I am still very pleased with the Green Kangaroo - our clutch pocket invites are awesome and soooo informative.

I DIYed our invites too, but I love the contemporary looks you can find on MyJeanM.com and AlaunByDesign.com so much so that I “borrowed” a layout from Alaun.

I thought we had actually decided on our invitations, but I love it every time there is an invitation feature. With five months left, and no order placed, there is still time for me to change my mind. I now have samples on the way from The Green Kangaroo…

I love Wedding Paper Divas! I used them for my wedding invites and my mom used them for my shower invites. In fact, I chose the one you posted by Wedding Paper Divas, but in chocolate brown. They are so adorable. Well, at least, I think they are :P

Miss Shortcake, you picked out some of my favorites! I just came across White Aisle this weekend, and samples are on their way to our house right now! I’m in love with the Bouquet and Poppy designs!
And why did you have to remind me of KenzieKate’s Paris? I sigh over those beauties…

Ha, Mr. T. and I just spent all weekend DIYing invites! I love to DIY, but realistically, they look … um, let’s say … homemade. And once I paid for the Gocco and various supplies, they weren’t any cheaper than a budget invite provider. (BUT, at least I’ve now got a Gocco!)

Thanks for the mention, futuremrstaj!

We now offer something for the invitation buyers and the DIY’ers: we just started selling some of our DIY Wedding Invitation materials and products online, like pockets, paper, envelopes, and adhesive.

Are these helpful for the DIY bride? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
