    I was completely obsessed with the idea of DIY invitations, and not just the print my own out, but buying paper and cardstock and printing, cutting, assembline, the whole package...After many (too many) changes, I think I have a final product!  I would love some feedback beyond my FI's "I like it" which he has said about every option put in front of him!  The papers are the stardream metallic (the purple doesn't show up well in the pics) and I am still playing around some with the bellyband wrap and deciding if I want to put a monogram or our names on it...

    I like it! One thing I notice is that the "Additional Information" title is awfully close to the edge. I would also try to make all the titles on the enclosure cards the same distance from the top--the "Reception" card looks like a good distance, but the "RSVP" and "Additional Info" cards are a little close to the top and not consistent. The design looks really nice though!

    @Aileen Thanks for the tip- The spacing just worked out that way when I printed them, but now I can make sure to cut some off the top so they match up =)  TY!

    They are lovely! I noticed the same thing Aileen did, though about the Additional Info insert... I'd go ahead and make the text the same in spacing and size for the headings on all of the inserts.

    Great job!!

    They look great!  I wish I had the patience and the ability to do that.

    Love them and I love the jewels! Gives it a very elegant look with the deep purple. I really like your design too.

    They look great, but maybe have the pocket go up high enough so that you only see 'additional information' not the design like the reception and rsvp cards.  But the design and colors are lovely.
