My Invitations Are Done!

[lurkyloo]

I am so excited about how they turned out!

I ran out of time to design them myself, so I copied a design I saw in a magazine. The invites and envelopes were letterpressed for free by a friend of mine who just started his own greeting card company, and I designed and printed the folders and itinerary/bus schedule cards myself. DF tied all the pretty little bows, and Martha Stewart contributed the etiquette-flouting mailing labels. (I figured I was already going to wedding-etiquette heck for not spelling out all the words in the dates and time, so why not go all the way?)

(The envelopes are our supersecret stealth third wedding color)

REALLY...interesting...i have a color laser printer though...so it's difficult to get paper for it without ordering it on the internet, and i can't take any longer to get these darned things out...

did you tie the ribbon around your inner envelopes? i might just do that???

 

[lurkyloo]

I think you could use the labels in your laser printer even if they're for ink jet - the paper ones, anyway. Dunno about clear cuz it's plastic. I used ink jet labels in a laser printer for our address labels and they came out fine!

Instead of an inner envelope I made a folder with an interior flap (it was just a trifold) and then tied the whole packet with a ribbon. I used a little double-sided tape under the ribbon on the back to keep it in place. I put the invite, the reply card and envelope, and the transportation schedule all inside the folder.

Hope this helps!

Wow, those are gorgeous!!! I really love your colors!!!

 

[IrishLily]

I love your invites! Did you actually print out the invites yourself (the design)? If you did...how did you get it to print all the way to the edge? And if not, where did you get them?
