In today’s economy, DIY wedding invitations are a cost effective, creative, and fun option. Almost everyone has used a word processing program and has printed documents at home, and once you’ve read LCI Paper’s Printing Your Own Invitations guide, you’ll find that you have the tools, information, and resources you need to print your own wedding invitations! Let’s walk through the steps from start to finish.

Choose Your Wedding Invitations

Many of our customers tell us they enjoy browsing through our wedding invitations, looking at the different styles, and getting a better understanding of their options. We offer everything from traditional Calla Lily invitations to unique invitation ideas like Pocket Fold kits and Tuxedo kits. We invite you to spend time clicking through the different categories as you find those special invitation designs that “click” with you!

Order Samples

Without seeing invitations in person and getting a feel for their quality, it’s hard to have confidence in ordering online. That’s why all of our invitations can be purchased as single samples. You can see the colors of the cards and the designs in person instead of on your computer monitor. This also gives you the opportunity to test print at home. On any particular product page, order a sample by clicking the “Order Samples” link or tab as shown below:

Download Printing Template

Microsoft Word printing templates are formatted for particular items and are available for download on each product page. Look for the “Print Template” download link as shown below:

More templates are being added daily, but if a template download link does not appear on a certain product page, request it by clicking the Ask us a question link. We’ll be happy to create the template and make it available.

Our printing templates come with support files to walk you through the invitation printing process. To learn more, watch our video on how to download and use printing templates.

Customize Your Invitation Layout

Open the invitation template in Word and you will see sample invitation wording and a layout that you can alter for your specific event. Change the text to that of your event, making sure the names, dates, locations, and other important details are correct.

Now you can be creative and change the font and font sizes. The screen shot to the right shows a casual looking font called Angelina. We think it makes an invitation look more fun and less formal. Consider your event and the mood you want to convey in your invitation, then choose a font that will help you portray it. Arrange the wording on your screen to reflect exactly how you’d like to see it printed on your invitation card. When you are finished with your invitation wording and you’re happy with the layout, you are ready to set up the printer.
