…our invitations have got to be it! I have been waiting to post about this for so long, and after weeks on weeks of printing and cutting and pasting, the invitations are out!
I have always loved designing invitations. I had the pleasure of doing so for a few of my friends either for their weddings or for other various events, and I just couldn’t wait to design our own! I knew I wanted it to convey a very carefree, sweet, and lighthearted tone, and I also wanted it to be classic yet original at the same time.
As an avid scrapbooker and also having loved arts and crafts ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to go the DIY route. I love nothing more than creating something by hand as a gift for a loved one, so given that this would be the one event where our loved ones would be traveling from near and far, I really wanted to make our invitations special. Of course, there’s a difference in making one card or scrapbook page versus having to make over 200 invitations, so I have to admit I did underestimate the time involved
. We made everything, from the pocketfolds to the inserts even to the graphic on the body of the invite, which I designed using various rubber stamps
!
Anyway, without further ado, here are the fruits of our labor! Thanks to Mr. D, Sister Daffodil, and my northern CA bridesmaids who helped out! ![]()

The glue that held everything together:






I will share the details on how we made them in another post, but for now, I just really wanted to share these with you all!
