DIY project that is! Finished invites too! Yeah me!
Sorry for all the pics but I worked on the damn things for 3 mos (too bad they have to be all blurry and web-safe).
Used the background from one of Anna Skye's templates (Thanks!) and did the design in InDesign. Made custom pocketfolds (looove that paper) and bellybands.



AWESOME! I'm doing my own, too. What kind of glue did you use? All I have is paper so far.
These are really just beautiful!
OMG use a glue stick...don't use those tape rollers with the double sided tape. I had to redo a bunch of the pockets because the tape started to loose it's hold after a day or so. How embarrassing would it be to send someone an invite that fell apart?!
Aweosme- just a regular glue stick. THANK YOU!!!!
You did a great job with yours. i can only hope mine come out half as nice!
This are beautiful. I am still working on the save the dates and am dreading how long the invites will take
Where did you find that template? I clicked the user's link but it didn't work :o( It looks very similar to the print on my BM dresses!
@TXNHBride: Sorry - wrong link! The templates are on her website - you can find it on her profile info (for some reason I can't link to it).
Gorgeous! I love those!!! Great work! I'd be really excited about your wedding if I were a guest!
Ooooo! I love those! You are good!
Quick question, is that a ribbon wrapped in paper for the belly band? Did you use a glue stick to glue that together too? I've never seen a belly band like that (I guess I haven't been keeping my eyes open!) and I'd like to try it!
Wow!! they look great....totally professional looking....I can't believe you made them all yourself!
@xoxokristin: Yeah it's a ribbon with paper attached. I just used a heavy duty glue stick. I probably could have used hot glue but I wanted to be able to fold them after I glued them together.
@bluebutterfly: I just printed them on my color printer - it's a canon that can print photo quality. I had to handfeed a lot of pages (2 per invite x 70 = way too many hours by the printer)
Those look amazing!! Looks like you had a professional invite place do them!
