My DIY invites with silk pockets (update with even more pics)

Recap: My co-worker and I designed the invites and had them printed letterpress at a place in CA for such a great price!!!

I got my silk invite pockets and they are gorgeous! They only took 3 days to get here!!! I bought silk ribbon in the garment district.

Thank you! I wish I could have given them to everyone but I couldn't afford that, so only the bridal party get them! But I'm still glad I did it!

Haha, yeah, I actually wish they went a little higher so all you could see is the heart, but oh well. Yeah, I bought the boxes to go with the silk pockets, so Im going to put them in the box and put the box in a padded envelope or another box. FH can mail them UPS from work without paying anything. So that helps. Hopefully all goes well.
