My Invites are OUT!! **UPDATED WITH PICS!!**
Wow was that ever a labor of love!! I am so happy that they are done! It took FOREVER!
A note to girls assemling their own pocketfolder style invites - give yourself a full month and don't procrastinate!! It really took forever. My invites seriously took about 16 steps to assemble and I did all 150 of them myself (more because Im too an@l and I didnt think my BP would do them 'perfect..' -which is a lesson learned in itself cause i def didnt make them perfect either..![]()
)
I cannot stress how accomplished I feel about this! I worked SOO hard with the printer to come up with the design - then was so sad when there were many unproffesional mistakes when i first received them. Sent them back and had them reprinted. Still not 100% happy but only little stuff that I would notice. Anyway to make a long story short after all of that and 3 weeks of tedious assembly I am SOO SOOO SOO excited that they are out!!![]()

ETA: the invite itself, belly band, and response card were designed by myself in conjunction with the printer. it was based off another design i saw on another site - i was quoted on the design but the printer backed out but wouldnt give me the design. this interpretation is the result.
pocketfolders were custom designed for me by Becky at cardsandpockets.com - I love her and would recommend her to anyone. they were barely more expensive than the stock ones that she sells on the site.
finally the inserts, envelopes, and stamps were designed by me based on the rest of the invite, my monchromatic reds scheme, and my touch of paisley theme.
Anyway I CANNOT wait to get the responses back!!
**UPDATED WITH PICS** Sorry for so much blurries - FH is very private and he would HATE if any of our personal information was viewable - sorry folks!
