    Our invites were printed professionally, and I've already blown all of our paper budget, so it's up to me to design the rest of the stationary. I can do this (I think I can, I think I can!), but I need a little help.

    Where can I find fun boarders/designs/flourishes for the programs, reserved signs, favors, I want to create? Oh! And I only have Microsoft Office (on a Mac) to work with, so Word, Power Point, etc. I'm not cool enough for the fancy schmancy programs yet :)

    You can download trials of the 'fancy schmancy' programs! :) Go to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ and you can get trial versions of programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.

    As for places to download things, I would recommend vecteezy.com - they have tons on there!! Also istockphoto.com - it's not free but the variety is amazing.

    I woul seriously start by looking at what you already have - Word. Office comes with a lot of simple line art & clip art for clean flourishes.

    Otherwise, I suggest the stamp route. That way, you can print the text portions easily and add stamp flourishes later. I would recommend getting an acrylic block and the clear stamps that come in sheets. You can get a lot of different stamps for cheap that way. I'm using a colored motif for my stationary, but I used a simple black "Thank You" stamp for my thank you notes which were discounted blank note cards from TJ Maxx!
