Yes, we made our own invitations. Perhaps it was a bit silly and I really wish that I had thought about double sided tape earlier. Oh well, you live and learn. The thing I liked about our invitations is the simplicity and the fact that most of the cuts were either 1/2 a page or a 1/4 of a piece of 8.5″ x 11″ paper.
Here is a run down on what we stuffed into our invitations:
- Invitation (5.5″ x 8.5″- half a sheet of paper)
- RSVP card in envelope with return address and stamp (5.5″ x 4.25″ – quarter of a sheet of paper)
- Map (as shown here)
- Out of Town information (a map, accomodation information and suggested activities)
- Registry card (I know some people think it’s tacky, but there would have been lots of confusion and angst if we hadn’t.)
I printed the addresses directly on all the envelopes, using the wonderful program called “Mail Merge” in Word. You should try it!
Coming up, a run down on how to make the invitations!
These look so cute! Can’t wait for more details
