My Damask Invitations!

I found these invites at Michaels and knew they would be perfect. Now that they are completed and mailed, I thought I would share a few words of wisdom with you:

1.) TAKE THEM TO KINKOS. I've talked to many other brides who have used these kits, and like me, they had HORRIBLE problems printing them at home. We fought for HOURS with margins and page sizes, until we finally gave up and took them to Kinkos. Best decision we ever made! It cost me about 10 dollars to print all 150 invites and reception/direction cards.

2.) Use an outer envelope. My mom suggested we get outer envelopes, because although the seals are cute, they tend to "un-stick" easily and she was afraid cards would get lost in the mail. We ended up buying black linen outer envelopes, and they work great!

misstiff- I've heard they're sold out almost everywhere.  We bought ours about three months ago, and I haven't seen them back in the store since!

Can I ask where you got your outer envelopes? I'm having trouble finding a black 7.5 x 5.5 outer envelope. Thanks.

i have these invites. we had to drive an hour to another michaels just to get 4 packs of them. they are cute though.

the ribbons are a pain in the ass to tie! we took the double stick tabs and put 2 on each side to keep it in place, on the envelopes.

we had problems printing address on the return envelopes. and we got rid of those ribbons, and they look (imo) way better.

that kinkos idea is a good one though. i should do that for the addresses.

These are really cute invitations!  Your mom is so right to advise the outer envelope.  Dasmask and chocolate invitations & programs are usually out of stock in Micheal's now because it's so popular.  So I'm happy for you that you found exactly what you wanted! :)

Like hellodara I had to drive a hour to next nearest Micheal's to get 3 more packs of chocolate programs.  What a pain but well worth it!

I am using these as well, but have not gone to Kinko's yet - I have a few months.  Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a few extras???  I bought 120 thinking it would be more than enough, but the wedding list has since grown!  I need 10 -15 more and I am willing to purchase them from you.  Just don't want to go searching for an entire box of them since they are hard to find!
