On a mission to "recreate" this invite

Thanks for the suggestions Jess! What size boxes did you buy? Their invites are 5x7. The good thing is I have LOTS of time to work on them this summer before I start the nursing program!

Check Jessalyn's thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t3451 she made her own very similar to what you want.

 

edit: drrr, nevermind!

You'll be so happy if you can get them done early. I bought square boxes....7 3/8" x 7 3/8". My invites were 6 inch square and were a trifold with pockets on each side. My starfish was attached to the outside of the trifold with raffia.

 

You can do it. I actually modified the invites I liked so that they would work with the boxes I found, etc. I worked with what was available to produce the invite. You'll have a great sense of accomplishment and pride in your invites. It's a good feeling to look at the product and know that you made it.

aww...there's that thread with my invites...thanks Christa.

Wait I'm pretty sure Val made these for her invites. She had a whole thread where she explained how to make them. I can't seem to find it. Give me a second I'll see if I can find it. I know she used this as her inspiration:

 

Starfish wedding invitations - unique beach wedding invitations in a box

 

I think these are $12.99

Okay I found Val's thread, here is the link: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...arfish+invites

Hmmm... I didn't think about the smelling bit.

I was going to buy some from here just for the table with out guest book:

 

White Finger Starfish

Off topic here ... Glenda! That's exactly the colour of orange I want in my wedding! I am having a hard time finding items in that shade. (Looking for bm dresses now).

You want like a dark orange? What kinds of stuff are you looking for I can help you search the web for things in this color.

Yes, not a deep deep, but vibrant. I guess the bm dresses is first. Since Dreams Cancun is surrounded by turquoise water and the walk up to the gazebo is surrounded by green grass, I wanted to give a pop of colour. I am trying to find dresses with a sleek modern design. I am going to a place on Thursday evening which might have some.

I think I will have to find table runners or I can make something with that colour for the tables. I think I am going to do the drowned flower idea in square vases.

I want mango callas, but that may be too much orange with the bm dresses and my flowers. (Suggestions?!)

My original idea was to have these colours with just a pop of orange:
