So FH helped me resize these pics (they were HUGE) and here they are. Here are the invitations with ribbons tied by my mom (thanks Mom!) and the envelopes with the faux wax seals that FH and I made ourselves (love you Kris! )
Love those invites! They are exactly what I am looking for. Would you mind sharing where they are from, style number... FM me!

Thanks ladies! I actually had fun assembling them. Mom tied all of the ribbons. She calls herself a 'bow-ologist'

Juliet- They look gorgeous!! Your guests will love them. One question did you glue your wax seals directly on the envelope. I am still debating this. I made some seperately and thought I would glue them on in case I made any mistakes but I tried mailing some to myself and they didn't come back to me so great. Would you mind telling me what you did? Thanks!

I made the wax seals on a nonstick baking sheet, put them in the freezer to harden (after the initial hardening) and then when we glued them onto the envelopes, we put the glue on the seal and let it sit for almost a minute, so it got a little tacky and then we glued them. They stuck better this way and then we did a test run where we slammed the edges of the envelopes into each other to see if they would lift and they would need a LOT of abuse to lift
I think there is a special craft glue that is supposed to be really good too, because it is sticky

Thanks Juliet. What glue did you put on the back of the seal? The glue sticks?
