    I think they turned out so nicely, and I wanted to share and get opinions (not that I can change anything now!)  I got the materials for my invites from Paper Source and managed to get enough for 80 invitations for $165!

     

    Here is the whole invitation suite:

    Here are the gold envelopes that I lined using their envelope liner templates with blue paper that I watermark stamped with a flower print

    And here is a picture that shows the embossing that I did on the response cards and invites.  (the embossing powder is the greatest thing ever!  Use a stamp, sprinkle it on like glitter, shake it off and heat it up, and it's beautiful!  They sell it in tons of colors)

    Thanks, so much!  I hope you guys love your invites just as much!  (Though, hopefully you won't be as annoying as I am with my sample invite-- if anyone mentions the wedding, I'm like, "oh it's going great!  Want to see the invitations?!")

    Love them, very unique colors.  Embossing powder sounds like a fun craft to try!

    @prttypancake-- have fun on your embossing powder adventure.  It may be your first, but I doubt it is your last!  My MoH loved embossing so much, she went out and bought her own supplies so she can emboss stuff and is begging me to also emboss my thank you notes so we can emboss more!
