DIY Wedding Invitations
Everything I used to make stunning wedding invitations for our European summer themed wedding for under $200
Really high quality, organic edge cotton paper. Worked well in my Canon PIXMA.
50 Sheets 4x6in 160 GSM Deckled Edge Paper
Used this paper for the actual invitation part of our paper invites. Beautiful and high quality. Worked in my Canon PIXMA printer.
50 Sheets 5x7in 300GSM Watercolor Paper
This was the star of the show. Cheapest way I found to do vellum sheets, wax seals (and faster), baby's breath and the ribbon. Just perfect!
Fuyoooo 50 Sets Wedding Invitation Wraps
I bought a Canon PIXMA ts3522 printer for $20 on FB marketplace, but I found this version that's affordable and has great ratings. (and you can use the printer for so many other things for the wedding, menus, welcome cards, etc...)
Canon PIXMA TR4720 Wireless All-in-One Printer
These are the most beautiful, high quality envelopes. Such an amazing find with the Italian painted-style print on the inside.
Venice Pattern 5x7 Envelopes - 30 Pack
This is a perfect kit for the gold leaf I added to my invites. It has the brushes, the glue, the gold leaf and everything you may need to make gorgeous additions to menus, signs, invites and more!

In case the others are out of stock, this is another link to the floral liner envelopes.
5x7 Floral Pattern Envelopes 30 Pack
This was the ink I used for my Canon printer. Check to make sure your ink is compatible with whichever printer you decided to get. I had the TS3522 and this is what mine took. Get the XL if you can, it's better value.

DIY Bridal Makeup
I did my own bridal makeup and saved about $400. I felt WAY better in it too. Just in case you need some go-to products, here's what I recommend.
This was the bb cream I used for my overall face “foundation”. It's light, feels good on my skin, gives great coverage and has sunscreen. I love Missha.
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream No.23 SPF42
This was the shade I used for my “concealer”. You don't have to buy another one, but I had a PR package with all the shades and found this worked really well!
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream No.21 Light Beige SPF 42 PA+++
This was the shade I used for my “contour”. You don't have to buy another one, but I had a PR package with all the shades and found this worked really well!
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream No.25 Warm Beige
I wanted this powder SO BAD but it was literally sold out because of tiktok for all the weeks leading up to my wedding. I haven't personally used it but I've seen enough people that have and they SWEAR by it.
L'Oreal Infallible Blur-fection Loose Powder
I used a trial size of this setting spray from a family member and let me tell you my makeup did NOT BUDGE. Definitely worth the hype.
Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Spray
DIY Stained Glass Sign
This is the paint I used and it's what you need to get the stained glass effect. Don't use other ones!
Gallery Glass Acrylic Craft Paint Set, 18x2oz
This is by far the industry standard for gold. Used by almost every DIYer. This is what you need to make your metal accents gold if you want.

This is what I used to get the stone old world look for all the vases I thrifted for the wedding.
Krylon K18213 Coarse Stone Texture Spray

Cricut Printable Iron-On Fabric Sheets
FOR DARK FABRICS
Cricut Printable Iron-On Fabric Sheets - B0DXX86RCD
