Re: My First Attempt at my DIY Invitations

Love the colors and design and everything....but.... the wording of Mr. and Mrs. Richard and Linda seems a little weird.

Mr. Richard (blank) and Mrs. Linda (blank)
or
Mr. and Mrs. Richard (blank)

It just doesn't roll well on my tongue.
Or am I just not using my tongue right today?



I think (but I could be wrong) that Christine wants to make sure both of her parents and her FH's parents are honored by name BUT I do see BJ's point. Once a woman accepts her husbands last name as her own, the couple is known as Mr. and Mrs. Man's First Name and Last Name. There is typically no separation of parents first names on invitations unless they are divorced.

I think the invites are lovely. Good job. I love the colors.

The pocketfolds come made - all I had to do was attach the various sizes of paper.

It's honestly not hard at all!!
