Wedding Invitation - Done, Done and Done - well one is done....DIY

Done, Done and Done - well one is done....DIY

After months of trying to decide on an invitation, I finally did it...Thank God! I can now move on to bigger and better things :) !

I really wanted to pay attention to the wording on my invite to make it meaningful. My fiance and I were friends for several years before we realized that we had a spark...so..the beginning of the invite reads:
In Celebration of a friendship turned into love, New Family, and New Beginnings.....etc I love it :)

July 26th - all invitations are in the mail! yessssssssss :)

Looks fabulous! Love the colors.

These were well worth the wait. Very pretty! Where did you get your pocketfolds?

WoW!! These look great! Would you be willing to share any words of wisdom to make these????

I got my pocket-folders through a company called "paper-duvet" however, if you're lucky to know anyone that is a member of "direct-buy", talk to them. Direct-buy is a wholesaler that offers name brands at 50-70 % off the regular price. Also, if you're just moving into a new house or renovating your house, it's WELL worth it. The fee for a membership to direct buy is about 5 thousand dollars (i think).
BUT....... we just bought our dining room furniture for 2g's cheaper than what it was at the actual store. My parents made the membership money back plus some in their kitchen cupboards alone. It's insanely ridiculous how much mark-up there is in stores.
The Pocket folders were about %60 off. Needless to say, I also bought monogramed napkins!
Everyone who I talked to advised me not to try to make my own pocket folders...pain in the @ss.....
The sparkly brown damask paper was bought at Michaels - It's expensive so it's just used for the trimmings.
I downloaded a 30 day trial of adobe photoshop. (which is intimidating but not so bad once you get the hang of it)
Lastly, I used a place called Printer.ca to print my stuff. They're great to work with and a family friend who used to be in the printing business recommended them by saying he wasn't sure how they still stay in business with their prices.
I hope that helps!

very nice job. They look great!

Awesome job on those! they look great.

it's so pretty...i love the bling...

these look great!! The little rhinestone on the P is that a sticker or did you glue that on? I am interested in using a rhinestone on mine and was trying to find sticky ones to no avail?

best wishes

I adore your invites, Im looking for something similiar can you
give some info how you did them.

my daughter has chosen this as the invitation for her wedding. I went to direct buy but they tell me they only sell the complete invitaion, printed etc.) It was a paper duvet product they were selling but not just the pocket. Do you have a retailer that will sell just the pockets from Paper duvet??
