Selection is crazy and so cheap!

I made mine.. they cost me $10 to make about 40 of them.  I have a picture of them on my page (but its not a good picture!)

i got my material from Hobby Lobby- JoAnn's has good stuff too.  I just used scrapbook paper.  The invitation is three layers.  The bottom layer, the flowers, is 6x6.  I got a few sheets of 12x12 scrapbook paper and cut them into 4 squares (i love scrapbooking, so i already had a paper cutter, glue, etc.).  Then the second layer, the brown was I think around 4 1/2 or 5 by the same, it doesn't matter what size, it just depends on how thick you want that border.  The third ivory layer is a dimension too, I can't remember- but i just used my cutter for all of these layers.  I printed on the ivory ones- in Word you can set the paper size to whatever size you cut your paper to, and then when you stick the squares in the printer move the little tab thing over to where its right next to the edge of the paper.  Then I just used a glue stick to do the layers, and that was it!  There are lots of variations, colors, sizes, layers, cute stickers, etc, that you could do!  Hope this helps, let me know if you need me to explain anything any more!

We're sending out jumbo lollipop invitations to our invitees because it's fun & sweet!  My reason for sending an invite in the first place was because half of the guests will be from out of town, so it just made it easier for a reminder for them.  But then, I just like having some type of note or reminder even if local.  The info is on my blog if you're bored one day & wanna check it out:)  Ultimately though...there is no wrong or right.  Don't worry about etiquette....just make sure everyone knows(via phone, evite, word of mouth, etc..) so that they can make arrangements to be there on time.
