they look great!!!! I think the ribbon is to thin I think it would look better with a thicker ribbon

Thanks! Yea, I should have bought a few diff kinds of ribbon to see which looks best. I'm going to check out Michael's to see what other kinds they have.

Anywhere else I can look for ribbon in nassau besides AC Moorea and Michaels?

Re: SAMPLE #1: Our DIY Pocketfold Invites (w/ pics)!!!

okay seriously... they're so pretty that i'm wondering if i could do that because i like them so much. Stupid question, but did you just print them on your computer printer? How did you do the invitation part with the initial and all? I feel like i wouldn't know where to start!!!

Please help!

Yes, FH designed them in photoshop and fed the invite through the printer. I think he just used a very light pink for the C in the background and that's how it came out. He's really good w/ photoshop, so i'm not sure. We have an epson and it prints really well.

Thanks!! FH took one of our e-pics, put it in photoshop and faded it. Then he printed them on the tissue paper through our printer.

He designed it in photoshop and printed a few on a page (cardstock paper)... then we cut them down to size and pasted them on the outside (top flap) of the pocketfold.
