My invitations began arriving in our guests' mailboxes today. They were a labor of love! But I wouldn't do it any differently. We had so much fun putting them together with the whole family! What do you think of them?
(I can't believe I don't have pictures of the outside of them...the outside is beautiful!)

Oh and there is supposed to be an RSVP card slid in front of the "We look forward..." card. Man, I slacked with the photography.
Beautiful!

Ohhh, they're so pretty! I just love the swirly design and the photo of you two. Congratulations on the good work!
Thanks! The swirly design is actually two stamps, stamped on top of eachother, put together by a very patient older sister of mine. Oh and it's embossed too. I love that raised feeling...
How lovely!
This may be a silly question, but did you design & print the worded invitation yourself? It's so gorgeous... it looks like something off of WPD!
WOW!! You did all over this yourselves? Do you have a tutorial on your blog about making them?
I just read your above comment: wow! I'm even more impressed now... quit your day job 
Aww...thanks! We designed the wording part ourselves (literally in Microsoft Word) and took it to our local printer and had him print it on the paper and cut it to the right size. Then we stamped that paper as described above. Then we double-sided-taped it to the gold paper (from PaperSource) and then double-sided-taped it to the red paper. Lots of double-sided-tape was used in the making of these invitations!
That is soo cool. Youre very talented! I mean, I'd never ever be able to do that!
Haha - I am FAR from talented! But my family is! I don't have the tutorial on my blog yet, but it will be coming soon! (I want to make sure everyone receives them before I reveal too much on there)

These are absolutely gorgeous! You did an incredible job!
Let's here it for our bee, fellow Hostess and DIY Diva!!! (deafening applause and standing ovation!)
They look amazing!
I just spent a little while lining some envelopes and I know what you mean by labor of love, it's something few people will even notice but it makes me feel so great and personal about the invites...
nice job!!! WOW!!!

Those look so great!
Hhahaaa, everyone look what her dad wrote:
From what I can figure, these things are some kind of a pop-up origami full scale replica of the Eiffel tower with paper mache doves circling overhead, and somewhere in all of this is something called a "Belly Band."
I'm so happy you all like them!
Here are a few more pictures. Enjoy!

I'm a total paper geek -- these photos are making me swoon! You did an AMAZING job. So gorgeous!
O.O!
I think I'm in love! =D
This is TOTALLY going into my invitation inspiration (I hope you don't mind!). I'm in LOVE with the folded invitation, and I was looking for a way to incorporate a photograph of my fiance and I.... =) Many, many MANY thanks!
I'm so glad you all like them! If anyone is interested in recreating them, I posted my feeble attempt at a tutorial under the brand-spanking-new DIY tab. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
Ohh going to stalk your blog :) Nothing feeble about your attempt - you are an invitation rockstar!
These look absolutely amazing! You are very talented! I love the rich colors and the swirl accents. It's so personal sweet that you included a pic of you and your FI for your guests.
i wanted to DIY but didn't think i could spare the time... congrats these are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Wow!! I am majorly impressed!! Who knew lawyers were creative? Just kidding! I think you've found a second calling, if you ever want to switch careers!!
Wow those are gorgeous! I am really impressed!
I love it- the picture, the color, the spirally swirls, it is all just amazing. Good job!
