Designing your own wedding invitations can be one of the most rewarding parts of planning your big day — when it’s done right. The key is knowing where to start (and what to skip) so your stationery looks professionally designed, without the overwhelm.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to creating beautiful DIY wedding invitations you’ll be proud to send out.
1. Start with a Professional Template
Instead of designing from scratch, use a professionally made DIY template. It takes care of the layout, typography, and proportions for you — meaning you just personalise it with your details.
✨ Tip: Evently Co’s DIY wedding invitation bundles come with everything you need — from invitations and save-the-dates to signage, menus, and more — all editable in Canva. Shop now.
2. Customise Your Design
Once your template is open, play with your details, fonts, and colours. Keep it simple and cohesive — stick to two fonts and two or three colours that reflect your wedding palette.
Need inspiration? Think soft neutrals for timeless elegance or bold florals for a romantic, modern vibe.
3. Choose the Right Printing Option
You can print your invitations at home for full control, or through a professional printer for that crisp, premium finish. Most local printers (and many online ones) accept Canva files, making it easy to get a beautiful result.
4. Always Order a Few Extras
It’s better to have a handful of spares than realise you’re short one invitation. Extras are perfect for keepsakes, flat-lays, or any last-minute guest list changes.
5. Make It Yours
Add a few personal touches — envelope liners, wax seals, or ribbons — to bring your stationery to life. It’s these little details that make your DIY invitations look truly custom.
