Hi Bees!

I just purchased these invitations (link below) at Michael's and I was wondering if any Bees have gotten the same or similar invite sets and personalized or dressed them up yourself? I am already planning to place the black ribbon with fuschia (to match my colors), but what else would you do?

All pics and ideas are welcome!! Thanks!

I used these, as well! The black satin ribbon actually looked stunning next to the black damask pattern. I left it as is, and received so many compliments on them. I had a black/white wedding, and purples and Pinks were my accent colors.

I recommend recruiting a few bridesmaids to assemble these, as it takes quite a while. You have to attach the ribbons to the black damask backer, then put glue dots on the white card with the text. It's quite a time-consuming process.

A local printing shop printed the actual text on my invites, and saved me from having to print them at home. Definitely worth it!

I am using programs from Michaels made by Brides as my invitations. Hopefully I can post them in the next few weeks!

My sister used the same ones for her wedding this summer. I agree with Miss Pinot, get some help with these because they take some time. About halfway through I switched frm using the dots to just using a stick of glue because it seemed faster.

I would keep all the text black except your names and put those in a fun, cursive fuschia color! Good luck! :)

I didn't get help assembling mine, but did have them printed at Kinkos for 10cents/invite. To make the assembly go faster I made a template to center the white ontop of the damask. Then I attached ribbon to the damask. Then I attached the stickers to the white paper, Only then did I finish assembling them.

My one suggestion for dressing them up might be to line the envelopes with colored paper (maybe in fuschia to match the ribbon). I am a little obsessed with lined envelopes because I think they look SO pretty. It can be kind of time consuming (I stamped my own paper and cut out all my own liners, so I know from personal experience). You can probably find envelope liner templates at a craft store or here.

I am hosting an invitation/program making party at my house in a few weeks. I invited several of my girl friends and am providing snacks and wine in exchange for their help. It should make the process much more fun.
