First off, I was going to have them printed....im going through a lot and thought i placed the order and were waiting for them....turns out i didnt

So, i was going to hald DIY them, i ended up DIYing the whole thing.....

I did them in 3.5 days working with no sleep.....Not what i envisioned but good enough

everything was printed on white linen cardstock. Invite and rsvp were matted onto the white stardream carstcock....and the trifold is the champagne stardream color...

i made 120 invites, and i still have a lot of scrap left over for othe projects

totoal cost -approximately $330
rsvp envelope stamps were 41 cents
invite envelope stamps were 75 cents but i just put on 80cent stamps to bbe safe and bc it was one large stamp as opposed to 2 smaller ones

this is my mockup so its not all even and straight but you guys get the idea...i repeat, just the mockup so its not perfect

outer part of invite

quote says

Love fills the moment
and the moment begins eternity
Love fills a lifetime
and a lifetime begins this hour

opened up...main invite in the center
direction and accom card to the left, rsvp to the right

i love the jewel detail on the outer ribbon and i really like how you used the photo corners to hold the cards on the side flaps... really beautiful work
