Can I make wedding invitations with a Cricut machine?
This is one of the top questions we get, and yes, you sure can! Creating your wedding invitations using a Cricut machine is a simple yet creative way to add a personal touch to your special day. Firstly, decide what type of material you want your invites. Are you doing Cricut's Print and Cut feature? Or using paper with ink pen, acrylic, paper, wood veneer, paper with vinyl or gold foil details, and so forth? Choose the design that you would like to use, which can be done either by downloading templates from Cricut's website or by creating your own design using the Cricut Design Space software. Next, load your desired paper or cardstock onto the appropriate Cricut cutting mat, ensuring that it is secure. Set up your Cricut machine with the appropriate blade and select the design that you have chosen to cut. Once the cutting is complete, carefully remove your project from the cutting mat and then assemble your invitations as you wish. Add any additional embellishments such as ribbon or DIY wax seals to complete the look. Creating your wedding invitations using a Cricut machine may not only save you money, but it will also add a unique and personal touch to your special day!
Modern Acrylic Place Cards
• see the inspiration •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
Acrylic has quickly become a classic favorite when it comes to wedding details. Its versatility makes it perfect for most every wedding theme! These blank acrylic hexagon place cards can be purchased on Amazon and instantly personalized with your Cricut machine. We like using removable vinyl on this type of material because it helps give a new life to acrylic after the wedding day! They can be upcycled into so many other DIY projects or gift ideas.

Wedding Vow Books
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Everyday Iron-On, Soft Metallic Leather
Not just a lovely photogenic way to remember your vows while you say I Do, but these elegant and easy-to-make wedding vow books are beautiful keepsakes to give to family or future generations. For your written words, hire a calligrapher or print them out from your computer to make their contents extra memorable. The rose gold soft leather does come in multiple colors and can be cut into any shape or size of your choosing.

Proposal Stein for the Beer Lovers
• see the inspiration •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Permanent Vinyl
As opposed to removable vinyl, permanent vinyl makes a gorgeous statement on glassware that may get damp or be affected by humidity! Craft beer aficionados can pop the question with a fabulous message on a mug! If you're looking for unique ways to propose to your partner, electronic cutting machines changed the game making anything possible (including a past velvet proposal banner DIY we made!).

Wedding Hashtag Sign
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
Let everyone know to share their favorite moments on your wedding day with a bold sign showcasing your personalized wedding hashtag! We especially love the idea of putting it on a donut wall because, let's be real, everyone's going to be drooling and staring at the yummy treats already. When using vinyl of any sort, don't forget to use transfer tape to make the application seamless.

Bachelorette Party Fanny Packs
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Foil Iron-On
For the ultimate summer bachelorette party with your pals, fancy up a gorgeous special occasion waist bag that makes concerts, beaches, and other get-together moments just a little bit extra. You can grab these exact fanny packs on Amazon Prime for quick crafting! Iron-on material is so much fun to play with when it comes to personalizing things, especially when it's shiny gold foil. We recommend using the Cricut EasyPress Mini and an accompanying EasyPress Mat with this project because it evenly distributes the heat on the synthetic nylon fabric and protects it from unwanted melting when using the recommended settings!

Sea Glass Table Numbers
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Permanent Vinyl
It'll be no surprise we included a few different table number ideas in this roundup... we love table numbers, and possibilities are endless with an electronic cutting machine! These beach-inspired table numbers are so elegant that you'd never know they were homemade. You can buy these exact blank sea glass and stands right on Etsy and do the rest of the crafting at home!

Foiled Wedding Program
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Textured Vinyl
Upgrade your modern wedding stationery with a bit of angled textured vinyl. If you're printing your wedding programs at home, then enhance it by cutting thin metallic shape prettiness and arranging them in a lovely geometric pattern like this bride did! Work with small, less complicated designs so you don't have a vinyl mess when applying it to the cardstock.

Wedding Ceremony Memorial Chair Decor
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Cardstock
For the scrapbookers and card makers, paper is already your art, so consider bringing that talent into the wedding! Not all loved ones can be there in person on the wedding day, so creating memorial decor handmade with love can be one of the most special tributes. Neutral-colored cardstock makes for sturdy timeless 2D and 3D designs when framing your loved one's photo. If you're new to Cricut, you'll need to use the LightGrip cutting mat for paper crafts.

"Amor" Food Flag Picks
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Cardstock
Take your appetizers to the next level with personalized picks! With some cocktail toothpicks and some textured cardstock, you can make any design to bring the festive mood to your food. Be sure to upgrade from the everyday toothpick and get kokeshi-style toothpicks; these have a stylized carved top and look gorgeous for food or drink flags.

Tote Bag for Getting Ready
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Everyday Iron-On
Getting ready bags are really popular with brides and their wedding parties. We see a lot of cotton canvas bags, so we especially loved this bridal bag made of jute/burlap for a unique look! Because they're more heavy duty, anyone can upcycle these into market bags after the wedding day! Like the fanny packs above, we recommend using the Cricut EasyPress with this project because it evenly distributes the heat on the burlap material.

Wedding Station Mini Chalkboard Signs
MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
Have small chalkboards but maybe aren't steady in your handwriting for signage? That's where the Cricut comes in! Just cut your wedding food or drink station names and transfer it onto your blank signs! Little chalkboard easel signs can be found on Amazon, but you can make your own if you can't find them already constructed. Use some transfer tape to apply the names on your signs, and there you have it!

Floral Vase Table Numbers
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Textured Copper Vinyl, Vinyl
Marry your floral centerpieces with your day-of decor with these unique table numbers! Textured and regular vinyl come together for an elegant modern way to tell your guests where they are sitting at the reception. If you have been a reader for awhile, it's no secret we're obsessed with textured copper around here, so we were extra excited when Cricut came out with their textured copper vinyl for wedding DIYs.

Wedding Welcome Mirror Sign
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
Whether you already a large mirror or found one at your local thrift store, mirrors can be lovely classic decor pieces for wedding welcome signs, menus, seating charts, and more. Any kind of vinyl can be used on mirrors depending on your short or long term preference. With so many different colors available, ideas are limitless! Transfer tape is a definite must when adhering your sign wording.

Selenite Crystal Place Cards
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Extra Fine Point Pens, Cardstock
Did you know you can also use a Cricut machine for writing? Specially-sized ink pens can be inserted into the Cricut Explore Air 2 or the Cricut Maker accessory adapter so you can write wedding place cards, invitations, address labels, and more. After writing, your machine can also cut the shapes of your place cards for instant double finish!

Honeymoon Passport Cover
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl, Adhesive Foil
Pretty up that passport with a custom no-sew cover before you jet away to your honeymoon! You can find sturdy non-adhesive vinyl sheets (like the Lilly Pulitzer pattern we found in our original DIY tutorial) and then apply adhesive vinyl bits for a chic travel accessory. Any time we can use shiny metallic vinyl is a good time.

Agate Stone Sweetheart Table Number
MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Permanent Vinyl
We have a love affair with agate wedding details. Well, any naturally-made material, really! Take agate crystal bookends and transform them into a special table number for your sweetheart table. It's not usually cost effective for all reception tables, so just using them for you and your partner's table gives a unique and made-for-you look! We recommend permanent vinyl and StrongGrip transfer tape because of the slick polished surface.

"Shoes Optional" Beach Wedding Sign
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
Beach weddings are the epitome of casual chic romance. Let your guests know that their footwear isn't needed when you say your I Do's with an adorable "Shoes Optional" sign made with some stained wood and white vinyl. Take it to the next level and screw in some hooks to hang large paintbrushes for people to get rid of any sand on their feet afterwards.

Flower Girl Wedding Denim Jacket
• see our DIY tutorial •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Patterned Iron-On, Everyday Iron-On
Jean jackets are super trendy right now for the relaxed wedding vibe. There are gorgeous denim bridal jacket options on Etsy for brides, but don't forget the little ladies in your crew! We found our jean jacket at a local thrift store and upcycled it into a cute accessory for the flower girl! Since we published the tutorial in 2018, Cricut has come out with a SportFlex iron-on material. While the normal iron-on works great on jean jackets, the SportFlex has a bit more stretch which can be good for ironing over thick denim seams.

Wood Block Table Numbers
• see the wedding •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Permanent Vinyl or Everyday Iron-On
Wood is another favorite material to work with when it comes to wedding DIY projects, but we definitely love how easy it is for table numbers! You can actually use iron-on OR vinyl when it comes to this simple project. Whatever you have on hand works! Pre-stained wood blocks can be purchased on Etsy in your choice of color. We especially love any wood stain color that helps make the white table number pop!

Acrylic Menu Sign
• see the inspiration •MATERIALS USED WITH CRICUT: Vinyl
Just like the acrylic place cards shown above, you can transform a larger piece of acrylic into wedding-related signage for gorgeous modern decor. A menu display sign can be a photo statement in of itself and be a bit more eco-friendly by eliminating individual paper menus! Most home improvement chain stores have acrylic sheets you can buy, or if you want to support smaller businesses, you will easily find that Etsy shops can customize the size and shape of a blank plexiglass acrylic sign for you.
