Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
A very good idea to opt for :) but u have to go for the design that u may make in bulk like abt 200-300 as per ur guest list, and bring in teh uniformity among all at the same time
Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
I think before you decide to make your own card you should keep in mind that you ll have to make a LOT of cards, and unless you have some experience in that kind of handiwork there is a chance they might not all come out looking the same or have that finish that professionally made cards have.
But if you really want to get your hands in it i would think doing the mehndi cards by yourself would be a better idea.you can follow the theme if you have one and do whatever you want with them :) assuming it will be all colors and glitter since its mehndi cards, you are likely to have more fun with them then the barat invitations :) have you decided on the colors and materials?
Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
im sure its not going to be 200-300 wedding cards.. it will be around 100 or maybe less (^^) because i dont want a big wedding ceremony either do my parents ;D only family and really close friends will be invited xD
i really love to do handiwork (^^) its therefor im thinking to made my own wedding cards (^^) yess i have decided colours and materials im looking around to find everything in a good prize (^^)
here is the card im thinking to made:
the cover: will be like this
Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
but before i decided i think im going to made one of this to see how it turn out :)
Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
Teri Nazar that is soooo cute :) and not entirely too hard to make since you mentioned you like doing crafty stuff. how are you going to go about it? if i am guessing right,u ll just have to draw the right sized and shaped butterfly on a piece of thick card and then trace that on the material you are going to use,hana?
Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
Are you keeping the mehndi invitation white too?
Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
My sis has made invitations for family weddings and I've helped her out from time to time. Even if you make a simple card, there will probably be lots of cutting, folding and glueing needed, so I would advise you get your family/friends involved (providing you trust that they will do it neatly!) and do it like a production line where each person has one "job"

thnkx for the info (^^) do u have a pic of it if u could share with me (^^)
Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
What shade of pink are you going to use? lighter shades of pink have always seem too valima-esque to me idk why 
if i ever gather up the courage to do my own wedding invitations and i had to keep the barat invitation white, i ll go for a vibrant shade of pink.even though all pinks will look lovely with white
and i would LOVE to see the first draft

Re: Homemade wedding invitation cards???
I created my mehndi invites from scratch (printing/decorating). For wedding, I bought the blank cards and printed them myself.

Instead of drawing, get a puncher or a die cut. It will be easy to cut the butterfly shape.
