I am thinking of using inkspun, but I heard that Michelle Clark is reasonable too.

hi everyone. Well Pre-Cana is over for us....it was for like 5 weeks, 2 hours each session ugg. We have to go to a mass tomorrow. Our proofs came in for the invitations!! We have a lot left though...we have to finish registering, pick out rings, figure out centerpieces, hotel accomodations, bridal att. gifts, hair/makeup..the list goes on. I am enjoying the planning because 5 months will be here before we know it!!!!! I am scheduling a trial (hair/makeup) with Spa Osio in Oceanside....anyone have experience with them??

wow, thanks so much! My FH is a graphic designer - and we did design them ourselves.
They were inspired by the invites on this site: http://www.studioapril.com/. They have beautiful designs.

Hi!! Here is a pic of DIY invite!! It is an excerpt of what we sent to the printer, so I apologize that the names are blocked out a a DO NOT REPRODUCE icon is written across it. What do you think??
great design, such a metro/classy feel!

I also finished Pre Cana on Sat. I actually liked it. Friday was a mass and then Sat. was the workshop - I guess thats what you can call it. The couple we had were funny and if you have it in Douglaston they serve good lunch!!
