I have pretty much decided I will make my own invites for my (well our) wedding. Being a scrapper and all it will be no problem! However I am looking for as many ideas as possible before I decide on what I want to do!!! So please share your ideas,links and your own invites if you made them!! I think I am leaning towards a mickey/minnie theme!

Grover: How fun! I've received quite a few handmade wedding invitations and they're always lovely, and so personal! And I used to sell wedding invitations and bridal gowns, so combining weddings & scrapping is my idea of fun!! :teeth:

One idea that came to mind is something I did when scrapping my best friend's wedding (they went to WDW for their honeymoon). I used circle punches to make two black mouse heads, then added a black top hat and black bow tie to one and a white ear bow and a veil made of vellum to the other. They turned out pretty cute ... I'd even go so far as to say classy (in a Mickey sorta way!). If you and your df are going somewhere tropical for your honeymoon, you could send your gift thank-yous with Mickey and Minnie heads wearing tropical flowers -- a punched-flower lei for Mickey and a flower behind the ear for Minnie! ;)

Ooh! I just thought of something else! Do you stamp at all? The company I rep for, Close to My Heart, makes a set of stamps that includes 2 circle swirls that, when used together, make a neat Mickey head. You could stamp them on paper with clear embossing ink and sprinkle black or silver (or any other color -- maybe one of your wedding colors?) embossing powder on them and heat set them. Then you could print your invitation on vellum and attach it on top of the Mickey-embossed paper with a pretty white or silvery organdy ribbon. That would be elegant and easy! Any other enclosures (such as your reply cards and thank yous) could be done the same way!
 
Thank you for the fabulous ideas! I am not sure if wedding will be onsite or not but we are honeymooning (well I call it familymooning) at disney... so both of your ideas would work...I am actually hoping for a swan/dolphin wedding so I can work in a tropical theme as well if need be!
Thanks!
