So I got my invite mock-up done, finally! The printing will be done by C&P - I could definitely see a difference b/w my printer and theres :).


Then, my belly bands, these things were a PITA, took FOREVER, but I definitely like them! (link to the directions I used in my bio)


And these are my envelopes! I printed them through my printer then used a traditional, dip-calligraphy pen to go over it (since I'm OCD and would never have gotten it that straight or pretty), I think it turned out pretty well!

    They look great! Who is doing your printing? Sorry I'm not familiar with C&P.

    Thanks katie - sorry for the shorthand! Cards & Pockets - where I got all of my invitation supplies - they have been SUPER! I could really tell a difference, even with my dad's super nice printer on "best."  Not to mention, I just don't have the time or patience to run 110 invites and 440 inserts through, haha :)

    Beautiful!! That's a great idea to run the envelopes through the printer and then trace over them with the pen!

    Gorgeous! That's what I'm planning on doing with my envelopes, too. Did it take a long time?

    leggwilliams - it did take some time, esp in the beginning, at the end it would take me about 3-4 min - I could do about 6 in a 20 min episode of The Office on DVD, haha :)

    at a few points I wanted to can the idea, but in the end I'm glad I did it.

    Good luck! -- oh and buy plenty of extras, haha!
