Invites are out!!! How do I add an invite ticker?

gymchick05 · April 2011

Ok my invites are finally out- thank goodness, they were a huge PITA to make, but they came out really pretty so Im happy. I want to add one of those invite ticker things, how do I do it? TIA!

Here are my invites if anyone wants to see them- DIY def took WAY longer then I expected, but I think its worth it!

Thank u! So far the 4 ppl who told me they received them liked them, so that makes me happy

And no one so far thought they looked homemade - that was my fear w/ DIY haha

Thank u guys so much for the comments on the invites! It makes me feel really good

giantsgirl12 - I bought the pockets from cards & pockets and the cardstock was a combination of Staples and Cards & Pockets. I made the design by finding a graphic online I liked. I fit the graphic border into the templates on cards and pockets and printed the borders then re-ran the paper thru the printer to add the text (when I did it together the format was kinda messed up). Oh, I ordered the pink border for the pocketfold from cards and pockets and then attached it myself w/ rubber cement. The invite itself was attached with a tape roller since the rubber cement was too messy by the ink.

For the inserts, it just tooksome time to play around w/ printing them and cutting them so they stacked up. I made my templates for them in a combo of word/publisher.

For the bellyband I just t strips of silver cardstock. I also made 2"x2" squares from card stock and designed/printed the smaller quare w/ our names in publisher, printed and cut them w/ a paper cutter. These were also glues w/ a tape roller.

For evelope liners, I made a template from cutting up an actual envelope, found a design I liked online and just duplicated it til it filled a whole page, printed it, cut it w/ an exacto knife & attached w/ a tape roller.

It was WAY more time consuming then I originally planned on, but for what I wanted I did save money. The cost of paper, pocketfolds, glue, etc came to less then $300 for a cost of $2.40 per invite
