I totally forgot to post these! Forgive the bad photo quality! Note: The green envelopes, invite & inserts are all the same color - most like the first envelope pic. We used 3 different ribbon/flower combinations for the pocketfold.

LOVE IT!!! If you don't mind me asking, if you break it down...how much did it cost to make each one? I am considering making my own, but am worried that it's not going to cost much less than if I just ordered them. Also, where did you order the folder/cardstock?

Thanks ladies! I bought the cardstock, pocketfolds and envelopes at Paper Presentations in NYC. I think you might be able to shop around for a better deal on the cardstock and envelopes, but I loved the color and had no patience. For the price... I'll have to think about that one. We spent $270 or $280 on the paper stuff (although I have some extra that I can still return. After that I needed glue, ribbon and flowers. All of that was bought with Michael's coupons of course! And then stamps, but I guess you need that no matter who does it so that might not count. I honestly have no idea how much they cost if you order them so I don't know what the difference would be.

Thanks so much for the info! The style that you made is probably more like 350-400 (I think), so you're saving a little bit...but I'm sure if you're the crafty type (like me), it's a lot of fun! :)
