What is the best Cricut machine for making wedding invitations?
That all depends on the operation type you plan to use to create your invitations. There are four main operation types to use to create invitations with your Cricut, and not every Cricut machine can perform all four operation types. Let’s take a look at the five ways to make invitations with a Cricut and explore the compatible machines. The table below shows at-a-glance which Cricut machine can perform each of the operation types to create wedding invitations.
Print-then-cut: The most common way
The print-then-cut operation type is the most common way to make wedding invitations with a Cricut machine. You can use Canva to design your own invitation or customize one of the pre-designed templates then export the invitation image and upload it to Cricut Design Space. Both the Explore and Maker model machines are compatible with the print-then-cut type. Keep in mind that you’ll need access to an inkjet printer.

Foil Transfer Kit: Add a touch of elegance
Another popular method for creating invitations with a Cricut is to use the foil transfer kit. Foil adds a touch of elegance to invitations. All three Cricut machines are able to create this foil effect. Cricut makes two different foil transfer kits, one that is compatible with the Maker and Explore models, and one that is compatible with the Joy.
Engrave Tool: For a unique look
For a unique look, some couples choose to engrave clear or mirrored acrylic for their wedding invites. The engraving tool is compatible with the Maker or Maker 3. If you’re curious about how to use the engraving tool with the Maker, this article gives step-by-step instructions.
