    I recently threw my cousin's bridal shower and handmade the invitations and thank you cards!  I'm really in love with how they turned out!

    I bought 2 packages of 25-sheet 105lb gold stardream cardstock, 1 package of 25-sheet text weight crystal stardream paper, and 50 black envelopes.  All of that was about $50 from www.paper-papers.com.  I already had the corner rounder, glue dots, stamp, paper cutter, and ink pad.

    I printed 4 postcards per 8.5x11 sheet of stardream paper!  If you're looking for a new printer I highly recommend getting a Kodak printer!  It handled the heavy duty cardstock really well and the ink is super cheap!

    The fonts are candara (already in microsoft office applications) and freebooter script from dafont.

    Omg, you did an amazing job!  I don't know that I'm crafty enough to do that but I sure do wish my BMs had done that for my shower!
