Whew!! I finished all my DIY invites along with inserts last night/this morning at 1:30am!! I will post pics later today or tomorrow to show you girls.
It seriously was a HUGE undertaking and I am SO happy that I am finally done! They literally took over my life and took me a few months to complete. Now all I need to do is stuff the invites (which I'm doing tomorrow) and mail them!!
Also, I got calligraphy done on my envelopes by an Etsy seller and they will be delivered tomorrow!!! (I posted pics below of one of my envelopes she sent me a pic of). I LOVE how the calligraphy came out!!!!!!!
Also, FH and I signed the lease last weekend for our first apartment together!!! We LOVE it! It has hardwood floors throughout, washer/dryer IN our actual apartment, along with dishwasher and all stainless steel appliances. We also have access to an inground pool in our complex!!!!!
Yay for lots of checks!!!!!!!!! This has been a good week!!!
Congrats!!!!!! Your apartment sounds amazing! Where is it?

Thank you!!! I didn't mean to scare you!! i did enjoy making the invites, it's just that they were time consuming and my deadline date of mailing them out (this weekend) was quickly approaching so I felt rushed. I started them in December but I didn't dedicate as much time as I should have to them in the beginning so the past month and a half have been very busy with cutting all the paper and putting everything together. Also, my main invite was a triple layer invite with a ribbon tucked in between layers 2 and 3, and then my RSVP and Reception inserts were double layer, and then I also made double sided directional cards and an accomodations card. It's just that there are a lot of components to invites so it's takes some time to put everything together. I am happy that I ended up making my own. I love how they came out!!
