Thanks ladies!

Yes, everything is done by us. We got the black linen paper from Neenah Paper (it was free, just had to pay shipping) and made the pocketfold. We have a ton of extra so we will use it for Programs, Placecards and part of the petal cones.

Then we mounted light yellow card stock and the invite onto the black paper and threaded the ribbon.

The insert cards took forever, but we finally got it right. We used a fancy card stock that we got Office Max. The hardes t part was Measuring the insert cards and keeping the under bars congruent, but after a while we got it. We have a ton of extra card stock for the programs and placecards.

We got the envelopes at Action envelope (actionenvelope.com) and they were fantastic, you can't see the black paper through the white envelope. The printed beautifully on my laser printer at work.

We did it all on a budget too!

OMG, I almost forgot the best part. We printed a copy of our favorite painting onto tracing paper and used it to place over the invite. This a mock up but you get the idea.
