XP Invitations are ready! PIP

Yesterday, I took my invitations to post office to get them weighed and purchase stamps. We used pocket fold invitations and the postage came up to 64 cents per invitation. 
I asked the guy at the window if he could hand cancel them and he never gave me a straight answer. He said he could do it if he had time but he kept pushing me to just send it through the machine and wanted to put the big orange butterfly stamp on them. He said they didn't have any other 64c stamps. Well the lady next to him heard him and asked if my letters were wedding invitations. When I said yes, she told me to take them to the post office down the road.
Needless to say, I walked out of the post office and called the one down the road to check if they indeed had the 64c wedding stamp. They called me back in 15 mins and I headed over there to get them hand cancelled. This post office was really small but  they were so nice.  The same postal worker who suggested that I go to this post office was there too! I coudn't believe it. Everything worked out in the end. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they arrive in tact. 
Here are some pics.

YOU MADE THOSE?!?!?!?! WOW they look so professional and beautiful.  Where did you purchase your supplies?  I am going to have to look into making my own invites since the design I want is really really simple.

Very Pretty!  You're motivating me to make an attempt to DIY my invitations.  What computer program or website did you use?

<div>We bought the design on etsy. We ordered the pocketfolds, invitation mats, glue, and envelopes from cardsandpockets.com. We bought  the cardstock from Fedex Office and did all the printing at Stapes and Fedex. We used the huge paper cutter at fedex to cut the invitations, liners, rsvp cards, directions card and the wrap around labels. </div><div>
</div><div>If you use cardsandpockets, they have a guide that's very easy to use but if you have questions just let me know. </div><div>
