So in order to personalize the stuff we provide our guests, we decided to have everything we can still manage to do as DIY. As a person with 0% artistic abilities, I find this to be a very big struggle. I worked on creating the save-the-date invites with what little technical knowledge I have. I managed to finish with crooked cuts, misaligned sticking, poor color selection, whatever font I think would fit, etc. I had help, of course; my sister did most of the stickings for the next batches after the assembly line has been established.
In the process, I learned a few things about art: where to buy cheaper supplies, that there are different kind of scissors for specific materials, about various types of papers. Oh and I also got to refresh my non-existent photoshop skills.
Generally, it was a fun journey. I probably messed up a lot of these but that's part of the fun; we are giving these out to people who know me well enough that I really suck at this kind of stuff anyway. I did my best and I somehow am proud of my work. It was fun yes, but I definitely won't be doing this sort of thing in the near future though.
