DIY Invitation: Jill & Matt
No fancy graphics nor multi-color ensemble here. But by golly this has gotta be one of the most brilliant, creative, darling, type-a-licious, as-unique-and-personal-as-it can-get invites I’ve ever seen. Yeah, I could go on… but I’m gonna stop here and let you guys soak it all in. Swoon!

Wedding invitation designed by the groom himself, Matt Dorfman. See the rest of the suite here.

I absolutely LOVE this invitation!!!!!! It’s like you’re talking with a very close friend of the couple
so cute!!!
That is so sweet! I started to tear up!
That is one of the sweetest and charming invites I have ever seen. I am holding back tears typing this. So touching and oh so lovely. Off to go explore Matt’s site now! Congrats to the couple!!!
I think this may be the best invite I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love the run down of their history! God…so unique. ^_^
I just finally finished my own invitations last night, and this makes me want to start from scratch! I almost teared up, too!

This is insanely cute! And I love that word! Type-a-licious!!!
this invite is adorable. I love it. My favorite part is the end where it says “…and eternity to follow”
brilliant.
oh my gosh, this is the most amazing invitation i have ever seen. ‘eternity to follow’ is the perfect way to wrap up such a thing, i think
Awesome.
Absolutely amazing! And I agree with everyone else that “eternity to follow” is the sweetest thing ever! I wish I had thought of that for my invitations!
Absolutely amazing. Love the story and the sentiment (except for the anti NYC stuff haha)
This is adorable. I guess there are no rules in what should go in an invitation.
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing.
oh how i wish that such a lovely invitation would show up in my mailbox!
What a lovely invitation! I always love to hear other people’s love stories and this is a great way to share them!

Wow. Almost makes me want to get married again! Fabulous, fabulous. (We did a cartoon with a similar sort of running story for our wedding, but that was 20 years ago now! Perhaps I was on the vanguard of DIY weddings?)

Why is the bride’s name so much larger than the groom’s? That looks odd.

Great work, love it!
When it came to our wedding, I did the invitations myself too, and they really set the tone for a great wedding. Click on my title to see for yourself…
They’re pretty excellent but these take the biscuit for me. We had them at our wedding and people went ballistic. Check it out http://www.weddingteatowels.co.uk
