Wow, it must be wedding-planning season, because I’m starting to get a ton of e-mails again about our tree ring invitations. Neither A. nor I really have the time (or inclination, if I’m going to be honest) to create so many similar sets of invites for clients so I spent most of today preparing these invites as downloadable templates for Photoshop and Illustrator. They’re ready to go straight to the printer once you’ve entered in your own text, but they’re also fully editable so you can customize them as much or as little as you want.
The templates are up in the Burning House Etsy shop already, and I’ll be adding them to the regular Burning House shop in the next few days. If you or someone you know has been coveting a set of these for their wedding, now you can create a unique set using your own text, fonts, colors and/or printers. You could even DIY the whole thing from start to finish if you like. Enjoy!

Hi Rebecca,
Congratulations on your engagement! You can find the template here. It is fully customizable so you can change absolutely anything you want about it, including the picture on the front.

I am very interested in these…are they still available?
From Jillian Gilpin

From lauren
Yup, can you find the templates in our etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BurningHouseSF?ref=si_shop

How did you have RSVP’s done? Did you include a separate response card of some type to have people send back to you? Is there a matching template to create response cards? What type of envelopes did you use to mail out the invitations?
From lauren
Julie: we did include separate RSVP cards that we printed ourselves. They had space to include your favorite family recipe, which we printed up as 4’ x 6’ cards and put in binders. Those recipe binders became our favors. I can post photos of both of these, but there is currently no template for the cards, since they don’t strictly “match” and I don’t think too many folks want a recipe section on them.
Any response card with the same font and/or color scheme would work, though.
We mailed these in square envelopes from this site but we later discovered they would be less expensive to mail in a regular 8 1/2” x 11” rectangular envelope.
From Kate
Hi, I also love this invitation, is it possible to change the size to make it a bit smaller? Also, could we change the tree ring on the front to a plain background?
Thank you!
From lauren
Kate: The invitation template in our Etsy shop is fully customizable, so you can change absolutely everything about it, including the size and tree ring background. Thanks!
From Kate
Thank you so much! I will plan on purchasing these. One more question, How did you cut the invitiation out? I’ve checked with a number of companies in my area and they have said they do not have tools to cut the circle shape.
From lauren
Kate: our invitations were so thick we had them die cut. Most letterpress printers can order you a custom die for this (the die lines are included in the template), but that can really add to the cost. Alternatively, there are online printers like psprint that have various size circle cutters already on-hand who can cut them for you. Or, if you’re going more the DIY route, and using paper rather than board, you can cut these out yourself with scissors or a craft circle cutter. The ones from Olfa or Martha Stewart are about $15 and can cut diameters as large as this invitation.
