I can't wait until Thursday to AW this:  I finally finished my invites!  These sure were a labor of love and I can't believe they are finally done!  They were a lot of work but I love how they turned out and I would do it again in a heartbeat. 

Now I just have to wait 2 months to send them :/

    Thanks ladies!

    @ SheShe - let me clarify, I would do them for MYSELF again in a heartbeat... LOL

    @MMRoberts - my FMIL asked me the same question this weekend and I have absolutely no idea.  I designed them over a year ago when we first got engaged and have been tweaking them since.  And I have been working on assembly over the past few months (printed all the inserts, cut them all, assembled the bellybands, etc.) 

    And honestly, I don't think I want to know how long they took :)

    ETA:  woah I'm not sure how my response got put in the middle.  Grr to Knot glitches.

    I love them!  I am working with an Etsy seller to help me with my invitations and they look similar to yours but in different colors!!



    Can you share how you made the wrap around labels?

    Rak - The wraparound labels were super easy!  I ordered full sheet labels (the entire sheet is one label) and printed about 5/sheet.  Then cut them out using a paper cutter. Peeled off the backing and voila!  Wrap around label :)

    Those look great Liz!  I'm curious, since you printed all of the inserts yourself, how did you space them out on a page?

    I've got all of my pocketfolds lined with the silver paper (green in your photo) but I'm nervous to try to figure out how to best utilize paper space for the inserts.
