You SO can!!!! Just buy the template...you'll have such an easy time!!

Don't even buy a template get it for free off this website! Once you see the template they're not that difficult. You just have to get to 150 posts before you will be able to download a template

Yeah I guess that would be your choice. I have about 4 different templates from users on here and ended up buying Aylee's template and was much happier. It's all in your preference I think! I definitely thought the $10 was worth it.

I think it all depends on how comfortable you are manipulating the free templates. Some are better than others (read - easier) for personalizing. I created mine by using several different templates and checking out all the different ones posted on here.

I agree. I ultimately bought Aylee's design because of the background and the cover design. Either way you do it, they really aren't hard to do yourself. It just takes a little creativity and a bit of time to construct everything )

After pricing designers that I LOVED, I just couldn't bring myself to spend $200 for 25 invites. I ended up spending less than $1.50 a piece to do it myself.

In the process of doing mine now and they are a total collaboration of a few different templates. I will post when I am done.

I used an orange metallic cardstock from Joann's for the cover and a thicker high-grade printer paper for the inside pages. I used VistaPrint to create my free reply postcards! Feel free to ask ANY questions!! The $10 template was the best money I ever spent!!

I was thinking about finishing it off with a ribbon around the bind?? I've seen that done a lot and think it makes a nice finishing touch. What do you think?
