DIY Invites are done!!!

So excited I am on my way to the post office to mail my invites. They where a lot of work some parts fun and some parts very painful, lol....... I hope they make it to everyones house in one piece. Hope you like them...
Going to post some here but most times I can not get them to post. Otherwise they are in my album...

Re: DIY Invites are done!!!

I'm so jealous!!!
I keep debating about doing my own invites, but truthfully i wouldn't even know where to begin!
did you do your own printing and cutting?
What are the necessities in DIY invites?
You did such a Good Job, congratulations!

I used the xyron to put the layers of paper together, silver layer and black layer and the actual invite and also to secure it all to teh pocketfold. The machine pretty much truns everything into a sticker.

Re: DIY Invites are done!!!

I did everything myself. At first I had them printed and cut at staples. The printing was so light and the cutting was note even so I re- did everything. To begin you should go to paper presentation in the city and get some paper to use for samples to give your self an idea of what you would want to do. If you need any help feel free to let me know.
