Finally Finished! My Semi-DIY Invitations with PICS!


Recommended Posts

Woo-hoo, girls! I AM SO EXCITED MY INVITATIONS ARE FINALLY DONE!!!

 

I am finally finished my kinda-sorta DIY Invitations and I couldn't wait to show them to you all, being as we are all such fans of seeing each other's handywork! While I love the Passport/Boarding pass and pocketfold invitations, I wanted to do something a little different and here is what I came up with!

 

First is a pic of the finished set, with the invitation top left, Guest Information Sheet top right, back of our RSVP Postcard bottom left and the little RSVP postcard/folded Guest Information sheet packets bottom right:

And here is a close-up of the sheer vellum Invitation we ordered from Invitations By Dawn.com, with the plain white & aqua deckle edge invitations I used as backings (ordered from David's Bridal online) -- which I then hole-punched and hand tied together with oatmeal colored "Wraphia" (looks just like raffia, but without all the mess!) from superiorgiftwrap.com:

In case you can't read it, the wording my mother and I co-wrote is as follows:

 

One love. Two hearts.

Their future starts, by the sea.

The honor of your presence is requested

At the marriage ceremony of

Christina Leigh Parris

and

John Allen Pollick

On Friday, May Fourteenth, Two Thousand and Ten

At Two O'Clock in the afternoon.

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Resort and Spa

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

 

The next pic is of the back of our custom RSVP postcards, done by one of BDW's very own (username: becks)! Her company is Allurements By Rebecca and she was positively FABULOUS to work with on creating exactly what I had envisioned). The front of the postcard is simply our logo, which can also be seen in my siggy!) and we ordered that adorable postage stamp to match everything from Zazzle.com:

And finally, here is the 1st of 2 Guest Information Sheets with Resort and Booking Info. (which I folded up, put the RSVP postcard on top and tied together with the same oatmeal Wraphia to form neat little packets). I LUCKED OUT completely when I found this letterhead on OfficeDepot.com, and it was almost identical to the invitations I had ordered separately from Invitations By Dawn months before!

Hope everyone likes them! I AM THRILLED that they have finally gone out in the mail this week...let the RSVP-ing commence! wink.gif

Everything looks beautiful Christie and ties in so well together!!! You're right Rebecca is awesome, I used her for some logos and she's the sweetest. I also used the same paper from Office Depot ~ it's a great design that really sets the mood wink.gif

Aww, MarieSam -- THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am really excited about the way everything turned out, and that's awesome that you loved the same letterhead I did (a case of great minds thinking alike, perhaps?) wink.gif

Thanks, girls for your opinions -- I really appreciate it!

Oh, wow -- that's neat that someone else used them, too! Did you post a thread about it? I'd love to see if you used them as they came or if you "doctored" them up like I did!

I appreciate everyone's kind compliments! blush2.gif

Christie everything looks great! I love the invitations, I ordered a sample of the exact invite and almost went with them! I really think your idea with the backing and the wrapia is awesome it makes your invite pop! And I think I will be off to Office Depot to get some of that paper!

    • 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!
