Make Your Own Daisy Wedding Invitations

Daisy wedding invitations are a great invitation for a summer wedding. I personally LOVE daisies and sun flowers. What a great wedding theme! White and yellow, with lots of wild flowers, and big beautiful bouquets full of daisies and sunflowers. And of course the invitations and stationery to match!

I made this particular invitation by layering some card stock, decorative paper with a daisy pattern, and some vellum. I added a matching bow to hold all of the papers together. You can make many variations of an invitations like this using a daisy charm affixed to a small brad to hold the papers together, or even some dried flowers or handmade paper with dried daisies.

Materials used to make theses daisy wedding invitations

8 1/2" by 11" card stock

decorative paper

printable vellum

1/8" hole punch

ribbon

To make these invitations start by Printing your wording onto some printable vellum. Some vellums are too slick to hold ink or may damage your printer when you send the paper through it. The vellum should say right on the paper or package if it is meant to be printed onto.
To print onto these you can either print the wording 2 to a page (need help? visit the wedding invitations text templates page and order a printable template.) and then cut the vellum in half. Or you can cut the vellum in half ahead of time and then simply set up your computer document to the appropriate size and print straight onto the cut vellum.

Next trim 3/4" from each edge of the printed vellum pieces. In the end you will have a piece of vellum measuring 4" by 7". Now move on to cut both the card stock and the decorative paper. The card stock should be cut in half (assuming that you are using 8 1/2" by 11" card stock) giving you two pieces sized at 5 1/2" by 8 1/2". The decorative paper should be cut to 5" by 8".
TIP: To cut some major time and hassle from making your own daisy wedding invitations, take all of your papers on over to a local copy or print shop and have them cut the papers for you. Many of these shops have a hydraulic paper cutter which can cut all of your paper at once. It will be done in minutes, leave you with a perfect cut, and is very inexpensive.

Now on to the assembly of these invitations. Simply hold all of your papers together, layered so that the decorative paper is centered onto the card stock, and the vellum is centered onto the decorative daisy paper. Now punch two holes adjacent to each other abound 1/8" - 1/4" apart, right in the center top of the invitation. These holes are to insert a ribbon to hold it all together.

To finish simply cut some lengths of ribbon, insert them into the holes, and then tie the ribbon into a pretty bow.
