Your wedding ceremony is going to be one of the most transformational experiences of your lifetime. Many brides (and grooms too 
) dream about and plan their wedding day years in advance, even if they are not yet sure who their special someone will be.
In an effort to make weddings more personalized and special, many brides are turning to the powers of Do It Yourself (DIY). This added experience of creating intimate aspects of your wedding celebration and ceremony add an extra special zeal to the occasion. From wedding favors to flower arrangements, table decorations to invitation sets, the powers and possibilities of Doing it Yourself are limitless.
While I certainly do love flowers, and unique favors and table arrangements are always a favorite of mine, I am here to tell you how easy and amazing adding personalized touches to your wedding invitations is.
We recently created a video that demonstrates the step by step process to measure and cut your own wedding invitation envelope liners. For those of you that would rather read the instructions, or do not have speakers, I have included a short description of the procedure. Enjoy:
After clearing a space to work on, place one of the envelopes you eventually intend to have inserted onto a safe cutting surface.
Using a straight edge and art knife trim off 1/8th of an inch from each side of the envelope. This is the part where you need to be careful.
Then cut off 1/8th of an inch from both the edges of the envelope flap that have the adhesive.
Now you have your liner template. You can use this to cut as many additional liners as needed.
Remember, if you are going to cut a large quantity (50+) it may help to either cut a template from cardstock or ask your local printer to use their industrial cutter. Depending on the project, one of these two options can end up saving you a lot of time.
Once you are done cutting your liners, you may want to consider viewing this instructional video detailing the proper way to insert an envelope liner.
Thanks for watching!
