    I have spent days pouring through website after website trying to find an invite that fits. I want them to be able to tie into my STD's that I made, with the photoshop assistance of a fellow bee (which I have attached.) I have only found one that I really really want and I love them but they are $700 for 60 of them and thats not something I am willing to swing. I was hoping you ladies could shoot me some ideas, I am not at all opposed to DIY either. You guys always pull miracles when helping me so I thought I would turn to you yet again =)

    How about these on a different color paper, like ecru or tan to match your STDs, with the names in a different font (the font your names are in on the back of your STDs)?

    These are invites to the world series of poker but they have that awesome glam feel you have, with the gold...

    Oh, I love Royal Steamline! They've got some fun stuff.

    Not sure about her prices, but maybe check out Promise Tangeman? She does the modern collage style really well. Or Lindsey Ryan? Her style is a little more baroque/whimsical.

    Thank for all the suggestions and compliments ladies!!

    @crebre80 - I am seriously considering trying to replicate them but I think they may be a little out of my league. The black is black and cream checkerboard (swooooon) they rounded edges kinda scare me lol

    You need a round corner cutter. Just go to michaels. And you will have those round corners in no time.

    You could totally DIY those! Just get a stock photo of an old playing card (iStockPhoto has lots), burn the edges to get the black look (try a couple different textured brushes too!). Make the black go all the way to the corners and then the edge punch will make it really easy. The other stuff can be done with some good fonts and the stroke tool.

    You can totally do it :) Go for it!!
