PRINTABLE wedding stationery...
One of the best things about designing 'printable' wedding stationery is that we get to work with couples from all over the world. In fact the flexibility in being able to send a design to just about anywhere in minutes is one of the reasons we established I do it yourself back in 2009. Over the years we've worked with brides and grooms from just down the road to the other side of the globe. From all sorts of cultural backgrounds, getting married in their own backyard or jetting off overseas. This diversity is what inspired our exotic travel range. Whether you're planning a destination wedding or simply inspired by the vibrancy and richness of a far off land - the exotic travel range is for you.
Party like a pineapple with this super cute tropical bridal shower invitation, or remember your big day with a gorgeous elephant fingerprint guest book.
DIY project...
Adding the Midas touch to wedding decorations can be as simple as a can of spray paint - instant opulence and glamour. Why not get tropical with gilded fruit for centrepieces of place settings? There are a couple of ways to go about it... |

Edible Spray Paint. Yes you read that right, edible. German company Esslack makes a gold spray paint that is actually edible and they aren't the only ones!
Edible Gold. Used in cake decorating, there is gold leaf, gold icing and gold glitter. Pretty shiny yum yum yum.

Marigolds are an important symbol of Mexican Dia de los Muertos and the flower has been used for centuries in Indian weddings. Colourful marigold garlands are a great decoration for parties and weddings. |
