DIY Stuff w/ PICS!! Please Comment!! Invites & Menus
Hey ladies!! I just wanted to get some opinions on my invites & menus!! I like constructive critisism so feel free to tell me anything, if you think I should re-word something or whatever advice you may have, I'm open to it. I want to print my invites in the next two weeks or so and after going thru many, many designs FH and I have settled on this one. They are going to be Black pocketfolds with metallic silver backing on the invite. I'm not sure if I want to put some sort of jewel embellishment or something on it so like I said, suggestions are welcome!! I'm also including my menus even though I haven't gone for my final appointment yet, I wanted to nail down the format so when I DO go for it I can just plug stuff in, print and assemble. Those will be white paper on purple (hopefully darker then the photo) and lime green.
So here's everything....this is going to be a long one!!
iNVITE
INSERT ONE
INSERT TWO
INSERT THREE
INSERT FOUR
AND THIS IS WHAT THE POCKETFOLD WILL LOOK LIKE WITH THE INSERTS ALL LAYERED ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER, THE POCKETFOLD OPENS VERTICALLY.
AND HERE ARE THE MENUS
Sorry everything is so LARGE!!
Thanks for looking girls!!!

Re: DIY Stuff w/ PICS!! Please Comment!! Invites & Menus
Looks great! my only comment is that i noticed some things on your menu are capitalized in the middle of the line and others arent. Not sure if that's correct or not. looks great though!

Re: DIY Stuff w/ PICS!! Please Comment!! Invites & Menus
THANK SO MUCH FOR ALL THE COMPLIMENTS!!!
You ladies are awesome!!
Beachbum & Mizzdimple: If you want me to design some stuff for you seriously, I'm totally open to it. I like doing monograms and stuff, gives me something to do at work....besides work
And....yes kslmbuggie, I'm going for a bit of a darker, different look, if you want to call it goth, that's cool.
AND I will add the year to the RSVP's....I didn't even think!! haha.

I will make sure to double check my capitalization!! Thanks for pointing that out!!
This is why I do this...when you look at something for SOOOOO long you don't even see the mistakes.
Thanks

I don't know if it should be capitalized but just be consistent.... for example you have: "Grilled Eggplant" but "Sliced tenderloin" and then "Assortment of Marinated & grilled.." and "Belgian waffle"
I'd probably go with just capitalizing the first word unless it's a proper name, but if you want to capitalize the first 2, or the name of each food that's cool too. Whatever you want!

I actually used CorelDraw, but you can use photoshop as well, I'm just more adept at Corel because that's what we use at work. I find the interface a little more simplified in Corel which is awesome for some projects but not so good for others.

Re: DIY Stuff w/ PICS!! Please Comment!! Invites & Menus
I love it! I wish I knew how to do those menus! I keep trying and they get worse and worse lol
Did you put the border on? or did you attach it to the menu? If that makes any sense lol

It's just a box that I put around the menu to show how it would look when it's all printed & assembled. The colored background will be colored carstock layered with the white cardstock of the menu.
ETA: If you would like me to give you a hand in designing some menus, I can do that and send you a file that you would be able to just print out onto cardstock.
