Hi All,

Now that I have finished designing my STD's I am thinking about invite design. So I am back to my lifeline, BDW, for advice. wink.gif (Please forgive the bad photoshop work, I am at work so I had to do it fast when inspiration struck.)

 

I found these SOOO cute STD's that I want to turn into a pocketfold invite with of course some modifications. Here is the STD:

So my thought I would change the matte color to orange and line around the picture to pink. The text around it would have our saying "a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step ~Lao Tzu" And the bottom would have our names, date and location.

 

Then because there isn't a lot of space to put text I was going to set a layer of vellum over the top, not attached to the invite, printed with the more traditional text/information like this:

Then the inserts, which still need some work, would look something like this:

And then the pocketfold would be sand colored and look kinda like this minus the pink ribbon and of course in the sand color (back side is on the left):

Then instead of the ribbon we would seal them up with clear, maybe orange, wax and an old fashioned M stamp. Kinda like this:

Finally we would place them in a clear envelope so the monogram on the backside of the pocket fold would show through. Might even put a bit of confetti in there to give it that pop. Something like this but with different confetti:

*whew* Wow that was a lot to get out. So am I crazy? What is way to over the top? Carla wink.gif

LOL Don't worry I will but it may take me a bit to make the actual template. Those were just some quick images I threw together in photoshop when I had the idea. Plus I promised SandDune a AHR invite template first. wink.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
