Invitation Inspiration: Etsy

I am amazed that my invitation post that I did a year ago is still the number one post that is looked at by you readers. So I figured it was time to give the people what they want, an updated Invitation Inspiration post. As a wedding planner I know when it comes to invitations it can get overwhelming and very expensive. This post is going to highlight Etsy.com. Etsy is a fantastic place to look for an invitation shop. Not to mention, a lot of established invitation designers and companies actually have an Etsy account to gain clients from around the world. Just because it is from Etsy doesn't make it a "scrapbook type" handmade invitation.


These first three are perfect examples of Rustic and Girly. The doily is a beautiful detail.
 Twigs print studio $3.50 a set

Anista designs $12.75 ea.
Shabby Scrap $8.50 ea.

I  L.O.V.E. these!!! They are so incredibly different and stand out on their own. If you are looking for something simple but shocking at the same time, these are the invites for you.
Baum Birdy $6.75 ea.


 I just did a wedding this past fall where we did invitations that were very similar to these. The bride was lucky enough to be marrying a graphic designer so he just whipped her up and amazing set. :) Lucky her right? Well, if you are not that lucky but would still love that "air mail" or "travel" look in an invitation, these are perfect! The other fantastic thing about these? You buy the digital print and take the file to your local printer. This is a great cost effective way to get invitations.
ABandIG $20.00 digital print

Want something uber-girly that stands on its own? This die cut option is perfect for you.
Icing on the Paper $2.19 ea.

  These are similar to the Envelopements that my first Invitation Inspiration post was about.

These are adorable.

Here are a couple other great digital print options
