This Free Pocket Fold Invitation Template set, exclusive to Budget Savvy Brides, is literally blooming at the seams. The set includes a coordinating invitation, RSVP card, and enclosure card. Oversize flowers in reds and pinks are set off by a gold pocket fold, for a high-end look without the high-end price tag. No one will guess you diy’d these… unless you strategically let it slip!

What you’ll need to make this project:

• Download Wedding Templates Here
• Microsoft Word (Mac or PC)
• 8.5 x 11 card stock
• Scissors or paper cutter
• Gold pock fold invitation (optional)
• Double sided tape (optional)

Step #1:

Download the templates and save them to your computer. You should end up with three files: The invitation, and two enclosure cards. Open the templates in Microsoft Word and add your wording. The fonts used in the example are Garamond for the main text, and Splendid is the script font, which can be downloaded for free here.

Step #2:

Print the templates on 8.5 x 11 cardstock. 67lb paper works best, and white or cream would compliment the design nicely.

Step #3:

Using scissors or a paper cutter, trim along the dotted lines. The finished size of the invitation is 5 x 7″ and fits an A7 envelope. Both enclosure cards should be trimmed to  3.5 x 5″ and fit a 4-bar envelope.

Tip: Be sure to hold the paper against the top edge of the paper cutter for straight cuts.

Step #4:

Optional: For a polished look mount the invitation to a gold pocket fold invitation and place the enclosure cards inside. Pocket folds cost approximately $1.25-2.00 each, but really give the package a high-end look. The pocket fold shown in the picture is from Marsupial Online. A less expensive option can be found at Paper and More.

Tip: The best way to adhere the invitation to the pocket is with double-sided tape. A glue stick will cause wrinkles.

You’ve said “I do”, so now it’s time to eat, drink, and be merry. Have guests proceed to their tables in a well choreographed dance with the help of these diy table numbers. With just a few basic office supplies and the free template that I created for Budget Savvy Brides, you can create these gorgeous table numbers at home. And as a bonus I’ve included the template for the coordinating holders, which will turn plain old binder clips into a piece of art.

What you’ll need to make this project:

• Printable templates (download here)
• Microsoft Word (Mac or PC)
• 8.5 x 11 card stock
• Scissors
• 1.25″ binder clips (from your local office supply store)
• Double sided tape
• Corner rounder (optional)
• Paper trimmer (optional)

Step #1:

Download the Templates and Add Your Numbers

Get the two templates for this project. Save them to your computer desktop and open in Microsoft Word. Change the table numbers as needed and print each page on 8.5 x 11 card stock.

Step #2:

Trim and Round Corners

User scissors or a paper trimmer to cut the number templates along the trim lines. Round the corners with your scissors or a corner rounder.

Step #3:

Cut Clip Wrappers

Trim the clip wrappers with your scissors or the paper trimmer.

Step #4:

Tape Wrappers to Binder Clips

Tape the binder wrappers to the clips using double sided tape. Tuck the wrapper edges under the clip edge as much as possible to give a seamless finish.

Step #5:

Assemble the Numbers and Remove the Clip Handles

Clip each number into a binder clip. Remove the clip handles by squeezing together the arms from one side and pulling them from their slots.

Hint: As the printing is a neutral gray, you can print the numbers and wrappers on colored card stock to coordinate with your wedding theme.

Making your own wedding invitations can save you a bundle and create a personal touch for the big day.  Today I’m sharing with fellow DIY brides a free printable wedding invitation template set.  This set includes matching invitation, reply card, and accommodation card templates. With basic card stock and your home printer you too can make this adorable wedding stationery set.  I designed this card with cheery blossoms and birds because they are both symbols of love and new beginnings.

What you’ll need to make this project:

• 8.5 x 11 Card Stock (I used #65 in cream)
• Microsoft Word (Mac or PC)
• Color Printer
• Paper Cutter
• A7 Envelopes (invitation)
• 4-Bar Envelopes (RSVP)

 Step #1: Download the Templates

Get the three template files for this project. Save them to your computer desktop and open in Microsoft Word.

 Step #2: Add Your Wording in Microsoft Word

Open the template files in Microsoft Word. Click inside the text boxes and type in your wedding details. You can select your favorite font and adjust text colors. I like to use a script font for the bride and grooms names and the rest in a simpler font.  The fonts I used in the example are Splendid and Trojan Pro.

 Step #3: Print on 8.5 x 11 Card Stock

Load card stock into the paper tray and print the templates. Print one of each to start and make sure you like how the final product looks. Have a second set of eyes check your spelling and event details. Nothing is worse than a bunch of invitations you can’t use!

Step #4: Trim with Paper Cutter

Using a paper trimmer, cut along the dotted lines marked on the template. Make sure to hold the paper against the top ruler edge of the trimmer for perfectly straight cuts. With a little practice you can begin to cut 3-5 sheets at once, speeding up your production time. Repeat this process for the RSVP and enclosure cards.

Step #5: Select Envelopes & Mail Out

The invitation is sized for an A7 envelope and the RSVP pairs with 4-Bar envelope. These can easy be found online in tons of colors. I think that antique gold, aqua, or rose pink envelopes would look nice with this design.

Hi, this is Anna Skye invitation template designer at Download & Print. Today I want to share with you a lovely chevron wedding invitation that you can personalize and print at home for about 30¢ each.

The graduated chevron pattern in emerald blues would be perfect for a modern beach wedding. I enjoy the feeling of suspense this invitation creates as you slide off the monogram band to reveal the event details below. Follow the step-by-step photos below to make this invitation.

Project Materials:
White 8.5 x 11 Card Stock 67lb
A7 Envelopes
Paper Trimmer
Ruler
X-acto Knife or Score Tool
Double Sided Tape.

Project Templates:
Download Invitation Template (.doc)
Download Invitation Band Template (.doc)

Step #1: Open the template files in Microsoft Word. Type in your wording and print on 8.5 x 11 Cardstock.

Step #2: Trim the invitation card along the dotted lines with a paper cutter. This will result in two 5×7 inch invitations.

Step #3: Take the printed chevron band and score the fold lines. Take a ruler and x-acto knife, blade side up, to mark the fold lines. The fold lines are indicated on the printed template. This will ensure that your band fits sung with the invitation.

Step #4: Trim the band along the dotted lines with a paper cutter. This will yield in two 3 x 10.5 inch chevrons bands.

All Cutting Done! With both invitation and band cut out it’s time to start assembling.

Step #5: Fold the band along the score lines and press the folds with your hands.

Step #6: Use double sided tape to seal the band. The pieces will overlap to hide the tape and create a fished look.

Step #7: Slip the band over the invitation and position so it’s covering all of your event wording.
Use an A7 envelope to mail this invitation to family and friends.
