Velum is on sale right now at Michaels for $ 0.20 a sheet just an FYI!

Quote: Originally Posted by JanineA Awesome!! How hard was it to print on the velum. Does the ink stay wet for long once you've printed? I don't know why but because of how velum looks and feels I tend to think the ink will take a while to dry....maybe I'm wrong. From what most people have said it should take a while to dry. I have an HP inkjet printer and honestly it took about 20 minutes for it to dry. My mother on the other hand for my bridal shower invites used velum on a Brothers printer and it would smear on the way out of the printer. So I think it all depends on your printer.

Yes, I used velum for the front card, clear photo corners to attach it to the black and white cardstock (Oh and don't mind the food selection my FI picked it out....wanted him to feel like he was part of it )

Let me know what you think of my DIY Menu

Hi all! Just decided two days ago on a destination wedding! Know it will be in Florida in early 2010 so I don't have much time! I haven't decided on the exact date yet or found a great hotel!
