In planning my wedding, the top two things that made me suicidal were: the invitations (Exhibits 1 2 3 4 5) and our honeymoon (Exhibits 1 2 3 4). Our honeymoon was amazing which made all the research worthwhile but our invitations well, the thought that some ended up in the rubbish bin pains me! In the end, was it worth it? For me, in all honesty, well - no. The process of (semi) DIY invitations from conception to fruition required more creativity, patience, diligence and energy than I posess on a normal basis, much less while juggling the 1000000 other wedding planning balls in the air at the time. For the next invitation requiring soiree I plan, will I go the DIY route again? Haha, you betcha. Aren’t we all just gluttons for punishment like that; nothing beats a spanking by paper and glue man.
Our main envelopes were metallic brown and our RVSP envelopes were pink (remember our superhero stamps?)
Some guests received an additional Chinese insert which my dad typed.
The Chinese insert was the same size as the main invitation insert.
The gizzards. They’re not too fancy but each piece was like a child I birthed sans meds.
I have all my Adobe Illustrator files still, including the Chinese insert and Chinese font, so email me if you want the goods.
My comments aren’t posting. weird.
for the 3rd time:
I love your fonts! Please send me the files~ Thanks! leesuh1@gmail.com
We’re doing DIY invites also - everything including printing with the Gocco to making hundreds of flowers to glue on the invites. So the idea that some will inevitably be thrown away makes me a little sad. Great job and love the shoes!
I would love a copy of the files! I’m doing similar invites and have anxieties about getting them done in time since I haven’t even started! I’m waiting on my packages to arrive in the mail.
I’m not too bright and haven’t figured out how to email the bees. Therefore, if you don’t mind, can you please email it to me at maryoncraigslist@hotmail.com Thanks!
Mrs. Spider,
Were your pocketfold envelopes 5 X 7?? If so, I would appreciate the help as I get started on my own invitations. Did you send the invitations w/o outer envelopes? How did you address them? By hand? Labels? asg002@hotmail.com. Thanks so much!
I LOVE your pocketfold invitations! Please e-mail me everything you have on the invites, including pocketfold making tutorial/layout if you made them yourself.
Thanks so much, Mrs. Spider!
I love your invites, they’re very classy. Have you ever posted a cost breakdown? I would love a copy of the files too!!! Thanks much! wp52408 at gmail dot.com
i would love a copy as well, or at least the names of the fonts you used…so beautiful! cchang5 at gmail.
I wold love a copy. I too am planning on a seperate Chinese insert for our guests.
I love your invites! I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the Chinese part of our invitations. Can you please send me a copy of your files? Thanks!
I would love a copy of your invites! :)graciegrace2000@yahoo.com
Send me files too pretty please! My fiance’s input in the wedding planning is to create the invitations. Tee hee! He doesn’t know what he’s signed up for. He’s the graphic artist genious and I can hardly draw a straight line with a ruler. I can use your pictures and files to communicate what I might want our invitations to resemble. Like your invitations, I’ll need an insert, only in Thai. shimpie@hotmail.com
I would also like a copy of your files. Thank you!!!
You did a wonderful job and your post made me giggle a bit. I would love to have a copy of the files you used for the invites and especially the inserts since I am sorta wigging out over that right now 
If you could email me at aemken04@yahoo.com that would be fantastic Thanks
I would lLOVE to have a copy of the files you used, thanks so much!
