[JennyK]

You did a great job! Your map turned out really cute

[Copita]

These are awesome! I love the blue color of the envelopes and the wording on the RSVP

[boscobel]

They look great, Ab! Whew, what a relief to have that project done!

[Maura]

yeah, abbie -- let me know where you got the clear envelopes from. i was thinking it would be perfect for holding my welcome booklets and other assorted paper goodies for my welcome bags.

i forgot to mention, 2 of the fonts used were from dafont.com
Scriptina & Jane Austen, Copperplate Gothic Light came with PowerPoint, and Big Kahuna was the one I used on all the Vistaprint cards, then boring regular old Times Roman for the to: address labels.

yes, clear envelopes from Paper Zone / Inspire / Design / Create, the info is in the link of the other thread. they come in a gazillion sizes, and i actually got a size bigger than i needed, oops, i got 5.25x7.25 or something similar, and they were a smidge too big on the top and side. the side i was able to fix by wrapping tighter and then sticking (you peel off a strip on the back). but to fix the top wouldnt have been worth it. i didnt realize they were a tad too big until i had already stuck all my labels on otherwise i would have run to paperzone and bought a size smaller.

they are the perfect shade of tiffany blue to match my BM dresses, on cards and pockets it's Tiffany Metallic, and the BM dresses are DB Pool. the wording i'm pretty sure i borrowed from someone here, but i did also see it on an invite wording site, i think Invitations by Dawn - Unique Theme Wedding Invitations and Accessories.

yes so like i said above, from paper zone, tons of sizes and VERY inexpensive. i didnt want to use stuffy thick paper envelopes that hide all my hard work! plus, they are lighter weight than thick paper envelopes, so when we get them weighed for postage it will cut a few pennies off the cost!

I have the same palm tree whole punch and would of enver thought of doing that with it. Looks so cute. I love the invites and your pic is so cute! You guys are adorable together.

OMG they are amazing! I love everything about them, the color, the stamps, the map, the cute photos of you two! They look so good, you must be so proud of yourself! Did you send them out yet? You must be super excited to send them out.

 

Btw you can just mail mine along with Rebecca's. Thank you. LOL.

thanks! i am really proud, altho to knock myself down a peg or two, the do look much better in pics than in person, i just wanted them done, and i got a little sloppy with my cutting, not all the edges are perfectly straight, and the insert sizes are no where near the same width but, of all 83 i'm sending, i'm sure only my BFF will notice. she's freakishly picky about stuff like that

we're heading to the post as soon as i get off today. we want to have them weighed first so we know what our stamp options are, i LOVED the ones we got for our STD's, but i don't know if these are going to be quite heavy enough for a $0.90 stamp, and i want something cooler than a wedding heart or stupid flag or something

so yes, SUPER excited to mail these!! and like i said, open invite to all my BDW homies! to Seattle OR Cabo!!

abbie, not sure i saw this anywhere.... did you post what size the photoshare cards are? were they just business card size? i want to do these and include them in my welcome packets
