DIY Invitation Supplies & Templates

How to Order Supplies for DIY Layered Invitations:

1. Select Heavyweight Wedding Paper Background Cards

Our layered invitations start with premium heavyweight wedding paper cards available in a variety of the colors, patterns and textures. Cards are 5.125″x7″ and are pre-cut to fit in A7 invitation envelopes. They are generally too thick to print on directly using most printers and require an opaque or translucent overlay to print on, sold separately.

2. Choose Opaque or Translucent Printable Invitation Overlays

The blank invitation overlays are inkjet/laser/copier compatible, we recommend a laser or copier for durability. The 4.25″x5.5″ overlays are sold uncut in standard 8.5×11 sheets. The standard sized sheet makes printing easy using our free wedding invitation template for Word. After printing you will need a paper trimmer to cut the sheets into four overlays. Order one overlay per invitation, we will calculate and send the correct number of sheets, for example if you order 100 overlays, we will send (25) 8.5×11 sheets.

3. Select Invitation Embellishments

Unique invitation embellishments are used to personalize and to add unexpected texture and interest. Select from our extensive collection of distinctive adornments including decorative brads, embossed paper flowers, metal charms, natural lokta cord, metallic cording, glass beads, skeleton leaves, ribbon, fine paper sashes, silk flowers, feathers or tassels.

4. Add Invitation Envelopes, Tools, Adhesives, Clip Art

Our invitation envelopes are made from 100% recycled 80# text weight (typical envelopes are a thinner 70#). We also offer tools for DIY invitations including a paper trimmer, micro hole punch and ultra-thin glue dots. Vintage clip art books are also available with CD containing scanned images at 600dpi.
