You do not have to be a genius to make a beautiful wedding invitation and everybody knows if you do it yourself then you are going to not only save money but you will also be guaranteed that you will get exactly what you want. Modern printers are capable of printing out photo like quality on paper and on cardboard and all the patterns and wording that you can imagine can be found on the internet. DIY tri-fold wedding invitations are easy to make however getting the folds just right can take a little practice so perhaps you should print of a few extra copies to make sure.

Making the first fold is the important one so that the header for your invitation goes to the front and then the other information is inside the folds. Make sure that you put all the information that is needed on the invitation so that firstly your guests know when and where they need to go, naturally whose wedding it is and what dress codes there are for the function.

A map to the venue is often a good idea however this can be slipped into the invitation on a separate piece of paper so that the glamour of the invitation is not reduced. Placing a photo of the happy couple on the front cover of the invitation to be is also a great idea and never underestimate the appeal of a hand written invitation which gives of that personal touch.
