UPDATE: We have a winner! I used the random number generator at random.org and the number was 18, the 18th commenter is Sally! Congratulations! Make sure to play again later this month :-)

Everything sloooows down in August, including me (sort of) which is why I'm posting this giveaway a little late. It's also a little slow in wedding land since everyone is actually getting married, rather than planning one, well maybe not everyone so for those of you in the throes of planning your nuptials, here is the deal for this month:

Prize: an e.m.papers Wedding Invitation template of your choice and matching Save the Date (even if you don't see the Save the Date listed yet, I will whip one up for you.) with up to two color changes

What you need to do: In the comments section leave the following info: Why you would consider printing your own wedding invitations

Contest Winner: Will be announced on this blog on Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Because it's a great money saver, and it also allows me greater flexibility with paper and envelope selection, because it's all up to me and my fiance.

I'm thinking about printing my own invitations because it will save me money, but also because I want to make sure to inject our personalities into the design choices.

It's a great way to save money and time. And there's some lovely digital designs out there (yours included of course!) plus it's environmentally friendly!

Along with everyone else I plan to print my own invitations to be budget friendly. My fiance and I are on a very small budget compared to most. We're paying for the wedding all on our own while finishing up school. Printing my own invitations will help cut costs and gives us a greater freedom when picking envelopes, etc. I think that printing themselves is a win-win situation.

We both really like the Garden Party pattern. It's adorable and fits our venue quite well.

Hello, there! I am considering printing my own invitations for a number of reasons. Of course, keeping costs down is a major one; then, too, printing on our own allows us to choose the vendors. This way, we hope to support individual artists, designers, paper sources, and printers with our choices. We are prioritizing local and sustainable options in our decision-making. Lastly--but not least!--printing on our own gives us the ability to choose items that reflect our personality and set the tone for our wedding in ways that big-box options don't. I love your work, and hope it continues to be well-supported!

I think printing your invitations is a good idea for three reasons: 1. No one else in the world will ever have the same invitation as you on this special day 2. It's fun to do and makes them just like you, unique! 3. It's cost effective, I just got engaged and recently had hip surgery so I have been out of work for a while. This would greatly help out on the wedding budget!!

I would love this! I am having to pay for my own wedding in March and I have been searching for the best invitations. I love yours! Printing my own would allow me to have great invites at an affordable price. As well as print more if necessary.

Printing our own invites would be awesome! especially as both the fiance and I are deployed Marines getting married soon after our return to the States - printing our own invites would give us great flexibility and help us save money. And they would be so adorably unique!

i am a card maker who is passionate about creating with paper..and so ordering invitations that are spit out of a computer or commercial printer would never be a possibility for me..
the joy of card making comes via the creative process...that's what its all about for me!

I would really love to win this giveaway. My daughter is getting married in Jan. 2012 to her soul mate. They are great kids on a shoestring budget as is everyone these days. 14 years ago I had two months to put together my own wedding (2nd marriage). Because I was short on time, I created the invitations myself, with great success. I would love to do the same for this WONDERFUL and DESERVING couple.

I would love to win this giveaway because- as all the other women have stated- it will save me money. For some reason everything in my life has decided to break down since I've gotten engaged and needed to save money. This would be a wonderful gift.

I would definately chose to print my own wedding invites if it involved your designs. They are beautiful, original and I love them. You very kindly relisted the eyechart card for me so I could print it off for my partner's birthday this weekend. Can't wait to give it to him!

My finance and I aren't into all the traditional wedding "stuff" and we're looking for quirky invitations that reflect us. I would definitely print my invites if they featured your design. They are fabulous!

First of all printing my own invites would save alot of money, but the most important part would be the satisfaction of knowing I made those!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to print my own invitations because 1) I have a total crush on paper. I just love the feel of pretty paper in my hands. 2) DIY releases stress for me so you'd be helping me let out some wedding planning angst 3) We want a beautiful wedding but nothing too over the top, it'd be so nice to save money by doing some printing ourselves

Thanks for offering this contest!

I think it's is more personal this way and it's a great way to add your own personal touch and in a way have your one if a kind save the date or invitation. Also, it's cheaper!!! Thanks!!

Saving money is the main reason, but making it personal is the best reason! My daughters wedding is next fall, and the pace is already fast and furious!

i am seriously considering doing it to save money.. it just makes sense to save a little on the invitations and be able to use that money for the house or the honeymoon.. your invitations are adorable and I will definitely be looking at them again!

I'd print my own wedding invitations because I would get exactly what I want, plus I could embellish them too! My sister has just announced she is getting married, so I could make some for her! Love your work!
Kindest regards,
Jennifer

I would print my own invitations to ensure that our wedding has little environmental impact. Using a local print shop with recycled paper and soy-based ink will cut down on toxins/emissions and reduce how far the invitations have to travel before reaching their final destinations. Not only will the invitations be unique and beautiful but they will also show that there is a more earth-conscious way to get married!

Why not do your own invitation? This year alone we've had six weddings and the best one I've received is the one that was DIY. I just think it shows your guests the rest of the wedding is going to be just as fabulous and personal!

I think that doing your own printing can save a ton of money. It depends on the type of market your in. But if you don't have access to a printer is it really cost effective. That would be for them to decide.

I've considered printing my own invitations, but e.m. papers completely convinced me! We want a diy edge, would like to save time and money, and love how quickly it can all come together with a little bit of elbow grease. The cherries on top are the beautiful designs themselves. Customization in the way of colors and wording is the cherry on top of said cherries. The Monogram collection is perfect for our Autumn wedding. We're thankful we found e.m. papers!

My daughter just got engaged and I could really use this. It would make our job of making invites a lot easier.

This is a great idea. I am engaged and trying to start making wedding plans but not getting any help for the wedding from family so this would be a huge help.

So I bought a house. A small house. A very cute house. Our future home. But the house had a very big appetite. And it ate something very important. It ate our wedding budget. It ate our wedding budget and had a baby. A fat baby. The baby's name was Mortgage.

I'm crafty and spunky, and will make print our own invitations anywya, but your prize would make them so much more beautiful. Pick me please! xx (Getting married July 2012).

Doing your own invitations you can always add your personal touch to make it special. Saves time and money if you on a budget. I love diy projects and make things up as I go to make thing to my taste..
