Wedding Invitations

This invitation was designed for a small wedding with Tiffany Blue as her color. I forgot to take a picture of the actual invitation, so this is the digital file. It looked really nice printed and the polka dots weren't as "distracting" as they look in the image below.

Rustic Wedding Invitations

I'm really happy with how these turned out! My favorite part is the heart, because it happened by accident. I wanted the heart to be smaller and where the "&" symbol is, but accidentally sent it behind my background and loved how it looked...so there it stayed!

The tag is hard to read but it has their names and wedding date.

Tropical Petal Wedding Invitations

I made these wedding invitations for a couple getting married in Mexico. I only had to make 20, so that wasn't bad at all. I purchased the petals from actionenvelopes.com (LOVE that site!). They are 6x6, so the orange mat is 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 and the invitation itself was 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. The mailing envelopes were the same hot pink color. And as usual, everything was designed on MDS!

Wedding Invitations

I made 210 of these bad boys! It wasn't too bad, though, just a lot of scoring and folding :) Everything was designed on MDS and it folds down to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, but opened it is 4 1/4 x 16 1/2. The RSVP and Reception cards were tucked behind the band (I forgot to get a picture) along with an envelope to send the RSVP back. I really liked how they turned out :)

How Wedding Invitations Are Made

You may remember this post from a while ago where I showed a few samples of wedding invitations I had made for a bride. She combined elements from both samples to create her own idea and I have been working on mass producing them. I'm more than half way done, but thought I'd show you the finished product and what it takes to get there!

Here is the finished set. The bellyband holds the invitation and post-card sized response card.

And these are the steps it took to get there

Some fun facts:

• 110 invitation sets were needed
• 175 pieces of cardstock were used to create the 990 pieces needed to create all 110 sets
• 220 circles were punched (110 Elegant Eggplant and 110 Whisper White--which were also stamped)
• 550 leaves were stamped using Old Olive in the corners of the invitations and response cards as well as the center of the belly band
• 880 corners were rounded

Another Wedding Invite

Happy Friday! I thought I would dig into my picture vault and show you another sample invitation I made last year (before I was a Stampin' Up demo...so none of the supplies are SU). The theme was Fairy Tale. I was really pleased with how they turned out! The stamp is from Michael's and was actually huge (3x4 inches-ish), which wasn't going to work with the wording. So I stamped it onto a piece of white cardstock and scanned it onto my computer. I then resized it and then added it to my Word document with the text. For the response card, I did the same thing only watermarked it. It was the easiest stamping I ever did! :)

And I love how a project that was mass produced looks when it's done!

Wedding Invitations

Here are two samples of wedding invitations I have been working on. I like to give the bride a choice of a few different ideas. Her colors were purple and green and she chose the shades from the Idea Book & Catalog. Here is what I came up with for her:

The response card is post card size, and does not require an envelope.

The second set is a pocket invitation (I cased the dimensions from an APEX swap I received!).

*Note: The purple card is the response card and would be secured using the slit punch, however, mine hasn't come in yet, so we'll just pretend for now!

She liked both and ended up coming up with her own idea of using the belly band from the pocket invitation to hold together the flat invite and response card. I will post pictures when I get one made! :)

Stamps: Lovely As A Tree

Paper: Kraft, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive

Ink: Versamark, Old Olive

Accessories: 1 1/2 and 1 3/8 inch Circle Punches, Elegant Eggplant Ribbon

Wedding Invitations

As I mentioned before, I have recently finished a set of wedding invitations for some friends from college. Well they are back in town for Easter and are meeting to pick them up tomorrow. I'm really excited for them to see the invites in person! Here are some pictures of the finished product! Included in their set is a book fold invitation, response card with envelope, directions card, and outer mailing envelope. (Supplies are non-SU)
