good example who produce both design packs and individual items.  The rhinestone ribbon buckle above is £1.85 and would look simple and stunning on a ribbon colour of your choice wrapped around a tent card.  You could then either write the word wedding or your names is silver gel pen or use peel off stickers saying wedding, depending on how artistic you are.  For an extra touch of sparkle you could add three diamante embellishments (£1.25 for a pack of about 36) in one top corner.
