One place that you can save money without sacrificing style is with invitations. Layered wedding invitations are an easy DIY project that look professional because they are.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Layered wedding invitations typically come in two or three layers that you can put together at home with glue or ribbon. You simply order your preferred invitation style from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/search-for-layered-wedding-invitations\/Wedding\">PaperDirect\u2019s<\/a> large inventory, and print the specific information on the blank card from your own home computer. By printing it yourself, you can control the size, font and color and make certain the text is exactly the way you want it. PaperDirect also provides a free template download to simplify the job and assure that you produce beautifully polished invitations that reflect the sentiment of your wedding day.<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/Pristine-Vellum-Specialty-Layered-Invitations\/-174973\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11588\" alt=\"Pristine Vellum Specialty Layered Invitations\" src=\"\/blog\/media\/SEW112DB.jpg\" width=\"208\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/blog\/media\/SEW112DB.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/blog\/media\/SEW112DB-104x150.jpg 104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Two-Layered Invitations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A two-layered invitation includes a printed backer and coordinating blank invitation sheet.
