Most hand made wedding invitations are done by small companies that are often run out of their home. Don't confuse this with lack of quality. The attention to detail is incredible and you have so many more options.
When wedding invitations are hand made, the bride and groom choose everything.
The card stock is the base. You can choose a single color or a printed page. The next level is the vellum. It can be clear or opaque. This is where the invitation is printed. It can be done with a computer or with calligraphy.
Then the invitation is put together with embellishments. Ribbons, raffia, wax and wire are all popular choices. Next you can choose to add shells, leaves, sand or anything else that ties in with your theme.

So take the time to look around and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the different handmade wedding invitations that you have to choose from.
