DIY Photobooth Style Invitation

Matrimony Monday: Invitation

So usually when introducing wedding ideas if you were going to do the invitation you would have already posted the "Save the Date"... but I'm just not your usual gal and I really love our wedding invitation :)

I must admit that the idea didn't just come to me in a dream... while I wish it had.  I found it as I have found most of my ideas... on pinterest :)

This pin was my inspiration:

I just loved how casual and unique it was.  They looked like they had so much fun making it.. and because I am a cat lady, I loved the cat at the very end.

So Russ and I went to work on our own version.  We had an awesome photographer (my mom), some poster board and markers that cost us all of 10.00 and my very very minimal skills on Microsoft Publisher.  It was so much fun to create!  Here is our result:

 While adding our own personality, some "planking" and keeping the design pretty simple I'd say we were pretty successful.  We got so many compliments and it was so easy! Despite what all those fancy magazines and wedding shows say... your wedding DOES NOT have to cost a fortune, friends. 

To add a little extra we included an "R.S.V.P." card and kept it with our "photo booth" theme...

(they printed two per page.. and I'm not quite sure how to just upload one.. so I apologize for the duplicate)

We laughed, we cried... we had an invitation unlike anyone else and that is what I love the most.  Take the time to be creative and make things personal.  You will remember those things so much more and they will be remembered by others.  Happy Matrimony Monday, friends.  I hope your day was beautiful and you are inspired and feel encouraged to be unique in all that you do. 

L.O.V.E. what you do.
