Weddingbee boards

After a full month of work, I just put 75 invitations out the door! YAY! The Invitation suite consisted of 1 White 5"x7" Outer Envelope, 1 Navy Blue 5"x7" pocketfold, Invitation, RSVP Card (Mad lib on the front, RSVP info inside, and a place to draw or write comments inside), RSVP navy blue envelope, Reception Card (with Directions from church to reception hall on the back), and Directions Card (with invite to Next Day Brunch on the back).

The fonts I used were: Invite- Burgues Script (our names) and JaneAusten (everything else); Big Red RSVP/Directions/Reception headers on inserts- Budmo Jiggler; All other writings on inserts- Palatino Linotype. My FI hand wrote the addresses on the RSVP envelopes and the Invite envelopes. I made the red/white stripped liner paper and everything else but the paper everything was printed on. I also used an embosser I bought off of Amazon.com for every envelope flap (invite and RSVP), a corner rounder bought at Target (all the rounded corners), a Bubbles punch bought at Michael's (seen on the pocketfold flap and invitation), and an anchor stamp I had custom made on etsy.com (used anywhere you see a black anchor basically!). Both the Invitation AND the RSVP envelopes were lined in the red and white stripped paper and each envelope has a jaunty anchor somewhere on the liner where it can be seen when its opened.

I wish I didn't have to blur stuff, but What do you think of them?

Here is Everything laid out so you can see the front and the back of each piece:

WOW!  Very Impressive!

@trailmix: i can't believe I made them either! (Except, I'm exhausted enough from it that I ought to!) :)

@zippylef: I am sure your invites will be just as awesome! :)

@MissNewYork: The bubbles hole punch on the pocketfolds took a whole evening of me working alone to do! I'm pretty proud they turned out so well!

@ktisthatbees: It took me a while to figure out how to do the advice mad lib in OpenOffice (which is the program I used for everything), but once I figured it out, it was super quick!

Thanks for the kind words so far everyone!

Wowza! Great job!

@plantains: i hope our friends and family feel the same way!

@caszos: Somewhat, yes. I'll be using the same fonts as the inserts on the ceremony programs, and some signage at the reception hall as well, but I'm also incorporating another font- AlphaRope into the signs and table numbers, for a but more nautical bent. I couldn't use it for the invites because it looked funky.

@fontgoddess: Thanks! I was actually planning on 100 originally, then I realized I miscounted, so I made 100 invitations suites, and we sent 75. No idea what I'm going to do with 25 invitations!

Thanks Everyone! :D Your comments are making my day!
