The invitations made it safely to their destinations and guests are already beginning to RSVP through our website, meaning I can finally show them to my readers.I turned this red peony set from Target into our beautiful invitations. They were on clearance from $34.99 per box to only $6.70. I bought three boxes right away. Have I mentioned how much I love Target?
The contents of the 50 invitation kit were already fantastic alone, but just needed a little customization.
Since I had enough invitation sets to make 150 invitations when I only needed to make about 55, I was able to make mistakes and use sheets for multiple parts of the invite. For example, the cards meant for the RSVPs were also used for our save the dates. The extra sheets for the actual invitations were cut in half and used for the comment card.
Here was the result. I used the same fonts we used for all the stationary projects to maintain some uniformity. The envelope for the RSVP cards were embossed with a peony stamp.
Here is the actual invitation close up. Brandon's input in this was the "general merriment immediately following" part. I also included the address for our wedding website so that guests can have access to directions to the Nixon Library, our registries, RSVP, learn more about us and sign our online guest book.
Can you now see why I have been so proud of myself?
I'm using the same invitations! I'm currently working on my "Save the Date" design. What kind of printer did you use to print them (inkjet or laser?) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi! I used my HP psc 2110 inkjet printer. Please let me know if you need any help. I still have my old templates for the invitations, too.
