great job! Would you be willing to share what you put on your Pres-RSVP cards? I'm trying to figure out how to word ours.

Wow, your invites are fantastic!

You're STD's are amazing. I've been struggling with how much info should go with the STD vs. the formal invite. I think you found a good balance. I am curious though, how much or what are you sending in the invites?

Thanks for all the great ideas!!

Hey MarieSam, I'm just seeing these for the first time. They are fabulous! I love the colors.

Are you using a normal inkjet printer? I think my printer might be a little old so I think I'm going to have to upgrade before I do my invites.

Sure no problem, I know my pic is kinda blurry ~ but the text is as follows, of course change according to your dates/info, etc.:

 

"To get a general estimate on the number of people attending our wedding in Mexico, we kindly request that you complete and return this postcard at your earliest convenience. A final RSVP request will be sent with our official invitation early next year. Thank you!

 

List your name(s) and email address:

_____ We don't think we can make it at this time, but we send you our best!

 

 

*** At the bottom I added our website address and password ~ I think it's a good idea to put your wedding website wherever you can so your guests will remember to check it out!

Thank you ~ we are actually planning on sending out passport invites. It will be pretty much a booklet that will have "the important stuff". They will of course include the important stuff ~ date, time, location of our welcome dinner, wedding ceremony, reception. Wedding attire suggestions. Any info on activities, a short list of essentials to bring on the trip (beach stuff) and what kind of weather to expect. Also probably a list of interesting facts about the area. Def. a reminder that a passport is needed and website to get passport info. And of course our wedding website ~ always a good idea to have your guests check out your website to get all the important stuff!

 

*** I've saved some info and pics on great passport invites, if you wanna see em to get a visual of the info I will be including PM me!!!

To print the envelope and logo sticker on the envelope, I used a regular HP officejet. But to print the actual passes and pass holder we had to use a laser printer because the paper was just too thick or slick (the cardstock and metallic paper). There are some really affordable and quality laser printers if you're thinking of upgrading!

Awesome Job! Did you use a rotary Fiskars paper cutter?
