    For everyone interested in doing this DIY, I strongly recommend that you call print houses before going out to buy all of the materials. We bought the exact same paper and designed our invites, and then spent 4 weeks calling over 30 printing places and no one would allow us to bring our own paper. We also tried printing the 140 lb paper on our personal printer and there was no way it was going to work. We actually live in Toronto and I was able to get in touch with Becky and go to the same print shop she used, but it was very much a one-off thing. The gentleman there was lovely and allowed me to bring in my own paper only after I explained that I was a bride and was getting desperate. Nowhere else would even consider it, so I don't think it's a common thing in the printing world (although it could be different in other cities).
    So, all that being said, just know that as beautiful as this DIY is, it wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. It turned out beautifully in the end, but my advice is to either buy thinner paper (maybe 90 or 110 lb?) and be prepared to print it yourself, or find somewhere in advance beforehand. Best of luck everyone! xoxo

      Devin Cleary I am in Scotland and I am struggling to find anywhere that will print onto this. I now have 40 sheets of pink paper that won’t be getting used and I’m starting my invites from scratch. I think this DIY wedding thing is not for me 😭😭 would love to know if anyone outside of Toronto has managed this

      I went to UPS of all places, and they printed for me.

      Unfortunately this will be the case for many print shops as you've pointed out. I work for a printing place and we already have to reject paper which is 1. not labelled, 2. not laser jet compatible paper (such as watercolour paper), and we also have the right to reject paper which hasn't been properly packaged / kept in packaging because paper which isn't properly stored soaks up moisture from the air and causes paper jams from slight property changes in the paper. It sometimes forces us to call a technician from that particular printer company to come and get the printer back up and operating if the paper is stuck in a position which is unsafe or hard to reach. If they find out that we are feeding paper in that isn't recommended by the printer manufacturer, that can mean issues for us as staff / our company. If the printer or a part of the printer needs to be replaced from it we have voided the warranty from using a different paper than what is stated by the manufacturer so it comes out of the company's pocket. So you can only imagine that if we have to reject paper that may have been affected by the slightest moisture in the air..how water soaked watercolour paper will go down, particularly when it's curled up on the edges and won't feed in flat. The invites are gorgeous and I wish we at printing places could do more to assist with this DIY but alas...there's a lot of consequences to it that aren't worth the risk. S:

      @@debrahunter8069 hi Debra, not sure if your wedding has been and gone but I just bought the canon PIXMA TS8150 from Amazon for £100 and it takes my 169lb paper. I know it's expensive just for one day but it might be worth it if you're doing more than the invites yourself. I'm in Scotland too. Feel free to message me xx

    My husband & I actually got married last year and we planned a super super small wedding because we had to plan it quick because his grandmother had cancer. 2 weeks before our wedding she went into the hospital so we actually got married in her hospital room and she passed three days later. So we're going to do an actual wedding ceremony when we renew our vows so i need allllllllllllll the DIYS I can get!

    I got married this past April and I cannot tell you how many times I referred back to the wedding series videos. I used the invitations DIY and got so many compliments on the invitations. My friends and family couldn’t believe that we made them ourselves. That then lead me to the floral gazebo/arch video and that inspired me to do my own florals and use fabrics for our altar, I’m rambling sorry. Point is, thank you for providing us with such great quality videos and for being so awesome! Love you girls!! Keep doing what you do!

    Obviously this is really late but as far as printing, if there is a UPS Store close to you, you could always go there. I work at a UPS Store and printing invitations (even on paper that a customer brings in) is our specialty! I would call ahead first, each store is independently owned so what my store does, other stores might not. But just an idea 🙂
