Wedding Invitation
a Godsend!

I have been searching and searching and I just couldnt seem to find the right invitations! Invitations may only be a small part but they have such a big job! It is the first impression your guests will have of the theme of your wedding! Now I have a vintage/rustic theme however, the underlying theme is peacock.

Normally peacock is associated with glam and glitz but I have been determined to have a hometown-ohio valley- peacock wedding that is rustic AND chic! Now trying to communicate that in an invitation, not as easy as i had hoped. All the vintage invitations were cute, but for that retro look, the colors would always be too pastel for me [my colors are light green and navy blue].

UNTIL,

I was searching on Etsy and found these!!! They have a vintage/layed back feel and they are still peacock!!! I was so so so happy! FH didnt really care haha but I am so pumped!

The only thing is, this is just a design that I purchase and then I print it myself. While I will save money doing it this way, I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. I obviously dont want to mess up my wedding invitations. Any tips????

Also, I dont know if i told you ladies, but i moved into my new appartment last week and I love it! I have a room to myself that FH can come over and hang out in! I mean, we always had his house as a hang out place, but now I can cook him dinner at my place if we want! My room is mostly pink, lime green and orange haha. I dont know if you can see my classy pics of Audrey Hepburn in the background... I've tried to do just a little decorating to make myself feel at home. I'll post more pics next time ;)

Happy planning ladies!

Congrats on getting your own apartment.

I love the invitations and you can either print them yourself (cons you also have to cut the cardstock as well), go to Office Max or Depot, or you can use VistaPrint

These are great!! I made my own invitations and was terrified about printing them too. Until i found this website:
http://www.lcipaper.com/blog/printing-invitations-with-your-computer.html

It shows you step by step how to set up Word and your printer to print on invitation size paper. I bought blank invitations and envelopes from Michaels to use and it was really easy!

I'd definitely suggest printing on regular printer paper a few times to make sure everything is lining up before using your card stock.

Good luck!
