Finally! Our invitation suite!

So this post is long overdue but I have now finally gotten round to showing you our labour of love aka our invitations.

I did all the design using Photoshop with Mr E’s input, except for the Guest Information Sheet which my dad did. My dad then got everything printed.

The full suite includes the invitation card, RSVP postcard, guest information leaflet and monogrammed envelope.

Tip: Give yourself enough time to get everything designed, proofed and printed. I didn’t realise how long the design process was going to take {I am a bit of a perfectionist to the nth degree}. We had hoped to get them out 8 weeks before, but they ended up going out 4 weeks before. More time would have been perfect.

Feedback from our guests has been very positive and I’m so happy with how they have turned out.

Enjoy!

So I saw many envelope inspiration ideas and in the end decided to go for having our monogram printed on it, with the words “You have been invited”, so as soon as you get the envelope you know what it is.

Once you open the envelope you are greeted to your ‘pack’. First up your invite…

 

The verse below is Proverbs 30:18-19

There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.

 

So after you have perused your invitation, it’s now time to make a decision as to whether you’re coming or not.

Enter our RSVP postcards…

My lovely girlfriend Janelle helped me make the back a postcard.

People were given the option of sending their RSVP online through our wedding website or via postcard. It’s so nice coming home to work, seeing the RSVP postcards that have been sent back, with all the lovely messages. They have been more popular than I thought!

Finally we {my dad} put together a Guest Information leaflet which has all the maps, directions and useful numbers etc. Anyone who still gets lost after all this information *shakes head in wonder…well I just don’t know!

So there you have it, our invitation suite…
