We are now offering printable templates for making handmade invitations. It's a fast and easy solution to affordable and easy handmade invitations in the comfort of your own home.
To use them simply highlight the text in the template and change it to your own. You can change the wording, font, size, and even colors of the text. Print them on your home computer printer, trim them, and then pop them in an envelope and in the mail.
For extra special invitations you can attach them to a fancy card stock backing, and add ribbon, charms, or glitter and rhinestones. Get creative!
