Weddingbee boards

My very wonderful and talented future sister-in-law offered to make us our wedding invitations. I sent her some ideas and texts, fonts and colors and then she got to work on them.

Yesterday she sent me the finalized invitations. And they're AWESOME!

Take a look at the invitation idea that I crappily drew in Paintbrush, and the awesometastic invitation that she made for us. Isn't it amazing?! :-D

I'm gonna put it in pocketfolds with some insert cards that FSIL also made for us. I'll post more pictures of them when they're ready! :)

I have to admit that at first I just scrolled down to the first pic you posted and I thought that was your invitation for a second. Then I scrolled down a bit more.... oooohh!! I'm not awake this morning. Not to say that the first pic couldn't be your invite but I just enjoy your sister-in-law's more polished and colorful version a bit more ;) LOL, very cute though, she did a great job!

Thanks, ladies!

@Tulip61110 -- I love the heart on the tails too!

@hcritton -- LOL! My craptastic paint drawing could never be an invitation! :-P

@Gerbera -- The script font is Freebooter Script :)

Aww they are so cool!

I've got more invite pics!

After FSIL emailed me all the invitation files (the invites plus the insert cards) we went to FedEx Office (what used to be Kinkos) to have them printed, and then I got the pocketfolds and envelopes I ordered from Cards & Pockets, and then after about ~12 hours of work assembling them, they were finally ready to mail out. We're already getting RSVPs and so far everyone has loved the invitations!

So here's some pictures!

First, all the cards (invite + 5 inserts):

A couple of close-ups:

The belly bands I made, with labels with the names of the people invited:

Assembled into the pocketfold, and then the full invitation suite:

And finally, all the invitations and envelopes, and then the envelopes after being stuffed:
