1. Purchase blank cards. First, you have to purchase the blank cards and envelopes that you want to use for your wedding invitations. It is better to work with blank cards so that you can customize them according to the theme of your wedding. You can purchase these by the bulk. Ask for a discount when you purchase, especially if you are buying hundreds of cards.

2. Determine your design. The next step is to determine how you want your wedding invitations to look like. Remember to stick to the theme of your wedding for uniformity. Choose the font that you will use and the color combination. Remember to use readable fonts for the guests to easily understand the writing on the invitations.

This includes the names of the bride and groom, the entourage, RSVP details, etc. Make sure that you double-check the information so that you won’t forget anything.

4. Print the invitations. Before you print on the invitation cards, it is advisable to do a test printing on a sheet of paper first. This will help you determine if the text will be properly aligned on the invitation cards. After test printing, make the necessary adjustments and then print out the invitations on the blank cards.

5. Decorate the invitations. After printing, allow the ink on the invitations to dry completely before you start decorating. You can use many items for the decorations. One of the easiest ways in decorating your wedding invitations is by using rubber stamps. Purchase some wedding rubber stamps from the website Paper Source. You can use the stamps as borders or just to add a design on the blank card. Another idea is to use some pressed flowers. Use your imagination to come up with a good decoration for your wedding invitations.

Check Out Kim Kardashian's Wedding Invitation

Kim Kardashian's much-hyped wedding to Kris Humphries is drawing near -- August 20th, to be exact. Behold, the couple's VIP invitation for The Televised Reality-TV Wedding Of The Century: it's all happening at an undisclosed venue on 8/20/11 in Montecito, California, and it's black tie -- so make sure to don your tux, dramatic red-carpet gown and crystal-encrusted heels. Whatever Kardashians wear around the house in the summertime.

As expected, Kris Jenner and her husband, Bruce, are hosting the swanky affair. Last month, the over-the-top momager nearly had a nervous breakdown before bravely going under the knife for a pre-wedding facelift. Dedication!

As you can see, the high-gloss, black-and-white invite is flanked on either side by cards containing "Information and Details" and a formal notice that reception and dinner will follow the nuptials. According to E! Online, there is a request to keep the information confidential, which is necessary to keep TMZ's helicopters at bay.

People.com reports that the invite was delivered inside its own box, and is decorated with "hundreds of jet black hematite crystals." The designer, Lehr & Black, also crafted invitations for Khloe Kardashian's wedding to L.A. Laker Lamar Odom in September 2009.

Kardashian and Humphries got engaged in May (recall: the reality star's jaw-dropping, $2 million mega-rock). Kardashian's bridal gown is reportedly a Vera Wang creation, and last weekend, the pair kicked off the festivities with a double bachelor and bachelorette parties in Vegas. [omg.yahoo.com]
