    This has been my first major wedding project, and I'm so happy with how they turned out!  I just had to share!  And I wanted to thank all the bees here for convincing me that I NEEDED a Gocco.  I would have never known what it was without the Hive.  Best wedding purchase yet!  If you are on the fence, you should get one :)

    Beauty! I love the writing on the back of the envelope. :o) Good job I'm still not sold on a Gocco- how much did it cost you? And how much are the inks? Anyone?

    Thanks, ladies!  They were a labor of love, but I'm so happy with them.

    @Miss Ladybug - I bought a brand new PG-11 Model, and it cost me $300.  I know you can get them for cheaper elsewhere, but I really wanted a new one in that model (the PG-11 has a registering system that makes printing "layers" much easier than the previous models).  At the time I bought mine, eBay was selling some of the older models, used, for about $200, so I figured it was worth the extra $$$ for me.  

    As for inks, there are lots of sellers on etsy.com who sell them in packs of 5 for about $6/each plus shipping from Japan.  So, a pack of 5 costs about $35 or so.  But the ink really lasts a long time.  I printed 125 of these STDs and still have well over half a tube of brown and even more green ink left.

    Beautiful! and I completely agree about the Gocco- I love mine and used it on a multitude of projects- Invitations, Napkins, Matchbox covers, Candy buffet bags- LOVE it!!

    Those are beautiful!!  i really want a Gocco too, but I didn't want to spend the money!  Can I ask where you purchased yours!?  I saw that you said you saw some on Ebay, used, but where did you buy your new one!?

    @jingle96 - I purchased my Gocco off etsy.com from this seller, CraftyJapan: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CraftyJapan.  I get all my supplies from her as well.  She ships everything from her home in Japan, and it comes to my home in California in about one week.  She has a new PG-11 in her shop right now, if you want to take the plunge!

    @KMSull - it's not as hard as it looks!  There are some great tutorials from the Bee Bloggers here, and I did my own if you want to check it out: http://perpetualpartyplanner.blogspot.com/2009/11/our-save-dates-part-three-go-go-gadget.html
