If your special wedding day is quickly approaching, and one of the only things you have left is to order the wedding invitations, you may be like most excited brides and are searching all over for the best kind of wedding invitation.  You may want a wedding invitation that is beautiful, classy, and elegant, as well as shows your personal styles.  Perhaps you are an outdoorsy couple, and are looking for an invitation which features outdoor scenes.  Or for instance, if you both have a special hobby together, such as stamp collecting you may wish to find an invitation that features a whimsical border of stamps surrounding your announcement.  The point is, the wedding invitations are one of the easiest areas to showcase your individual styles.

If you are having a hard time finding a wedding invitation you both can agree on, why not consider doing something different?  Hand-made wedding invitations are becoming very popular when it comes to inviting your closest friends and family to your wedding day, and are without a doubt the easiest way to show everyone your individuality.

One of the main attractions to making your own hand-made wedding invitations are that you are virtually able to make any sort of invitation you can think of.  You can go as simple as plain card stock, an image program found on your computer, and a desk top printer.  Or, you can go even more elaborate.  Below are some ideas in which to make your invitations 100% your own.

1.Create a card that has a picture of the happy couple on the front.  This can be easily accomplished through any program on your computer.  Perhaps you had your engagement photos taken in a beautiful spot – why not feature this image on the front of your wedding invitation? Or maybe you can even feature a baby picture of you and your fiancee on the front.  Photos are a terrific way to showcase your individuality.

2.How about wedding invitations made out of completely recycled paper which you make yourselves? This could also double as a fun activity for you and your future spouse to complete one night.  There are instructions available on the internet on the ways to make your own paper, and this will undoubtedly end up being a completely unique  hand-made wedding invitation.

3.As it relates to completely unique invitations, why not consider wedding invitations which feature seedlings which you can plant?  These plantable wedding invitations can even feature a saying about how you can plant the tree in order to show that your marriage, while young and in it’s new stages, will one day grow into a large tree with some nurturing and love.  This would be a great way to both have an eco-friendly wedding invitation, as well as one that many people have not seen before.

As you can see from just the few ideas listed above, making your own wedding invitations offers endless possibilities for individuality.  The options are only limited by your imagination, and offers ways to showcase your spirit and individual style.
