Jenetta's 1st draft by Oliostyle.com

I love #1. Did you design those yourself? They all turned out very cute.

No a knottie had started her own design business. She's super reasonable. I initially thought that I would do everything, but I don't have photoshop or any other fancy program. I've had a rough enough time finding clipart for another project.

 

Anyway, oliostyle.com designed the layout and I will have them printed at kinkos or alphagraphics. I will cut and mount myself in a pocketfold.

Ahhh! Its times like this I wish I was MS and could everything imaginable to do all me DIY stuff

I will try Kinko's or Alphagraphics. Oliostyle also prints for $1 each invite, I'm not sure if that includes cutting. I haven't checked pricing yet for the other retailers.

I know the feeling about MS, you start off with these grand ideas but time goes by so quickly and I am super critical of my work. I really had to learn to manage my expectations. What all would you like to DIY, if you don't mind me asking.

I am thinking of using the Boarding pass STD's template that Anny posted but I realized that if i take into consideration that I need to purchase all the craft tools, paper, printing, etc. it may defeat the purpose of saving money. So when I go to PV, I'm going to purchase a ton of post cards and use them as my STD's.

I'm planning on doing the Photo luminarias which I don't believe I'll have a problem making.

And I am looking into "print-at-home" invites. FI and I like the idea of purchasing a mongram and use them on everything.

That's not bad at all! I'm relieved to know that its not pricey to print at Kinkos.
