My Invitations - Long overdue ***PICS***

[seaprincess]

I sent my invitations out back in May (we opted out of STD), so these pics are long overdue.

 

Originally, I had planned to order my invited through a local invite store, but when I looked at the design I was completely uninspired by what they had to offer.

 

I ended up buying the stock and envelopes from the Martha Stewart collection at Michael's because it was exactly what I was looking for.

 

I had my graphic design friend offer to create the design and then when I tried to get it printed at a local print shop, they couldn't get the colour of the ink to match the robin's egg blue trim.

 

I decided to give it a shot at home and it turned out perfectly!

 

I printed all 80 invites at home (feeding each piece of cardstock through the printer b/c it was too thick to feed properly) and printed the address and my return address on clear labels (I have brutal handwritting and I was in a rush)

 

Finally, the pics!

 

The invitation station as I called it while this project took over the dining room

 

 

The actual invite

 

The invitation insert (dates, time, cost, contact) as well as the TA's business card - I mounted the business card on teal cardstock and punched the palmtree out of the same paper and mounted it using gluedots

 

The invite with the information insert

 

The invite with the envelope (I love that it is lined in the blue!)

 

The invites labeled and stamped to go!
