I have made these invites myself, just want some feedback as do not want them to look cheap and tacky and like a child has made them, so just want peoples opinions Smiley smile

this was my first attempt! I think need to make the coloured ribbon a little longer as was hard to tie a bow Smiley sad

so opinions pleaseee?? Smiley smile

    They're really lovely! I wanted to make my stationary but after 6 attempts at save the dates all were vetoed we ordered off Vistaprint Smiley sad.

    Did you print directly on card? Or was it on a nice paper and stuck inside?

    I think they look really nice, they look professional and neat and tidy!

    Just noticed we have the same wedding date! 274 days to go! When are you planning on sending your invites out?

    Thanks TreacleTart!!

    I haven't got as far as printing yet purplecake, I did think about just printing straight onto the card but think printing on nice paper and then sticking on will be easier Smiley smile that way can bring my colours into it abit more too Smiley smile

    thanks GCL2015- ahh soo exciting isn't it! time is going fast! I wish could send out soon! but will probably wait until after Christmas- what about you?

    Smiley smile

    My OH has a few family members in America, so I posted their invites to them a couple of weeks ago so they have plenty of time to decide whether they can make it or not & look at flights etc.

    I have a RSVP date of 1st April 15 so think I will send all invites in Feb/March time - I'm worried if I send them too early people will forget about it and not RSVP!

    They're lovely. You could make the ribbon longer to ease the tying then trim the ends. They look perfect. X

    I think they look great! I really like the lace you've used. Can I ask where you got it from?

    They look good! I have similar thoughts, brown card and lace. Have you done inserts or printed on the card? How much do you think they are coating you?
