DIY Wedding
Invites...What do you think?

I just wanted to show you guys the finished product while I had a second. So busy....Almost there!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In response to the many questions.

I ordered the pocketfolds from www.cardsandpockets.com
I order white linen paper for the top layer and inserts and designed each piece in publisher.

I ordered white pearlized paper to print the striped motif on. (Yes created the striped pattern using text boxes...It took a little time but it was worth it...I saw an invitation from www.invitationconsultants.com and I ordered a sample and it just wasn't worth the money so I created my own striped pattern and it is incorporated in my favors and programs as well.)

I ordered outer and inner envelopes from www.invitationsbydawn.com for mailing.

I had all of the layers and inserts cut at Staples so the cuts looked professional.

I used permanent adhesive to assemble the layers.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask...Thanks!

And these were mailed out weeks ago, I just found the time to take a picture of them

I found the Scriptina and BlackJack fonts at www.dafont.com
