OK so recently I’ve been getting questions about where people can find custom handmade wedding invitations for gay couples. You’ve got 3 options:

1. a local printing company

2. an online vendor

3. Do it Yourself.

My wife and I chose to make our invitations ourselves. We chose the DIY route for several reasons: 1.Availability - there weren’t many people around making gay friendly invitations 2.Cost - the companies doing it were very expensive 3.The look - The feeling we were going for was French old New Orleans and that’s not so common. Although we created beautiful invitations for ourselves, they was ALOT of work involved. One thing we did was to look at wording and design of the online guys. If you are wanting to have them printed I’d suggest that you find a local printer or take a look at this site, Outvite, they offer custom handmade wedding invitations.

Outvite.com specializes in “custom-printed gay and lesbian wedding invitations, commitment ceremony invitations, adoption and birth announcements, party invitations, and more.” The selection is modern and attractive, although not too much different from what you might find at nicer straight-market invitation site.

Outvite says:

Outvite was created by a group of gay and lesbian employees at eInvite.com, a Massachusetts company that supports the GLBT community and offers same-sex partner benefits to its employees. We are proud members of the gay and lesbian community and are happy to help members of the community announce their family celebrations.
