Thanks Christine!

I should've pointed out that I deleted the last names on the parents names, lol. Otherwise they are centered.

I know, that script is so pretty but so hard to read! Its the reason why I added a third script and used it for our names. The problem is I'm limited with size. I'm making the pocket folds myself out of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. the final envelope will only be 8 1/2 by 4 so I needed to make sure all the inserts fit. I figure, most ppl know our parents names, and the location so they can make it out, lol!

I really love the script one your names are in- but would love to know which you used for everything if you're willing to spill the secret

Thanks sarah! What a compliment coming from you

 

I will def share my secrets, you know I don't hold out. I was going to wait until I finished them to post pics and instructions, but these are the fonts ( I tried attached them too.)

 

Scripts- Helinda Rook and Carpenter Block- Episode I

 

(Gotto love dafont.com)

 

I REALLY wanted to use Cezanne but I didn't want to pay for a font. So I felt that Carpenter could still give it that look. But yes, its hard read

Thanks! We needed to at this point. I actually left the space blank when we sent our Preliminary RSVP (w/ our STD's) and EVERYONE warned me. So there were quite a few suprises (i.e. someone I was expecting to say 2 said 5!) So I'm going to add the # of ppl the indicated when they responded to the Prelim Response.

Thanks! I really wanted to incoorporate this line. I acutally took three different invites, 2 friends and Anny's, and meshed the words together.

It's such a cool font I probably wouldn't change it. Where you wrote "cocktail" it's not hard to read, so I think it just needs a little more size.   Beautiful work!

Thanks!! so much !!!

Is there a space in amistad between the "amist" and "ad"? It could just be the font and the way they space those letters, just wondering...

 

But I think they are gorgeous Amy! I love that you did a Spanish and English version, and I've always loved your colors. Great job doing them yourself!!!

[rodent]

Thanks! i love the fonts. They are not in my font arsenal.

 

I agree that even if it's a little hard to read a few lines, everyone knows what they say.

[Sarah]

That makes sense about the last names...lol

 

I thought that was Carpenter I remember when you were looking for that one- I actually forgot about it. Thanks for sharing! I really like the Helinda Rook script too. I think I've also seen that one before, just never saved it- now I have! Thanks for sharing. Fonts can make or break a project- your selection is superb! Much impressed, once again. They are lovely, and your guests will be blown away by your creativity (although they won't believe you made them!).

[Christine]

that makes sense about the names, okay well then they are perfect and it just makes me sad I can't go. We will have to do something fun for our renunion in 2009 instead.

Thanks Jamy! The font I'm using makes it look like there is a space. Its a really weird font to work with. I needed to place 2 space between each word yet w/in the same work, you can obviously see a gap!

Yes, thanks to who ever found it for me, lol. I still would've loved cezanne though, but it was pretty pricey and I wasn't sure if it would have accent marks for the spanish version.

I know Christine. Please stop reminding me that we are attending your HS reunion next year, lol!

[TATrisha]

These look SO nice! I love them!

The only thing that seems a little odd to me was after COCKTAILS it says prior to reception... but the times kind of indicate that already. No big deal, they are still gorgeous!!! I love them!

[Yari]

These are so awesome! Great job!

I am so excited, its funny I think a lot of people are starting to get married and have kids, I have gotten back in touch with so many people since myspace and facebook came around and now I am excited to see certain people again. But let's look forward to your wedding first!!!

[babycow]

They look great! I love the spanish version. I can't wait to start mine, I will have at least one spanish one for my parents. Thanks for the inspiration!
