Unless they sell samples in size "heffer" I don't think I'm going to get that lucky. shut up girl, you're supposed to be thinking positive! I love the first one from David's Bridal. I've also seen it in store but I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get it in time. and DB does rush, you have to pay a rush fee or something, i'd think it's worth a go-in, to try on and see about adding sleeve-y things and time/$.

LOL. thanks! i am really proud, altho to knock myself down a peg or two, the do look much better in pics than in person, i just wanted them done, and i got a little sloppy with my cutting, not all the edges are perfectly straight, and the insert sizes are no where near the same width but, of all 83 i'm sending, i'm sure only my BFF will notice. she's freakishly picky about stuff like that we're heading to the post as soon as i get off today. we want to have them weighed first so we know what our stamp options are, i LOVED the ones we got for our STD's, but i don't know if these are going to be quite heavy enough for a $0.90 stamp, and i want something cooler than a wedding heart or stupid flag or something so yes, SUPER excited to mail these!! and like i said, open invite to all my BDW homies! to Seattle OR Cabo!!

I have a reminder set to mail it to you, but I forgot to bring it to work yesterday or today, so I will def remember tomorrow. Here is the pictures... YAY thanks! altho i can't see the pics (at work YET again!!) but i can't wait to go home and see him! our little guy is gonna be so loved by the time you get him back!

they look great! i love the anchor charm, nice touch oh, the things i would have done had i more time and $!

Where did you get them? yes, clear envelopes from Paper Zone / Inspire / Design / Create, the info is in the link of the other thread. they come in a gazillion sizes, and i actually got a size bigger than i needed, oops, i got 5.25x7.25 or something similar, and they were a smidge too big on the top and side. the side i was able to fix by wrapping tighter and then sticking (you peel off a strip on the back). but to fix the top wouldnt have been worth it. i didnt realize they were a tad too big until i had already stuck all my labels on otherwise i would have run to paperzone and bought a size smaller.

Quote: Originally Posted by cmmdee These are awesome! I love the blue color of the envelopes and the wording on the RSVP they are the perfect shade of tiffany blue to match my BM dresses, on cards and pockets it's Tiffany Metallic, and the BM dresses are DB Pool. the wording i'm pretty sure i borrowed from someone here, but i did also see it on an invite wording site, i think Invitations by Dawn - Unique Theme Wedding Invitations and Accessories. Quote: Originally Posted by Maura yeah, abbie -- let me know where you got the clear envelopes from. i was thinking it would be perfect for holding my welcome booklets and other assorted paper goodies for my welcome bags. yes so like i said above, from paper zone, tons of sizes and VERY inexpensive. i didnt want to use stuffy thick paper envelopes that hide all my hard work! plus, they are lighter weight than thick paper envelopes, so when we get them weighed for postage it will cut a few pennies off the cost!

By the way, I didn't see mine in your box o'invites... what's up with that?!?! hehehe open invite for my BDW girlies of course! anyways, you said you might not make it to seattle this july, so i was saving trees by not making you one

I used PowerPoint for the inserts and the main invite card, vistaprint for the reply and photoshare cards, palm tree punch from michaels, pics from our photog. If you see any typos, keep it to yourself! They're already enclosed and ready to go! Any QQQ I didn't answer, just ask! Someone PM'd me asking this and I thought I'd post it in case anyone wondered Quote: Originally Posted by Cherielee hi i love your invites...im wondering how you have your plam tree punch...it looks silver? did you punch something out and then paint it or something and then paste it on? also where did you get the stickers to seal the envelopes? thanks for your help i didn't use stickers! but, here is what i did do: i cut the bronze text weight paper into like 1 1/2" squares, then i used the punch. then i cut like 2" squares of the parchment colored paper for backing. i used permanent adhesive tape (sort of like double stick tape but without the tape between the double sides? you know what let me just get you some pics hold on.. ok here is the adhesive and here is the square, i took this pic at a different angle so it doesnt show the shiny-ness. i used the permanent adhesive for things like sticking the bronze square to the parchment square, and then the one half of the whole square to the invite, but then the removeable adhesive on the other half of the whole square to make it so people can open it from the invite, kwim? i'm also gonna copy and post this reply in the thread in case anyone has this Q too

Insert about wedding & reception: Pic of us with our website: Reply card (from www.vistaprint.com) and adorable postcard stamps that are out right now! SOOO perfect! Last but not least, our photoshare card from vistaprint!

This link has pics and where/costs: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t16097 I finally finished my invites tonight! I was going to send them off today but I didn't get done with the last one until about 20 min after the PO closed oh well, tomorrow is just one more day! Box of 83! Ready to go! What the envelope looks like in your mailbox When you open the envelope: When you open the pocketfolder: Map insert created and designed by our own Jason! Thanks Jay! I ended up tweaking it a bit more myself, your image REALLY saved my life!!

oh carly, you looked absolutely amazing! just stunning! i also adore that macy's dress, you looked spectacular! you and matt are such a good looking couple, i can't wait to see more pics! your dress was gorgeous! i need a starfish pic fix! where is he? how did he do?

corina, they are beautiful! thanks for sharing!

looks great yari! i am officially dreaming of your backyard for a few minutes

maura that's gorgeous good find!

well, it's a real store, we have one sort of near us in a city called auburn. so i dont think they're official knock-offs, but you never know. they sell clothes, but it's sort of the type of store like a Deb or Rave, not sure if anyone knows what they are, but cheap and tacky so she was really surprised that she found a dress there, and she actually loved it. she is a really picky girl and she only shops at places like gap and jcrew, so for her to be impressed is good!

oh i am SOOO jealous of you AA girls and i will post pics of the invites tonight! good job on your list katrina! keep it up! and thanks for pics!

my friend at work got her dress from Group USA: Home. she was so not excited to look for dresses there, but her mom was like oh lets just try it! well she ended up finding one and falling in love with it, bought it that day at the store. they do sell them online as well. her dress

hahaha, yup, that's right! oh well

wow they look fantastic! great job and thanks for the template!

shoot, i figure if i'm gonna trick people, i wanna go whole hog
