Yay!! I looove colorful invitations. If you look in my bio you can see that my wedding invitations were in a bright blue pocketfold thingy. (whatever it's called). The invitation itself was printed on white cardstock, but it was mounted on an olive-y green cardstock. They looked amazing, and people REALLY responded to the bright colors. I got so many nice compliments on them. I didn't make them myself though - so just think of all the credit & compliments you get to take!! Our RSVP envelopes were bright orange - they were really fun to see in the mail, you couldn't miss them!

Sounds great!  I recommend doing most of the prep work by yourself, but getting a bit of a party together to assemble over wine or slurpees   Our party took about five hours, but when I think of how long it would have taken just me I'm glad we did it.
