Hiya Hive, so nice to see you again. 
Mrs. Apple Cider here from NYC. Writing for Weddingbee was such a delightful experience. I loved every minute of it. Choosing my favorite post was super hard. I must say that I loved sharing all of my DIY projects. I think my favorite post was introducing our invitations to the hive. We worked so hard on them and truly loved creating them. It’s been a year since we got married and Mr. AC and I are doing well. We are still in love and still enjoying our time as husband and wife (over a year now!). We are super pumped to be moving back to North Carolina in a few months. I hope you are all enjoying your wedding plans and love the process as much as I do.
~~~
What a process our invitations were! They seriously took me months, but they were worth it!
These were the pieces that I created:
[INVITATION & ENCLOSURE]
[RSVP CARD]
[INFO CARD]
[MAP]
[TAG]
What I bought:
TOTAL COST: $281 or $2.81 each
For the final packaging we went with dark brown enclosures and decided to use vellum envelopes.
[ENCLOSURES WITH INVITE AND RSVP]
[THE ENVELOPES ALL PUT TOGETHER]
[THE BACK OF THE ENVELOPES]
That paper is amazing, I’m so jealous. Great job!
Great to see you back Mrs. AC, from one App Alum to another 
Those are gorgeous! I had been thinking of a way to spice up my outside envelope but wasn’t sure what to do and I love the tree you have on the back of yours! How did you do that?
I love love love the tree on the back of your envelopes. Did you emboss those like that?
Also, because this has been a hot button issue on the boards, how did your guest perceive the fact that you put your registry information inside of your invitations?
They are absolutely lovely and that font is one of my favorites!
@Sarah: Go Mountaineers!!
@Falcon: Falcon, I used a stamp and embosser. It turned out to be really easy!!
@MsBrooklynA: Ms Brooklyn our guests seemed totally fine with the registry info. Especially since we included it as a small side piece. I think it is ok to include.
I remember when you first posted this and I loved loved loved them then…and nothing has changed, they are amazing!!
I started reading weddingbee long after this post originally went up. I love everything about these invitations! They are by far my favorite that I have EVER seen anywhere! The colors, fonts, map, simplicity, everything about them is beautiful. The only word I can think of is “perfect!” Sorry to swoon, but I can’t help it!
I love the dark pocketfolds with vellum envelopes! Did you do the addresses with your printer, or hand-write them?
Which font did you use?
Hey! It’s always awesome to see other peoples’ maps in their invites… but it’s even more awesome to see them and go “Hey, that’s exactly where I live!” 
(But my personal GPS-ing aside…)
These are absolutely beautiful 
Beautiful colors, beautiful design… just beautiful!
@Miss Cinnamon Bun: I used the printer!
@Liz: Liz, I used Albemarle Swash
@BlueRidgeMere: I love the NC mountains!!!!
These invititations are amazing!! They are exactly what I am looking for! I have been searching the internet for bird invites and have not been able to find anything close to what I want. If you don’t mind me asking how did you design the invites? Would you be interested in sharing your design of the tree with the birds, the birds on the branch, the rsvp design and the tag? I would be willing to pay for them as well. Just message me back. Thanks so much!!!
Hi,
I love your designs, I love the paper, I love the Envelopes!!
Could you please message me with all the details of where you got the tree designs, Invite and Card Designs.
Thank you very much!!!
WHat is the plain font that you used? Where did you get the tree/birds?
Can you please message me as well how you made the invites?? What stamp did you use?? A template would be awesome as well. I have DIY invites that are just like these and I love the design.
Would you be willing to share your tree with me? If so my email acohick0@gmail.com
