Well…pretty close to finished. 
I still need to add a lot of text and the photos need a bit of work but it’s now a whole lot better than the kludge-fest of an initial draft I made last week.
It was really everyone’s suggestions, along with a couple emails back and forth with our resident graphic designer, Miss Giraffe, that helped to get us to this final design. Giraffe gets total credit for the entire design on the first and last pages because I couldn’t have come up with that awesomeness on my own.
I also finished the postcard RSVP that we will send with the invitation:
I am going to add one of the wedding photos from the invitation as the front of the postcard. So what do you think? Big improvement? Do you think there are any changes I need to make or wording that needs to be tweaked?
This is so cute!
Just an FYI…THEIR on the last page is spelled wrong…oops!
Just to warn you in case you didn’t catch it, but on your actual invitation part, it’s spelled their not thier…hope you can fix it! I accidentally almost sent out invites with the word “daughter” misspelled!
“Their” is misspelled, fyi. Other than that, it looks great!
An under the stars tapas party sounds like so much fun! Kudos to you and Miss Giraffe for coming up with such a creative invitation!
love it!!!!!!!! i was also gonna say “their” is misspelled but everyone else beat me to it 
Adorable! I’m a proof reader by profession, though, and I just wanted to point something out: on your “They Met” page, the sentence that begins, “At Western Michigan University” need some commas. It’s also not a complete sentence because it begins with “at” and not a real subject. If that bothers you, I suggest just restating “they met,” i.e., “They met at Western Michigan University, and if you ask Chris, it was love at first sight.”
Hope that helps! Great job!
…and after leaving a comment about proofreading, I make a typo. *needs.
That’s what I get for surfing the bee at work.
I really like the tweaks to the design elements. Looks great!
Gorgeous!
One other grammar thing on the RSVP is that you use “Help US” then “THEIR love story” (i.e. first person then third person). Maybe try “Help us write the next chapter in OUR love story” or “Help them write the next chapter in their love story”?
I was just re-reading the invite (because it’s so pretty!) and saw another few things.
1. On the last page of the book, “marrigae” should be “marriage”.
2. You’re missing a comma after 2011 (i.e. it should be “June __, 2011, at ….”).
3. Because “under the stars” is used as an adjective, I think it should be hyphenated (i.e. “for an under-the-stars tapas party”).
These are all really little things that no one would probably notice, I’m just being nitpicky! Ignore any/all of it if you want!
This is gorgeous! I really love the fonts and how everything is laid out (:
I absolutely ADORE this! it is fantastic, cute and I love the story motif.
Just a thought - if you put your picture on the front of the postcard, they can’t keep the picture which they might want to do. . .
i love this! i wish i’d thought of it - sounds so fun
It looks fantastic. Props to Miss G for her awesome design skills.
