Invite Flash Please!!

Broody_wife, 22 November, 2009 at 18:33 Posted on Planning 0 46

Ok, So I want to make my own invites but need some inspiration and was wondering if you lovely ladies wouldn't mind flashing yours for me??

I liked these ones, but obv would have them in my colour scheme if i decided to go with them

    BW I would ask for more constructive criticism than yes/no- otherwise you'll be going round in circles - can you agree on colour/style etc?

    Colours i'm thinking gold/ivory and coral (if this is my BM's colour) He doesn't have a choice in that really, just want him to help pick a design! lol L xx

    Haha This is exactly what i've told them! Coral is one of my fave colours. The only thing is, if my OH gets a kilt will he clash?! lol

    Your favor boxes are lovely! Very well done Bluewater!! Can't wait to see your invites!!

    My H used to say 'that's ok' to everything until it actually came to choosing them and then he got very opinionated! Didn't like the font, design, colour.....ahhhhhhh! Poor Prettywild had to do loads of designs until we both liked it.

    Thanks Bailey_Wailey, I think they look pretty, but will be glad when they are all done!! Only 21 more to make. Tip - if you get bored easily, spend a little extra money to buy ready assembled boxes!! After assembling and devorating 150 boxes you will understand!!

    Yeah Bailey it will take you a few tries to get exactly what you want. I went through the motions - think I only had about 6 designs that I tried before I settled on one.

    Bailey, I got all my card and inserts from PDA Card & Crafts, I got my ribbon from Country Baskets in Glasgow and I got my diamontes from the bay of e. My envelopes came from world of Envelopes online.

    Hi, some beautiful invitations here ? These are ours, made by the company my cousin's fiancee works for...got them for free, was a bit of a result!

    Front:

    Middle:

    Back:

    The pics don't really do them justice, they're on a shimmery sort of card which is really good quality and look gorgeous in 'real life' if that makes sense ?

    I love your invites Beccy. I thought I would save money and make them myself but with the amount I've spent so far I might aswell have had them done prfessionally.

    If we have a category for best invites you will get my vote!
