I am almost done with my invites. I worked on them with one of my girlfriends last night. And I love them! Absolutely love them! There are things that did go wrong with my invitations, such as the cards didn't stack the way I intended, but overall I am happy with the final product! I DO apologize for the pics...I do have to blot out info to protect from snoopers. I wish I could show the final product as is to you all, but I I had to edit my profile name and my pics on here ever since I found out that an uninvited group of guests had been snooping on my WBC page! Sorry ladies for the Frankenstein-esque pics :(
My invite is a 5x7 pocketfold invitation with the following inserts:
- Location Map: I started by calling it a Directions Card, but the font I wanted to use made the word "Directions" look like "Direetions" because it is so cursive.
- Accommodations Card
- Registry Card:I know some people think it is rude/tacky to include a Registry card, and I respect everyone's opinion but this is what works for me!
- Website/Reception Card:Our reception is at the same location, so I just needed a little space to include info about that and about our website since it was created after the printing of the invite.
- RSVP Stamped Postcard:I will stamp each one of these (28 cents each) to be returned to me by May 1st. They can select their entree choice on the front of the card because my hotel needs each guest's choice before hand..that's just how they operate. Notice that I have numbered the front of each one to avoid having to decipher who's messy handwriting belongs to whom.
All of this is secured together with a "Monogram" Belly Band.
I understand my invitation is a bit non-traditional in more ways than one (hee hee), but I do love them. I put blood (paper and cardstock cuts), sweat, and tears into them!
I will be sealing them in an envelope with a Cute little monogram C on the flap. I will post more soon.
