    Hey bees,

    I have been plugging away at my invites and they are almost ready to send out! I received my free hard copy proof from Catprint.com about 5 days after placing my order and they look perfect! I chose the heavy cotton cardstock and rounded corners.

    My soon-to-be-wife drew the illustrations for our invites and I designed and assembled them. Here is what we have so far!

    Front:

    Despite how it looks against my white "privacy dots," the paper is actually a bright, warm white.

    The back:

    The front of our little invitation packet, with some of the other paper flowers:

    With a different flower:

    Another view because I'm obsessed:

    And the back of the packet: (please ignore the uneven slits, I'll fix that for our final version.)

    We are going to go buy our envelopes tomorrow (pink, of course) and then I can post how they look with the invites and our address labels and stamps. I love all the pieces so much!

    Thanks for looking!

    I love it! Cute theme and the packet together looks great. You are lucky to have an FI who is so artistic for the illustrations! My only suggestion would be where you have "legal" struck out, the way the line intersects the last l it almost looked like a handwritten b and momentarily stopped me. Not a huge deal, but my sis is a graphic designer and I think I am starting to see like her after years of lectures haha!
