I did my own invitations too. While I love the concept I feel like they are way to busy. Are you having them RSVP to a website or is there a response card enclosed? If it is a website, how are grannie and grampie going to RSVP? They also seem very busy, meaning too much on a page.

My advice would be to simplify. Try not to put so much on a page it might make it easier to follow.

I have to say my invites were completely traditional and formal so if you are having a modern, hip wedding my advice may stink, LOL

Good Luck!

I think everything really looks excellent! Great Job! The only nit-picky thing that I can see is the wedding website section in the middle - it sounds a bit "commerically." But, I really do love them!

I love the fonts! "Dinner and dancing immediately following" reads funny to me. I'm used to seeing "Dinner and dancing to follow"

Its a little hard to see the white on white but I'm assuming these are three pieces?

Just a couple of comments:

invite shouldn't be capitalized
I would write Saturday, the ninth of June and leave out the word "on"
Are the ceremony and reception in the same place? When you say immediately following, it implies that both events are in the same location. If you say Dinner and Dancing to follow, it means it is at another location.

Otherwise it looks fantastic! Can't wait to see them printed.
