They looked lovely. I had seen one or two of your inspiration images elsewhere and your invites reminded me of them before – I think your version worked out well. I also am a big fan of brown recycled card.

Second image down from top right is Jamie of A Desert Fete.

They are beautiful, very stylish and unique, I love them! I’m also very impressed you did it all in Microsoft Word!

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! But unfortunatley I cannot find parts 2,3 & 4 on the website, none of the links seem to be working. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE repost or send me the info via email.

Hi Tess, I have sent you an email x

This is such a beautiful invitation! Just wow!

Thanks Rachel

Hi Charlie, I too love these sooo much. Im having a barn wedding and would love to do something similar. If possible, could you also forward the links to the other parts to my email? Id love love love to read them. Hope you had an amazing wedding day!

Hi Charlie

thanks

Hi Charlie!

I also would love to see more: I’m in the process of designing my own invites, and I absolutely love the format of your detail book! I read that you had a horrible experience with plagiarization, so I completely understand if you’re reluctant to hand out a step-by-step tutorial; but could I perhaps get some direction as to what you found worked and looked best for actually assembling the booklet? Thanks so much!

<3 Kelly

Hi please please could you forward the other parts (part 2 onwards) for your homemade wedding invites? I would be so grateful xx

Hi Charlie, we are currently starting to think about making our invites – our save the dates have already been sent out (manilla luggage tags handstamped with our stag motif and typed on our 60s typewriter!). I intend to use word to create our invites and I would be greatful if you could email me the rest of your tutorial and how you deal with Word’s eccentricities! I have a wonderful artist friend who has created an illustration for us and now need to work out how to use it as a template to include our details! Your invites were beautiful- you are very talented!
Kind regards, Tara

Hi Tara, I shall get in touch via email asap about the rest of the tutorial. Your save the dates sound lovely, do send a picture if you’d be up for sharing details of how you made them on my blog – would love to feature them Best wishes and hope you are having a lovely Christmas break xXx

Hi Charlie

I actually owe you an email about the save the date cards and whether or not they would make it through the post. I bought some little brown envelopes in the end and posted them in that – just to make sure they arrived! I will take some pics and send them through to you.

In the meantime, I too would be very grateful for a bit more information on your main invites. I’ve got some lovely little illustrations which I’ve done and scanned but the tutorial to help me on my way would be fantastic! If you could email me I would be very grateful.

With very best wishes, Ali xx

Hi Ali,

Ours all made it through the post ok – I did a test run sending myself one and it arrived perfectly, but tiny brown envelopes sounds lovely and its always great to be on the safe side. Would love to see the pics so do email them over whenever you get a chance. I’ll be in touch about the other parts of the invites ‘how to’ – your illustrations sound lovely

Best wishes, Charlie xXx

I absolutely love these invites! I am getting married in July but can’t locate parts 2, 3 and 4 of making these invites where are they.
We wanted to do brown paper and black text so this seems perfect but we are thinking of having a photo as the front. Please could you point me in the direction of the other parts of this how-to?
Thanks!
I am a huge fan of your site and your wedding looks like it was amazing!

Hi Charlie, my fiance and I want to do something similar to your invites for our wedding. Could you email me parts 2, 3, and 4? Thanks!

Hi Scott, will be in touch x

Hi, so glad to find someone else who has used brown for their invites!
I’m struggling to find parts 2,3 and 4 for the invites and would love to use
Your ideas to help me thank you, I love your designs, they are beautiful x

Hi Charlie, I really like your invites and would love to know how you made them. Could you please email me the details? Thanks.x

Hi Charlie,
I loved you save the dates and am in the process of making some very simular for our wedding next August.
I have also spotted your invites, but also cant seem to find parts 2, 3 and 4.
Thanks Chrissie

Hi Emma will be in touch x

Hi Lucy, I’ll be in touch x

Hi Chrissie, I’ll be in touch shortly x

hi! can you post a link to parts 2, 3 and 4 please?

Hi,

I also love your invites so perfect for my wedding in October. Could you send me the link for parts 2,3 and 4 also? I cant find them on the site. Thanks so much. Your wedding was beautiful xx

Hi Julie, so pleased you love our invites – I’ll be in touch with you by email. It’s so nice to hear you liked our wedding too xXx

My bookmark for part 2 3 and 4 won’t work either. I hope it’s not due to the trouble you had with people selling your idea

Hi Sam, they are temporarily removed – I will get them back online as soon as I have a free moment – will be in touch by email though x

Hi Charlie, absolutely love these..they are fab. Sorry to hear you’ve had problems. Would you be able to let me know when the next sections are available… Thank you!! x

Ps. Just so you know, if anyone looking for a stamp, I’ve found a couple of lovely ones – follow the link; http://www.handyhippo.co.uk/p7635-penny-black-rubber-stamp-adorned-tree.html

Hi Claire, so pleased you like our wedding stationery, will be in touch via email. Thanks also for sharing the stamp find, always great to find out where to buy lovely things xXx

Hi Charlie,
Your stationery is absolutely gorgeous – I spotted your details booklet on Love My Dress and wondered where you got the illustrations on the front from- or if this was DIY-ed as well? It’s beautiful and I’d love to do something similar.

Your blog is keeping me inspired while we create our wedding – thank you!

Hi Charlie,

I’m echoing the many other comments on here so far- I’ve stumbled across your blog whilst trying to get some help with making invites using brown recycled card and- god help me- Microsoft Word. If you could send me parts 2-4 as well I’d be most grateful! Would love to send you pics of the finished product once I’m done xx

Hi Holly, thanks for your lovely message – I’m so pleased you liked our wedding stationery. Really delighted you like the blog too Will send you an email xXx

Hi Sama, thanks for your lovely comment – it’s so great to hear so many people love the brown recycled card. I will be in touch by email and would absolutely love for you to send pictures of your invitations! xXx

These invitations are stunning! I have been trying to create an invite including a luggage tag for ages but have not been able to think outside the box at all and this has provided me massive inspiration! I would love to get more info on parts 2,3 and 4 if you are happy to share. Such a beautiful wedding!! x

Wondering if you could send me parts 2-4 also? such a great idea, they are beautiful!

Hi Sophie I’m so pleased to hear our invitations have provided you with some inspiration I’ll send you an email with details xXx

Hi Rebecca I’ll be in touch by email with details – really lovely to hear you think they are so beautiful xXx

Hi Charlie,
I have been totally inspired by your invitations and I too am a huge fan of brown paper! Would you be able to give me some guidance on how you created the booklet that went with your invite please? I am in the process of creating my own invites and I will send you some pictures when I have finished them xx

Hi Jodie, thank you so much for your lovely message – I’m having a bit of a down day so hearing from you has cheered me up immensley I will get in touch with you via email and would love to see some pictures when you’re finished xXx

Hi Charlie,

I have made my save the dates using brown hair manilla, we are going for the eco- theme! these are lovely! could you send me the details of parts 2,3 and 4 please?

Thank you! x

Hi Rebecca, how lovely to hear you’ve used the hairy brown manilla card I’ll be in touch by email x

loving the invitations! battling with producing ours at the moment – turns out we’re not as artistic as we prided ourselves on being! is there any chance you could send me the further parts of the invitation creation – we’re struggling! many thanks! x

Hi Katie, of course, I’ll send you an email xXx

Hi

I am a bit of a novice at diy and am making my own order of service with recycled card. I wondered if your tutorial had any hints of binding the pages together? I love the idea of twine but wouldnt have a clue where to start sewing them together!

Hi Claire, thanks for your message. Have you seen my blog post on our order of service? If not, here’s the link: http://thenaturalweddingcompany.co.uk/blog/2011/10/the-order-of-service-for-our-rustic-country-wedding/. We made ours out of recycled card and recycled paper inners. To make it simpler, we just folded A4 to create A5 booklets, then used a piece of raffia to hold them together – we ran it down the centre of the booklets, then up the spine, then tied in a knot to hold it in place. If you let me know some more details on what kind of booklet you are making I might be able to help more – do email me if you’d rather at charlie@thenaturalweddingcompany.co.uk xXx

Aww that’s so lovely! Well like you I’m using the hairy manilla card and inside am folding a piece of recycled paper with Rose petals imbedded in it. I had thought about making 2 or 3 holes down the card/paper (no idea how!) and then using twine and a great big needle thread the twine through and tie in a knot on the outside. I’m going to hang a vintage charm from the twine and tie a piece of vintage lace around the knot. So far so good save that I wouldn’t have a clue how to make the holes (I think I have seen a stabby pen type thing on websites!) I’m interested re your twine idea. Did everything stay together and not slip off? Did you glue the page on the card to stop it moving and then use the twine (another idea I had!) thanks for your help so far!

If you are looking to make holes, I think you can buy a holepunch that just makes one hole at a time and you can rotate it to get different sized holes – but no idea what they are called sorry!

Yes, ours stayed together fine. My feeling is that they aren’t used for that long, so for me I didn’t want to invest masses of time into making each one if I could do it a simpler and just as nice way – I guess that’s for you to decide on yours But no, we didn’t glue anything. We just foled the card around the paper (love that you’re using petal paper!) then used the raffia as I mentioned in my previous reply.

Hope that helps – do keep asking questions if you have any more and hope you decide how to do them xXx

Thank so much that’s great-your wedding really is an inspiration!

I’ve stumbled across your blog whilst trying to get some inspiration for my stationary. I have fallen in love with everything and now find myself scouring the site every day. If you could send me parts 2-4 on how to make the invites I’d be most grateful! Would love to send you pics of the finished product once I’m done xx

Thank you so much for such a beautiful website

Hi Rachel, thank for such a lovely message – I’m so pleased you have found lots of inspiration on my website and blog. I have sent you an email and do stay in touch xXx
