The modern, open font creates a contemporary feel and butterflies up the side soften the look a little. The insert is then covered with a vellum paper wrap and finished off with a co-ordinating bow.
This year, butterflies are a really popular theme. Not surprising really as they often symbolise new life, new hope and new dreams. Perfect for weddings!
This particular style is designed to be a one page card with a vellum wrap secured with a colour co-ordinated ribbon. The templates come in two sizes: 8cm x 19.7cm or 3” x 8”.
Level of ease: Really easy
Cost: Around £50 ($90) for 50 invitations
For each card, you’ll need:
- Card cut to size of the template you choose
- Vellum cut to allow a 4cm overlap for your chosen template
- 45cm ribbon
- Colour printer
Before you start!
I would strongly recommend doing a trial run of your DIY wedding invitation to find what card and vellum you prefer. Once you’ve found a paper and card that you like, buy enough for all your invites. Get the paper and card cut to size by a copy shop – this will give you a professional finish and save you a lot of time.

Warning!
This invitation uses a special font called AvantGarde Bk BT. You can download it for free here (this will open in a new window and you’ll need scroll down the page a little to see it). Save it into your fonts folder on your computer. If you don’t know how to do this, then these instructions will help.
Each printable invitation comes as a Microsoft Word document. You’ll need to amend the wording to reflect your own wedding and then print them out on your chosen, pre-cut paper.
Tips:
• Do a trial run to find the card and vellum paper you like
• Try buying an economy or bumper pack of card blanks and envelopes. You can then cut these in half to make the one page card!
• Get the card and vellum cut to size by a professional
• Print out the invite section using the high quality setting on your printer
