Cheap (and Chic) Custom Monograms for Your Wedding

The easy way to add a touch of celebrity style to your wedding is to get personal -- it’s what the stars do to make their events a one-of-a-kind experience. The easiest, and most affordable, way for we mere mortals to do so is to have a custom monogram or wedding logo designed. Take a cue from Fergie and Josh Duhamel’s wedding invites, which were sealed with monogrammed stickers. Sounds pricey right? It doesn’t have to be! Thanks to Belletristics, a Florida-based design company, personalized monograms and wedding logos are so in your price range. Get a custom design (something like what you see here) starting at $6! (Yes, you read that right!) You can thank a fellow bride for the bargain -- a talented bride named Sarah launched the company in 2008 after falling in love with weddings after planning her own DIY big day.

Visit the website to learn more, or scope out Sarah’s blog) to see her most recent designs.

Invitations: Great DIY Printable Wedding Sets

I am a frequent Etsy.com online-window-shopper ;) and could literally spend hours upon hours in fascination at the unique creations the creative wedding and print shops have for sale... Stumbled upon the Belletristics - Aesthetic designs for the DIY Bride storefront and love that all of their items for sale seem to be pretty affordable and help cut down on costs if you visit your local Kelly Paper Company or other discount/wholesale paperies to get beautiful cardstock for lest and choose to print on your own at home (usually it ends up costing less by sending the file to staples since ink is so expensive these days and you may get a good price depending on the size of the bulk order - the only bummer is the price usually includes printing on simple matte cardstock or you just pay for their bulk printing and you supply your own upgraded paper). This shop seems to be flexible with personalizing colors, texts, and some other additions depending on the item and details of the order. Check em out~
