Weddingbee boards

I have had most of my invitations done for a few weeks now, but I just finished up the last few last night and wanted to post them here.  They are completely DIY from the design process to the assembly line.  I printed them all on my HP all-in-one printer.  The swirl was designed by Etsy seller DragonsTailDesigns.  The fonts are Feel Script and Copperplate Gothic Light.  All paper was purchased from PaperAndMore.com (80# epic black linen cardstock and 80# Sand cardstock).  The belly band is red vellum, and the gold wax seals are faux glue gun wax.  The red wax seals are real wax that I used when I ran out of the fake ones (tip: always order on the high side!)  The envelopes and return address were handwritten with a fine-point Sharpie.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  I had a blast making these and can't wait to see what my guests think!

These look beautiful! I love anything with wax seals, mine are having that too!

And the President as a guest...how very perferct. ;)

Pilotsgirl: If you're planning to use the glue gun seals, order at least 2 extra sticks.  They say they make 12-15 seals per stick, so I guessed I needed 9 sticks (to make 108 seals).  Well I only ended up with 89 seals because the ones at the beginning and end mixed with glue too much to be useful.  It takes a lot of practice but the glue gun seals are a LOT easier than real wax seals.  I almost lit my invitations on fire 3 times using the real wax seals (and I only needed to make 6 of them!).  Miss Sewing's tutorial is really useful too!

@curlyncurvy: No problem at all!  I spent $117.50 on 95 invitations, not including postage.  The paper and envelopes was most of that, 1 ink cartridge (thought it would be more than that!), the vellum was free from my dad, the wax seal & wax sticks were around $35, and the rubber cement was around $10 for 3 bottles.  The swirly design that I had made was $7.  Postage was 44 cents for the RSVP and 61 cents for the main envelope.  I did not do inner envelopes.
