Opinions, and please help me proofread my invite....

jennej24

My invites are DIY and I wasn't really sure what word to capitalize or whatever, can you please proofread it and let me know what you think. I am attaching a picture so you can see the finished product too, let me know if you have any suggestions..... I'm not sure if I should have all purple ink or the text black but our names in purple.

Also, I am not crazy about the print font, it is Georgia, let me know if you have any other suggestions.

It will have our full names, I just didn't want to post them here.....

I like the idea of just your names in purple cuz you're the main attraction! Looks good for a DIY otherwise!!

Thanks mmedlicott, I made both of your changes. I went back and forth about the zip gode because it seems so useful if you are putting it in mapquest or a GPS, but I guess people can always look it up on our website, or even if you just put the Rusty Pelican in the GPd/mapquest it will probably come up.


Lynette, I like it that way too, but FI and mom like all purple so I may be outvoted. I guess I will have to see wht looks best once all the cardstock comes in.

try trajan font and palatino lintotype. I like those for serif fonts

Janina, I think you will be fine, but you should get to work on them. Let me know if you need any help. I ordered samples from paperandmore.com and that helped me to figure out what I wanted.

It is a little overwhelming at first, but once you get started it doesn't seem so bad (at least not yet), I may change my mind after assembling them all and tying all the ribbons.

Also, they have some pretty nice kits at A.C. Moore, I would have done that but they didn't have anything in my color. They are fairly inexpensive and you can usually find 50% off coupons in the newspaper or online, Those would be real easy to do.

Hey!...sorry Im so late! Thanks for responding :-)

Im actually ordering everything on envelopme.com I already have the sample in my hand..Im doing a zfold card, kind of like Amy's...Ive just been so busy with the holidays that I hadnt had the time to sit down and do it. definitely getting started this week..eekk!!

When are you sending yours out?

jennej24

I am even later, I didn't get on all weekend.

I am not sure if you are following this and will see the reply, I am thinking of sending them the end of January? I put the RSVP date as 3/1 so that gives them over a month to get back to me, I think that should be enough.

I never did a STD, so this weekend I sent out an email with the date and website, so everyone should know the date now.
