DIY is where budget savvy couples find their biggest wins, and Cricut is the machine that makes most of those wins possible. Right now there are savings running across machines, vinyl, papers, Infusible Ink, and blanks, including up to 50% off select supplies and the Cricut Maker 4 marked down to $379.
If you have been on the fence about whether a cutting machine is worth it for one wedding, run the numbers on signage alone. Custom welcome signs, seating charts, bar menus, table numbers, and directional signs quoted from a vendor add up fast. Making them yourself with a blank from the craft store and a roll of vinyl usually lands somewhere under a fifth of that, and you own the machine afterward.
The projects we see couples get the most mileage out of are the small personalized touches. Vinyl decals on hurricane vases and candle holders for the centerpieces. Names on champagne flutes for the bridal party. Custom labels for favor bags, welcome bags, and the hotel snack boxes. Cake toppers cut from acrylic or wood. Iron on designs for getting ready robes, groomsmen shirts, and the tote bags nobody plans for until two weeks out. Place cards and escort cards in a font that actually matches your invitations instead of whatever the printer had on file.
Infusible Ink and blanks are the pieces worth grabbing when they go on sale, because that is the line that gives you the professional looking permanent finish on coasters, mugs, and shirts. Vinyl and cardstock are the workhorses. If you are new to this, start with a single sign and a roll of removable vinyl before you invest in the full supply cabinet.
A word of encouragement for anyone intimidated by the software: the project library is full of ready made wedding templates, so you do not have to design from scratch to get something that looks intentional. These promotions run through August 29 across different product groups. Shop the sale at Cricut, and no code is needed since the savings are already reflected.
