Weddingbee boards

I finished designing my invites tonight. Finally. They were supposed to be done and go out on Friday, but then, bad things happened, and images were grainy, and I had to start all over. We are printing them ourselves. It would probably help if I would have any design ability whatsoever, but paper was not high on our priority list. Thus:

 Even though they're fairly plain, it took forever. We wanted them to be simple but naturey. They're a little more old fashioned style than I originally wanted, but it was hard to find an image that was free and looked good and fit the overall style. I originally designed an enclosure with reception information, but it never looked quite right and didn't have enough information to be useful, so I caved and set up a website tonight, too.

If anyone is interested, I got the clip art from an open source website. The fonts are French Script and Bell. We decided that the black and white image looked too flat so I added the green using the glow format feature in Power Point, which is how I designed them. I know you're all jealous of my mad design skillz.

Total cost for 100 invites: $22.00 and hours of my life I'll never get back. ;)

@ijustrockout: I don't know if I'd say mine were a labor of love, but I am pleased with how they turned out! Good luck with yours. At least the expectations are probably low for mine haha.

@Amaryllis: If I had seen a design like that, I would have picked it.

@helenberrycrunch: Thanks!

@Bostonsmom: No idea, but it's as good as it gets. We have friends with a print shop.

@bells: They're already getting printed, but whatever. I'd rather be overly polite than not enough.

Thanks for the comments, bees!
