What a project! I'm so glad we're done... DIY invites really are a lot of work, but we're so happy with the final product. We're going to mail them out sometime this week!!!

Here are some pics!

Pocketfold invite

Some close-ups

My mom's cat was very curious

Invite w/ all the inserts (and tissue paper with our picture on it)

Response card

Front of invite w/ bow

Back of invite... we cut slits on the back of the pocketfold and fed the ribbon through so it shows in the back.

A work in progress....

Ready to be mailed!!!

Thanks for looking!

Love love love these invites and they are very similar to what I want to attempt to make. Instructions please!!! And where did you buy all your materials?

Thanks girls!!!

I'm going to write up instructions and materials and post it in my original post sometime today.

BEANS - we're mailing them this week (prob thurs or fri) when we can get to the PO to have them hand cancelled.

Sunrise - we've been working on them for about 5 weeks, but a day here and there for a few hrs each time. It's hard work, but worth it for the $$$ saved!

Yes, I look forward to seeing the instructions and materials info also.

How much money do you save by doing these yourself?

Did you print them also or just assemble them?

Thanks for sharing!
