Weddings #1 - Wedding invites

Downloads..

I have already blog about the invites - but I have added some stuff to it..

This is our Wedding invite! I wanted a really full invite, with a few bits. So I have the main invite, a map, more info and the RSVP all held together with the cover and tied with string. All on the illustrations are my own - I painted them in water colour and the font was a great one I found online. The paper was 100gsm water colour A4 pad which has a creamy tint which I cut to size (I got this from my local emporium) . The outside is brown card from manilla folders (I bought I pack of 50).

Once the invites were done I wanted the envelope to like fun too! So I went to my post office and got a range of different amount stamps - 20c, 5c, 10c , 50c etc. They were very helpful at the post office!

For the 'sender' info on the back I used my DIY stamp to make it fast and look vintage.

I made 70 invites

Cost:

$25 Envelopes

$6 pad of paper (100 sheets)

$5 Minilla Folders

$2 String

$50 ink for my printer

(just the invite) Total $88

The postage to send my 70 invites was $100

Engagment Invites!

So my partner Sam proposed to my a couple of weeks ago!! super exciting!! and now comes all the fun-ness of organising a wedding!! We want a DYI wedding with a vintage/rustic theme - as we have a very little budget. I am going to blog all of these fun parts and how I have done it on our little budget. so here we go...

Here is my first part - the engagement party invite. I have designed them like a vintage envelope the folds up and closed with a sticker. I used Manilla folders as I wanted a heavy brown textured card that I could print on to, fold and stick - ready to go with my need for envelopes. I made 40 invites.

Cost:

$2 for the manilla folders ( I brought 100 for $20 which I will use for the wedding invites)

$20 stamps!

$1 sticker paper
