As promised, here are pics of my DIY invites!!!!! I love how they came out!!

The pics are a little blurry and they don't do the invites justice. Also, they came out more yellow in the pics because of the lighting. In person they are a pretty cream color, not yellow.

The invitations are triple layered with linen cardstock (bottom layer is shimmery linen, middle layer isn't linen) and the RVSP and Reception cards are double layered linen cardstock. For the Accommodations and Directional card I made them single layer out of linen cardstock. Also, the directional card is double sided (I have a map of the Old Field Club on the other side). Whew! I am so thrilled that this project is over!

Tomorrow (Thurs) I am stuffing them and I plan on getting them in the mail on Friday!!!!

What do you think of them????

eta: I got thermography printing done through Reaves Engraving (recommended to me by LIW bride mariedsgn who also used them for her DIY invites). I highly recommend them for anyone looking for thermography printing for DIY invites. I sent them my paper and files that contained my invite, RSVP, and reception cards layouts that I created and they did thermography printing on my linen paper. It came out beautiful!!! Thank you mariedsgn for the recommendation!!
