Inviting ideas…

Posted in General | 27 May, 2011 — Comment

Wedding invites weren’t high on my list of “wedding wants” I am far too practical to obsess about paper and embellishments – shoes on the other hand…well you’ve seen my posts 😉

Some of our very talented forum girls have created their own invites from scratch! Or found some beautiful ready made ones. Craig and I wanted something simple, elegant and relatively low-fuss. So I decided to go the DIY option with this one. I played around with some fonts and graphics and created a monogram – added a little red and voila!

My foray into the world of graphic design – our wedding monogram

The are a DL size – so I don’t have to worry about extra postage, there will be 3 cards or varying sizes, one is the invite, one is a map and some advice about the venue and one is our wishing well card.

I found the right coloured card at Discount Wedding Papers – with matching envelopes and will probably tie it all together with a red ribbon. Will have my camera handy when I start DIY-ing. I am thinking of printing these at home, but will do some trial runs first.
