About WeddingDNA – DIY Resource for Brides

WeddingDNA.com began in 2003 when the founder, Jim Williams, wanted to create a resource for brides offering vector-based graphics. This idea is HUGE, and I’m so excited that I get to share it with you. When I found an email in my inbox from Melanie about this website, I was confused. I thought, “Are they really offering all of these graphics for only $39.95 for the year?” Thinking it was too good to be trued, I emailed Melanie back and asked her – and she replied that it was correct.

If you’re a bride who wants to make your own programs, invitations, and other stationery items for your wedding but you don’t have or know how to operate Adobe Illustrator (which is very expensive), then you MUST look into this option. They offer program and invitation templates to make it user-friendly and it’s certainly budget-friendly.

 

It’s true that you can now make your own invitations and stationery, pay only $39.95 to have designer quality invitations and only pay an additional cost for printing. I bet you could make your own invitations using this site for just as much money as you would spend on a generic boxed set at Target or Michael’s. And you can be as creative as you want using only the templates or making your own by accessing the tons of graphics they have to offer.

And I love that they aren’t a big corporation – they’re a tight 10 person team of designers and programmers. Don’t you just love these invitations?!? And by the way….I’m not being paid for this post. I’m doing it, because I really believe in this idea and think it’s great for budget-conscious brides.

You know that feeling when you come across something so beautiful that goose bumps raise on your arms or you feel butterflies in your tummy? That’s how I felt when I found Oh So Beautiful Paper. This is the blog I subscribe to so I can “ohhhh” and “ahhhh” on a regular basis. It puts a smile on my face and inspires me constantly. It’s not a blog where you’re going to find all the wedding planning advice, support, and inspiration that you need while planning one of the biggest days of your life. BUT….and it’s a big BUT, it’s a blog that no bride-to-be should overlook. I’ve fallen in love with it, and I know you will too. I got tons of ideas for my stationery from this blog and continue to get ideas for my blog {hello, I’m wedding obsessed} on a regular basis.
