My DIY invites **FLASH**

DrBuffles, 11 April, 2014 at 15:00 Posted on Planning 0 31

These are my invites. I'm pretty proud of them but we had a love hate relationship for a long time as they took FOREVER to make! I've had lots of lovely comments from people on them though so almost makes up for the pain!

    Very nice! Tell me .. Was it some kind of magical scissors that did the edging of that paper - or did you buy it that way!?

    Thanks for all the nice comments girls. In answer to your questions. Yes I did make them all from scratch (except the boxes, I ordered them). The scallop edge was a border punch thing I found in TKmaxx. It was exactly what I was looking for so that was a happy discovery. I did have some serious rage with it though because it wasn't the most well made tool and was the reason they took sooooo long to do!

    They're fab. But you have an alignment typo. Your H2Bs name needs centring. Sorry. But they are fabulous. Xx

    It has his surname on in reality but I've photoshopped it out for privacy.

    Yeah I was wondering if you made the boxes because that would be a right faff! How long did they take, I'm thinking of doing my own invites but wasn't sure how much time to give myself?

    Dammit failed your high standards!

    Bliss - they took hours. Give yourself LOADS of time. Everyone on here that has made their own has said how long it takes. It's quite faffy. I don't regret doing my own but would give myself more time if I was to do them again.

    Must try harder next time ?

    Agree with it taking loads of time. People who look to buy from a supplier can be put off by the costs soon realise exactly why things like that cost a lot of money! It's a faff doing every bit and making sure they are perfect.

    Was it a Martha Stewart punch you used?

    I bet your guests were totally made up to receive them. I'd have liked to do something similar but I thought they would be a bit posh for my shabby village hall wedding!
