Working out the paper you are printing on should be the first step when you are making your printable wedding invitations.

But before that the first thing is working out what paper you will use is what theme/feel you want for your wedding as the initial invites do set the tone. So what will it be a traditional invite, elegant invite, casual invite, beach invite? Work out which one suit you. Pick paper that matches the feel and pick paper colors that match the theme.

Useful DIY Wedding Printing Paper Tips

When you do pick your paper make sure the layer that you print on isn’t over textured as your printable wedding invitations won’t come out. If you do want to use textured paper overlaying is usually the best way to get around this.

Home printing and vellum paper

Transparent paper also known as vellum paper can often be used to print text onto and overlay a picture or paper. When printing your wedding invitations make sure that you work out what side is the printable side of the vellum before sending 100 plus prints off. Usually it is the textured side as the smooth side will not absorb or hold the ink!
