Ok, so a few months ago I found an invitation design that I LOVED on invitationsbydawn.com. It was SO us and it fit the theme I am trying to incorporate into our wedding. It was a couple on a canoe in a lake. We got engaged after a romantic canoe ride on a camping trip. I ordered a sample. I hesitated to order because: #1 We are on a budget and I thought I should try to do the invitations myself to save money. #2 Our wedding is next March and I figured I had time.
Now I went on the website to check the prices again to compare to DIY ones and the invitation is nowhere to be found on the site! I feel so stupid for waiting. I am really sad. What do I do?

Yes, it almost looks like a water-color painting.

Try emailing or calling the company and asking if they still make it.

Re: INVITATIONS
its too soon to order in my opinion- i'd be too nervous to order this soon- so much has changed in my wedding planning in the past year! i think u will find something like it or the same one - no worries!
Thanks for the help girls. They no longer make it! I am really sad. It seemed so perfect for us. I hope I can find something similar. I really do wish that I had ordered it. Can anyone suggest any other sites for inexpensive invitations besides invitationsbydawn.com? TIA!

Re: INVITATIONS
OK, there is another invitation on the same site which is called 'Off the Dock' and has a picture of a dock over a lake. He proposed on a dock. This one is more expensive though! The other one was so much better. Is it crazy to be this upset over invitations?
Thanks. I will check that out. It was not that one. I can't even show you a pic now! It was a pretty picture of a lake with trees on the surrounding land and you could see the backs of the couple in the canoe. It looked like a bride and groom and there was a little cabin out on the land. Ok, I am starting to sound a little nuts obsessing over these invitations I can't get. I guess if I wanted them that bad, I should have ordered them. It never even crossed my mind that they would get rid of them!

Re: INVITATIONS
This is not a site but rather a place where I got my invites from - Just Announce It! in Oceanside- they were very reasonably priced and had invitations for all budgets... I was also very very happy with their service and I also used them for calligraphy as well.
They're also a LIW vendor.

Re: INVITATIONS
Maybe you can incorporate your theme into the STD cards? You can use a photo...and design it just the way you want. (That's what we did).
Good luck!

FH said the same thing! I just wasn't sure how we would go about the whole process. If I scan the whole thing, it has the 'sample' info. on it. I guess I could just scan the front pic. What about the little response envelopes and all of the little extras? Can I just do those myself? Thanks for all of the help everyone!
