Block print wedding invitation

I've talked a lot about wanting custom wedding invitations. It's one of the few areas where I would want to spend money. And yet, given my background in art and design, it also feels like an area where I should go DIY.

I originally had my heart set on letterpress, one thing I can't quite DIY all by my lonesome; however, once I thought about doing block prints instead, everything clicked into place.

How perfect to have original artwork for the invitations! And block prints I can totally do myself.

I've shown a few different block prints here as inspiration!

Of course this last one would have to be two birdies. Love the red breast (heart).

Forever

I posted this on my blog Dabble a while back, but in searching for some invitation options, I ran across it again tonight. These are prints rather than cards or invitations however.

Some Etsy artists take custom requests. I think it'd be really fun to do a print with one of the quotes I've posted previously.

But I also think that art work is a great gift for a wedding. Unique and memorable.
Prints available from Amelia Mae on Etsy.

Chinatown invitations

Love the art on these invites from bird and banner. And the story is quite romantic in its own right!

it's all in the details

I love the hand-stitched binding on these programs above. It's the perfect DIY wedding project for me.

The Boston skyline invites (WITH the Citgo sign!) and all the other yellow-themed touches have definitely got me inspired for my own yummy yellow wedding.
