My DIY Gift Box Invitations & Tutorial = Lots of Pics!


Recommended Posts

We knew a lot of our family members could not attend our destination wedding, but we still sent out 100 gift box invitations with a starfish magnet for a keepsake.

 

Let me show you pictures then break it down on how I threw it together.

 

How they arrived to the guests.

My Break Down of where I got everything......

 

Starfish Magnet:

Seeing Stars..

I bought the 3-4 inch Starfishes from Ebay Seller - Bestshells 50 psc for $13

I bought the flat Magnet Disc, 1/2"x1/16" from Ebay Seller - Gokrip 50psc for $16

Add hot glue and wholah you have yourself a starfish magnet. I started to see stars myself after making these...

 

Invitation Boxes:

My invitations were 5x7, so I purchased the "gift box" - 50 boxes for about $30

The Invitations:

were made by a friend- Free

 

I printed the invitation on photo paper from Sam's Club - .38/each

 

 and glued them to card stock for a layering effect. - $30.99 for 100 sheets.

I'm using this cardstock for my programs as well.

The RSVP postcards & Enclosure Cards:

I had these printed up on 4x6 by http://www.uprinting.com/ - $50

 

To send off each invitation was $1.92

 

This was a lot of work and very expensive but was worth every penny for us.

I would do this again in a heartbeat.

 

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
