One of the most common questions we get asked by our Etsy customers is how to add some color to otherwise plain invitation templates. While it’s possible to simply customize text and illustration colors to match your wedding colors, instead we usually recommend mounting the invitations to patterned paper to create invitation borders. This time around we mounted a simple wedding invitation template to watercolor art to make these super easy watercolor wedding invitations.
Here’s how you can make your own layered wedding invitations on the cheap.
Bridesmaid robes are everywhere these days and it’s one trend I can completely get behind. Not only do they make great bridesmaid gifts that your girls will get tons of use out of in the future, they also bring a certain level of charm and polish to your pre-wedding pics. But finding bridesmaid robes for cheap can be tricky, especially if you want ones that look good in photos at a price that doesn’t make you cringe.
One of the best things about printing your own wedding invitations is that you have the freedom to make them look however you want. Even if you don’t consider yourself the craftiest of brides, you can still make beautiful, personalized invites simply by starting with a design you love and choosing interesting papers that look amazing when layered. That’s essentially what we did with these sweet vellum wedding invitations.
Just print your invitation templates in two phases, with the text on vellum and the artwork on high-quality cardstock. Then put them together with ribbon or a simple gold brad. We’ll even show you the exact supplies we use to make professional-looking invites without spending a ton of money.
SEO (or Search Engine Optimization) is such a buzzword these days. Especially in the Etsy community, where it’s often touted as the holy grail of shop success, SEO has taken on this sort of mystical quality: it’s both impossible to understand and vital to crack if you want to succeed. And while I’ve found that understanding Etsy SEO is important for getting found, it won’t necessarily lead to more sales.
Unless you put in the work to test, tweak and update your keywords consistently.
Choosing strong keywords and using them correctly can help
any shop move up in the rankings, but it’s really SEO maintenance that matters when
it comes to creating a business that lasts. If Etsy makes an algorithm change
or if your search terms go out of style overnight, your traffic can disappear
faster than you can say holy sss…earch engine optimization. So instead of
obsessing about your rank, you need a consistent plan to stay relevant and at
the top of search over time without constantly erasing your hard work and
destroying your traffic.
I learned this the hard way when my traffic plummeted nearly
50% year-over-year thanks to an algorithm change. I woke up one morning a few
months ago and realized I hadn’t made a single template sale in days.
