You've Got Mail!

Note: I'm going to do the invitation posts backwards. Dont argue. It's how I want to do them.

Isn't it fun to receive a pretty colored envelope addressed with your name in a fancy font? Yeah, I know. I hope that everyone that receives an invitation in their mailbox thinks they are as pretty as I do.


Alright. Time to see how everything came together.

The outside of the envelope. Font is Edwardian Script. And there's my cute little stamps. Let's open the envelope.

It wasnt planned, but I really like how the monogram fits perfectly in the V of the envelope. Oh and another thing that wasnt completely planned, but worked out well -- the envelope liner. The flourish design matched the details of the monogram.

Once you take the invitation out of the envelope, you will see this. I used extra strips left over from the cardstock to create a belly band strategically placed over our names. If you've been paying attention to previous posts, the original belly bands I bought werent used. They ended up being too small and the purple wouldnt have matched.

Flip the invitation over and you will see that the belly band is holding in place the insert card. This view shows the rsvp card. When I was doing research for our invitations, I saw on Twin Ravens Press' website that one couple had their insert card printed with information on top and an rsvp printed on the bottom. In between was a perforation so that guests could detach the rsvp. It was something unique that I wanted to do with our invitations and Kristin was happy to do it for ours.

Flip over the insert and you will find information for our room block and our website.

And there you have it. Our invitation! I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Next up, I'll share the pieces and some other details.
