DIY invites WITH PIX

so, I ordered some samples of paper and attempted to make a DIY invite to see if its actually possible for me to do this or if i should look to order them thru a professional....let me know what you girls think! If I go this route, there are a few things I'd change, but please give ur feedback, good and bad - thanks!

Those are really pretty...I would maybe change the font of the wording on the invite..I love the font for your names but not so much the other font (to plain, imo)

I love it Denise~! If you go this route I'd love to know how you went about getting the samples and mounting the pages. I'm still not sure which route I'm going either and these give me hope that DIY might look really great too! Great Job!

I LOVE THEM!!!!

Very unique!!!

Def the nicest DIY invite I've ever seen!!

The only thing I would change is the color of the font. I'd make it darker. But it may be the lighting from the camera......

Impressive - you should totally go this route!

I think someone mention it above, but I would play with the colors of the font. Could be the camera flash - but the color right now doesn't seem to pop all that much.

Awesome job!

Re: DIY invites WITH PIX

thank you girls soooo much!!! I really appreciate the constructive criticism bc I know that sometimes I don't like to point out negatives bc u never know how the person is going to take it, so I appreciate all the help ladies!

I ordered all my samples from paper and more.com and the envelopes from paper presentation . Two other good sites are cards and pockets and mountain cow . I didn't order from those 2, but my friend did and loved the quality of the paper from there.

For adhesives, I found this adhesive which was awesome and if you place the paper wrong, you can easily move it.

Also, this website is awesome for getting free fonts!

thanks again ladies - you made me so excited!
