We are already thinking of making a few changes... not sure I like the black thick line going around the direction & accom cards. Maybe a thinner line or a double line? Also, not sure of the bow we chose for the outside, maybe a thicker bow?
Tissue paper w/ our pic printed on it... hard to get a good pic of it.
ETA: Instructions/supplies!
I won't lie... it's a PITA, but we saved over $500 by doing them ourselves!! We got the white invite cards & response cards from exclusivelyweddings.com. Pocketfolds are from invitesbyyou.com. We got the cardstockpaper (accom cards & Directions) from Staples and cut them to size w/ a paper cutter. Ribbon & glue is from Michael's.
WOW JESS!!! I think they look AWESOME! My response date is the same hehehe! I am also unsure about the black border on the direction card, but without it I think it will be missing something. GREAT JOB!!
they look great. I am kicking myself right now for not creating my own accom. cards...I just used what the hotel gave me, but your's is far more informative.
I love them!! I am doing black and Pink invitees as well. Where do you buy all the stuff to make them. Is it hard?
I don't think you need to make any changes, they are perfect. They look like you spend a fortune on them.

piggybacking on your post:
We also went the DIY route w/invites. Had we bought them already made - they would've run us at least $8 per invite - we bought the supplies and it cost us $300 in total - saving us $500.
Like I said on the 'other' site Jess, they are awesome. You guys did such a great job! It's amazing how much you save, isn't it. Totally and completely a pain in the arse, but when the finished product looks so good, your soooooo happy! Great Job, Really!!!! People are never going to believe you did those yourself!
