DIY Invitations for the Crafty Bride

So, you have a bazillion ideas about how you want your invitations to 'look'.

But alas, you have no time for a crash course in Graphic Design.

You seek to save some dough, and get that handmade look.

Here's a great new vendor source : A Crafty Bride

Their motto :: We Design. You Print.

2 friends {who just happened to graduate from the Art Institute here in Seattle} saw the need for fantastic design, but with DIY assembly.

For $300, you will receive a printable design {pdf file} for your invitation, rsvp, one enclosure and a thank you.

Brides will need a good printer, a paper cutter {an x-acto knife + ruler always worked for me}, and any embellishments they might want to add.

Obviously, this also allows Brides to print their invitations at a shop too.

It's completely up to you!
