And I should have purchased this long ago.) Then I searched on the internet for instructions on DIY wedding invitations. I used google mostly and was able to find quite a few DIY instructions. Then I looked at youtube. Wow, it's just like someone's right there showing you step by step how to your own personally customized invites. You can probably search youtube for just about everything.
