About Ms. Dahlia

Part 1 - Inspiration
Part 2 - Color Crisis
Part 3 - With a Little Help from my Friends

As I mentioned before, I was able to successfully navigate the wedding invitation printing process. Here’s the final result:
Invitations - Part 4 - A Happy Ending :  wedding diy invitations Opening
Opening the envelope

Invitations - Part 4 - A Happy Ending :  wedding diy invitations Thegoo
All of the parts and pieces

Invitations - Part 4 - A Happy Ending :  wedding diy invitations Return
The return address and response envelope.

Invitations - Part 4 - A Happy Ending :  wedding diy invitations Respons
And a close up of my favorite part- the response card.

I’ve gotten lots of positive response about the invitations, and in general, I’m really happy with how they turned out. Overall, I’m happy with having used Overnight Prints for our invitations. I’m really happy with the source of our envelopes, Envelope Mall. And I would definitely order pens (or other art supplies) again from Mister Art.

Beautiful. The watermark-style graphic is very classy.

I just have to put in another shout out for envelopemall.com. Tasks I’d delegate to the groom were often in the form of “this is what I want, now find it for me cheaper.” I once gave him specs on a vellum envelope, with the envelope mall price, and after only a few minutes he reported back that “no one else is even close to that price.”
