Planning for our big day

Wedding inviations

I am 100% making my own invitations.  After months of different ideas, here is my final mockup.  I made the inserts in photoshop and printed on cream linen cardstock.  The main invite was printed on cream linen text and was embossed with a stamp purchased on etsy from Katzanddogz.  I also made the pocketfolds (they were done last year thank God) and cut everything myself.

The directions card I made in photoshop (please don't mind the crappy pic).  It will be printed on the back of the directions card (thankfully I thought ahead and made everything 4x6 so that it will fit in my photoprinter).  I've included the place where Kal and I met, and where he proposed and where we will be married :)

My pain in the butt envelopes (thanks to my printer).  They were printed in the same font as my invites on stardream opal envelopes.  I used a fixative spray to seal the ink b/c it kept smearing...even a few days after it was printed.  And there are my custom stamps in their glory!

Rehearsal dinner invitations

Picture
This is kind of a work in progress, but I love that it coordinates with our colors.  Our rehearsal dinner is semi-formal and I think it would work perfectly :)

Save the dates

Picture
Here are my save the dates!  They are the large magnets printed on large postcard from vistaprint.  It cost me $49.99 for 100 magnets (I had free priority shipping and free picture upload).  Also, I made the magnet through good old photoshop!!  It definitly was a labor of love because I really couldn't decide on a design!

Heart shaped stickers I purchased from www.onlinelabels.com.  They were really easy to print and the website has free templates so they align perfect!

 

Picture
My envelopes.  I purchased chocolate brown envelopes from www.envelopemall.com, return address labels from www.vistaprint.com (with one of our engagement pictures on it) and stamps with wedding rings on them

Engagement party thank you card

Picture
I ordered my thank you cards first from vistaprint.  I really didn't like the quality for the photos, so I reordered the thank you cards from snapfish.  I was able to use a 50% off coupon, so it cost me $50 for 60 thank you cards.  Below are the pictures of the cards by Snapfish and I LOVE them!!!  Great quality!

"Will you be my bridesmaid" cards

 Ordered them from Vistaprint...cost me $5 for the picture upload and $4 for shipping for 10 cards...It is a bifold card, so this picture is on the front

and this is the inside.  I wrote a personalized note also for each of the girls.


Engagement party invites

These are the engagement party invites I ordered from vistaprint.  I printed them on postcards using the free offer.  I backed them on fucshia metallic cardstock to match the pink in the invite.  My sister actually traced our profiles on her tablet to match the couple in the siloutte!  I ordered the fuschia cardstock from cardsandpockets.com. (Although I later learned they had the same color at Michaels!)

Favor gift tag for engagement party

I also ordered these through vistaprint, using their free business card offer.  I cut them down to 2x2 to use for favor tags.

An idea from knottie mrschristine98.  We are having a full venetian hour and I thought these would be cute for the guests to bring home the extra sweats.
