I’m a hippy at heart. When you look through the invitation collections here at Download & Print I think you’ll find designs that appeal to just about everyone’s taste. I try to design with you in mind, and you like everything from flowers to vintage, all the colors in the rainbow, and are having beach […]

Fonts can make or break an invitation, particularly in today’s era of typography heavy designs. For your viewing pleasure I’ve put together my favorite invitation fonts, grouped into three collections: Vintage, Handwritten and Script. Typically I like to use two fonts on an invitation, the exception to the rule being on vintage designs were you’ll […]

I’m calling this a pocket invitation though technically it doesn’t have a “pocket” for your invitation to slide into. Let me roll with it though as this is hands down the most inexpensive way you can get the pocket look for your wedding announcements. I’ve showed you how to make pockets and pochettes before, but […]

This week’s DIY is another modern take on a traditional invitation formality. I’ve talked before about inner and outer envelopes, the inner envelope is used to address the specific invitees in a more casual manner, while the outer envelope will be addressed formally and could be sent to a household. See the tutorial on my […]

I feel like it’s time to throw in a masculine project. With all the bows, lace, and gilding of late I’m not doing justice to half the engaged couples out there (that is the soon-to-be-grooms). I’ve come up with a felt pouch to wrap your invitation loveliness in. I chose to go with an industrial […]

I’ve committed to producing 52 projects this year, one each Wednesday. It’s a lofty goal. I have to find inspiration when inspiration is lacking. Some projects I like better than others. In fact, some projects are not really my style at all, but since I’m producing these for you and your varied likes and dislikes […]

Sugar and spice and all things nice. That’s how I’d describe this bridal shower invitation. It has the sweetest sculptured wedding dress, you can skip down below to see how easy this is to make. The invitation is simple, giving the dress room to shine. The dress is raised up from the invitation using stick-on […]

Doilies have moved so far beyond grandma’s house, I don’t even think they are in the same neighborhood any longer. Today I’m showing you why you should move doilies off the table and into your wedding envelopes. The short answer is… because it’s so pretty! This DIY envelope liner is a quick and inexpensive way […]

Wow. Do I have a doozy of a DIY for you today. It’s unique, sophisticated, so so pretty, and really easy to put together. Sometimes in life you just nail it. That’s today’s DIY. I want to shout from the top of a mountain, “Look at this!”. I know, I know… it’s “just” a wedding […]

Hola! Lisa here. Anna is taking the week to recharge so I get the pleasure of taking over Wedding Wednesday. Anna will be back next week to share another gorgeous wedding project with you (and I’ll give you a hint, it involves lace and pearls, oh my…). I’ve decided to go with a very un-weddingish […]

DIY weddings are often thought of as colorful and whimsical, and around here we love these type of ‘love conquers all’ celebrations. If you have your heart set on a magical day steeped in formality and tradition, there’s no reason you can’t jump on the DIY bus too! Don’t mistake DIY for quirky. And we […]

Almost two years ago I created a little DIY for a vintage “wrought iron” wedding invitation. Immediately it became wildly popular. It is the most viewed DIY at Download & Print, it’s my most watched video on YouTube, and it’s the post I get the most questions about. However, right about the time I was […]

I’m no stranger to paper flower crafts, having delved in with these giant paper roses which have proven to be quite a hit on YouTube. Today I’m back with another paper flower. It’s much smaller, very pretty, and this time made from crepe paper. The crepe paper is fun to work with as it stretches […]

Invitations are the pièce de résistance when it comes to sending out your wedding details, but envelopes are the opening act. I love a thoughtful envelope that ties in with the invitation theme. Around here I’ve talked a lot about envelope liners, either using the coordinating liner that comes with each Download & Print invitation […]

Do you remember from a couple weeks back when I confessed to having a huge wrapping paper stash? Well… I have another confession to make. My wrapping paper stash is nothing compared with my fabric stash. I’ve accumulated a small haberdashery store’s worth of fabric over the years because I never measure before heading to […]

Today’s project is in honor of the smell of coconuts, rolling waves, and sand between your toes. Think of it as a mini island getaway right here at your computer… though probably without any of the beachy images I just conjured up. I know, I know, not the ideal getaway, but if you’re reading this […]

Today’s project features the ever popular Mason jar. I’m not a canner, but thanks to the vintage revival Mason jars are now ubiquitous with crafters the world over. I have a soft spot for the glass jar with the screw top lid that Mr. Mason patented in 1858. It’s just so darn versatile. I have […]

Last week I gave you a sweet and quick paper heart belly band for your whimsical invitations. Today, I will be the first to admit that the project does not fall into the quick category. It does however fall into the easy basket. There’s nothing hard about this botanical letter, just fold, glue, repeat. The […]
