Finally!! I am done with the Invites, it took forever and many times throughout the process I wanted to just give up and buy some invites. But after reading so many DIY threads it kept me motivated to make them. Thanks to all the Brides on this forum for their help and templates and Alyee of Alyee Bits for the template! All said and done I love them and I am glad we did them - they were less than $200 for 150 invites!!

 

Here they are my first DIY project all done!! Yeahh!!

 

Here is the envelopes and the front of the Boarding pass ticket jacket

I used a paper cutter to cut them all out, and we tried to perforate them but it took forever and we couldn't get it to look perfect, so we stopped doing them. I used a corner rounder punch to do the edges but that was pretty frustrating - I'm not sure if it was just mine but it would ruin some of them, then I cut with scissors the inside nook. I used a Martha Stewart fold tool to fold the jacket perfectly. I did a mail merge with clear labels, return address labels on vista print with our logo and regular business size envelopes it fit perfectly!

 

So glad to have them all done - it was a lot of work but I am glad I did it!!

New Yorkie - I just found it online somewhere I just searched papel picado, and then I used the washout function so it wouldn't be so bright. Hope it helps!

 

Here is the one I used

They look wonderful!!

 

I was just nodding my head reading about how you wanted to give up and it was such a big job but totally worth it. I did the same thing and the corner punch made me want to lose my mind!

 

Perforating was a b*tch too! If you did it too hard it would be floppy.

 

I had originally planned to do passport invites as well but after that, I have promptly hired someone with more sanity than me to complete them 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!
