My Semi-DIY Invitation Completed!!

[LoLo62808]

Hey y'all,

I've been on a posting frenzy. I've posted some of the actual invitation already, but I've since finished the RSVP and Information packet. I got a lot of my ideas from you ladies and I want to thank you all!

If you had questions about how I did everything let me know.

Thank you all!

Once I figured out the style of the invite I wanted, I would say total time for each one, after printing, cutting, taping, and tying.. took about 5 minutes. But it's really hard for me to judge time because I would do it in batches.

I would cut all the silver card stock (8.5 x 11 cut into 4 sections), cut all the vellum, hole punch it, run ribbon through it and tie on the charm.

While these have been the most time consuming to make, I definitely love the way it turned out.

Ya it does sound time consuming but, I bet once you get going you can get a bunch done. Thanks for the bit of info about yours. It sounds more achievable now. Congrats on marking one more thing off the list!!

These are very beautiful. Where did you get the paper for your information packet?

I got them from Michael's they are called "Metallic Silver" they are in the scrapbooking section with the loose paper. It's a regular 8.5 x 11 paper that I cut into even 4ths.

ALSO: I sent the invites out last monday and I'm already getting RSVPs back! They also have called my FMIL and let her know that they wanted to know where I got my invites done, many are astonished that I did these myself! Hah... it made me feel good for once today..(I've had a bad week!)

You did an amazing job. That design is totally professional. I'm sure you could make money designing those for other people. In fact, you will probably get requests soon!
