Finished customizing invites...with pics!

I am so excited! After stressing over the invites, I finally finished customizing them and they are ready to go out next week.
I had them printed by Rexcraft, design by me...hope you like them! Thanks to those who helped me when I nearly lost my mind a few weeks ago. The invites were seriously the hardest part!

ETA:
The blue paper is the tissue insert, I bought blue tamarind leaf handmade paper and cut it to size. The invite features our wording in Spanish and English...I used silk ribbon in a blue/gray from Kate's Paperie (that's where I bought the supplies) and an exacto knife to cut the slits.

Thank you SO much everyone - I am glad that you like them...if you're pleased then my guests will surely like them (no one is harder to please than us girls!).

The blue ribbon is the reason why I decided to customize...most companies just don't have blue, I guess it hasn't become really popular so I found lots of periwinkle and navy, but not light blue. Since my colors are silver (the ink is silver) and blue (the ribbon) I had no choice but to exacto knife each one...the funny thing is that no one will notice - I showed them to my FMIL and she thought they came like that...oh well...us LIW girls know the truth and the lengths we'll go for the 'ideal' invite!
