    Just wanted to share.

    My fiance and I decided early on that we really wanted to design our own invitations.  It was pretty easy to accomplish (despite that we have vastly, vastly different taste in fonts, wording, colors, paper type, and just about any other detail imaginable).  Then, since they're on the simple side, we hired a letterpress printer to print them for us.  We thought that the letterpress printing product would give it that extra something that it needed.

    Our invitations are ivory with red, our RSVP cards are a gorgeous red with black type, and our mailing envelopes are a metallic gold with red ink.

    We're so thrilled!

    Thanks for indulging me. :)

    Thank you!

    @Lees4308: Would love to see yours, too! I love letterpress. It's so gorgeous. I think you could put pretty much nothing on there and it'll be elegant.

    They're beautiful!  I can't resist letterpress. : )  What does the quote say at the top of the invite?

    What is your non-script font, out of curiousity? I love them and I love that font!

    Thanks!!

    @LaborOfLove: The non-script font is from the Gothic family.  I think that's Gothic Book.  Super clean and classy.  I know you didn't ask, but the script font is Alexandria Zeferino Three.

    What does it say on your RSVP? "Please indicate an entree selection for..."

    I am trying to do something like that for my RSVP but I can't figure it out!

    Thanks!

    @Nlmiele:  It says "Please indicate an entree selection for each guest."  Then it lists the food choices.  I found that to be the easiest way to manage it.
