Invites

[AishaB]

So I have been going back and forth about what kind of invites I should do.  I really felt because I was doing boarding pass tickets for my STDs then I had to the passports as my invites. So, first I decided not to be bothered and farm out the job, but then I thought to myself that I could do it myself - that was a mess!  Then I found a wonderful post on the blog Weddingbee from one of the Bees who was having the exact dilemma as I was.  She had sent out Boarding Passes and wanted to do something a bit different for her formal invites. Taking her advice into mind, I have finally  found my invites. This Sunday, I did the first mock-ups with cream cardstock.  I wont post those as yet because I want the card stock doesn't do justice to the invites. So here's my inspiration. I found it on Weddingbee.  If anyone wants the instructions on how to make the pocket folds, just follow the link. Her instructions are so simple, clear and easy, I got them on the first try.  I am going to get them letterpressed and have a different design other than the flowers (something beachy or travel themed that is on my other paper items).  I got a good lead on letterpress from one of my fellow DW members (sorry I can't remember your name), but her friend has been great to work with.  I will definitely let you ladies know how the lettepress turns out.
