We finalized the design for the invitations. I'm really happy with them! We're ordering a sample print this week, and then ordering the full batch so we can assemble them once I move back home in late May.
We ordered from Cards & Pockets (they're doing our printing, too, since our printers aren't equipped to do full bleed and a careful color match):
- Vista (like a shimmery cornflower blue) folded A7 sized cards (basically the size and shape of your typical greeting card)
- Opal envelopes (both A7 and RSVP) - it's like a cream with a gold shimmer
- Cream Puff invitation sheets
- Cream Puff RSVP cards (x2 since we have two inserts that size)
- Cream Puff specially cut 2" circles with our wedding logo printed on them
- White Gold specially cut A7 sized mattes
- White Gold specially cut 2.25" circles to use as a matting for the wedding logo
We also bought 2" lace ribbon. And I also bought a 2" custom address stamp with our logo (which I designed) from
lovetocreatestamps on Etsy (clicky) for only $25! That will be stamped on the back of every invitation envelope in gold and then embossed.
Total cost was about $350 all included (printing and stamps, too), so approximately $3.50/invitation. I'm pleased with that!
When assembled, they should look like this:
