DIY Wedding Invitations…this is what I did this weekend. I even recruited a few helpers. The guys worked the paper cutters and were very happy that Kayla cut the ribbon:) For some reason, the guys HATE cutting ribbon…they tell me they charge extra for that job. LOL! Maybe it’s because they prefer working with tools. If I need mass paper cutting done or anything cut with the Big Shot, they’re more than willing to help out.

After all the cutting preparation comes stamping the pieces. Edgar agreed to stamp the hardwood background on all the front panels. It was a little challenging to get it straight, and he is a perfectionist, so he was concentrating pretty hard. He got into the groove and didn’t talk until he was done. Pretty funny.

Final stage…assembling them. I love it when brides see the invitation in print for the first time … it suddenly becomes real. They are indeed getting married…it’s official:)

With the completion of these DIY wedding invitations, we are officially invited to 5 weddings this summer. Last year, we had 5 as well! This is simply the season we are in. Last summer was a little busy to say the least, because one of those five was our daughter’s.

For 9 months straight, our house was wedding central! Every time her fiance came over, we put him to work. He got to be very good with a hot glue gun:) We probably made 160 fabric flowers that were pinned onto burlap panels to hang behind the head table. Thank goodness for the Big Shot and flower dies to crank out all those flowers!! We were actually able to cut 4 layers of wedding fabric at a time.

Banner dies also came in handy for all kinds of signs…
