    cause im already having a melt down =).  FINALLY after 3 days i was able to get the prototype done.... it took HOURS to configure my dinky little printer, but i think i have all the proper settings figured out.  ...oh did i mention they are pocket invites with 4 inserts? =)  Yea i don't know what i was thinking, i just reeeeeally wanted cool invites but 600 dollars on invitations just isn't in the budget!  ...so here are some pics i took with my phone... let me know what you think!  and tell me your horror stories!  .....1 down 129 to go!

    They look great!  I made my own (with a friend's help), but they were nowhere near as elaborate as yours.  There were issues with ink colors and whatnot, and DH and I spent a week putting together the belly bands, but overall we were happy.  Yours are amazing though!

    They look great!Where did u get yours?I got mine at Micheals.Plus my save the date magnets.Both I have to print them out ourselves.

    Im planning on sending out our STD's in Nov or Dec of this year.I was gonna wait to try to figure out the settings and all that later this year,but Im hearing more and more about brides trying to figure out the settings.

    I have to find the manual too.That might help.lol

    Again,great job.I love them.By the way,I like the leaf in your invite.Where did u get those?

    They look REALLY good - I would never have known they were DIY if you didn't say so! Nice work :)
