Ms. Apple Cider had a fantastic invitation suite, and my major takeaway is this wood-embossed paper. I’m thinking I’ll purchase it from here.

This is another do-it-yourselfer featured on Style Me Pretty. Also a gorgeous suite, but my fave is the kraft paper CD-cases, which you can purchase from Stumptown Printers.

I’m thinking a trace paper belly band or interior envelope of some sort.

And since we’ll be married in a picturesque little church, I’d like to create a line-drawing similar to this one out of the photos I have of the church and other ’place’ details:

Perhaps the stenciling and stained glass inside the church.

And for addressing the envelopes, I’m loving those wrap labels everyone is doing these days. It really elevates the label, but it’s still totally user friendly. Here are some nice ones via I-DIY.

Are you using any interesting textures or paper for your invitations?

I love the quality of Gmund paper. You can get free samples directly from their site, and I got some of the woodgrain just to see what it looked like : )

Because I plan on sewing on my invitations, I decided to go with a linen textured paper, (by Gmund) to emulate fabric.

That paper is so cool… it’s also a less expensive option for brides who admire the wood engraved invites (that usually starts around $10!)

@Miss Poodle: You’re silly!

I couldn’t get him to cave on the wood texture, he thought it was too country for his modern taste. But, we did use some adorable wood shake roofing to make coasters!

I’m still in love with the wood paper! I’ve really got to get on the ball and figure out how to incorporate it into my paper items, but I’m reluctant to break into my 5 free sample pages!
