My FH and I have looked througha billion invite mags and we've come to our conclusion.
I'm very craft. I love to make stuff and all that, and thought what better way to give people something that they can keep.
We're goign to have somebody (a friend) take a billion pics of us in front of the garden as out engagment picture. Have it cropped the way we want it and have it printed on card stock. Over top of that we have a frosted laminated with all our info for the invite on it. Now the picture of us is the light backround behind the writing.
Polk 2 holes into the 2 pieces and tie it with a pink ribbon of the same colour pink we'll be using.
This way the guest can remove our info and put it up somehwere to remind thema nd they'll have our engament picture at the same time with the lovely pink ribbon.
The cost is going to be quite inexpensive.

That is an awesome idea and a great way to personalize your invites!!! My only suggestion is to get started early, because it will take along time and if you wait to long you will feel pressured and won't enjoy it as much!!!

That is a lot like how I was thinking of doing my invites. I got my inspiration from the below picture. Great idea!

To be completly honest, i haven't even thought that far ahead yet. i've decided on save the dates that are only going out to a tiny amount of guests, cause i tend to talk to most of the guests on a regular basis. As for the programs i really don't know yet. I';ll probably just get this idea, end up at staples on some idle weekday night and come home and start printing. lol
