After waaay too many months of revisions, revisions, and more revisions, FH and I finally created an invitation we love and are in the process of mass producing (a much longer job than anticipated!). We've made some small tweaks since I took pictures, but it's pretty much what we'll be sending out. I don't post new threads too often, but this is such a HUGE thing to cross off the list, that I had to share.
Everything looks awesome. I especially love your menu..and what's on it

Re: Invitations, finally!!!
Thanks everybody!!! When you look at a project for so long you begin to have doubts about it. It's so nice to get some positive feedback.
jeneric711: Did you mean double side tape the outer envelope or the pocketfold??

I now feel like I should run a paper store after all the paper research I did. I went through more paper options than I care to think about!!! I think I spent more money on 'test paper' than on the whole entire finished product combined!!!
I ended up using paper from a bunch of different sources...
The vine looking paper underneath the actual invitation is from Michael's. It's scrapbooking paper.
The other burgundy backing paper is heavy cardstock from a store in the city called Print Icon. It was on clearance and I got more than I could ever use for like $15. I will have this paper for the rest of my life!!!
