Yay! Shower Invites Finished!

P: 3/15/2009 3:21:55 PM
mia1181 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,383 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/25/2006	I am finally finished with my sister's shower invites, enclosures, and favors! I am mostly happy with how they turned out (the perfectionist in me will never be totally satisfied!) Anyway, the theme is Mad Hatter Tea Party. I took the pictures on a dark day so I had to brighten them which makes them a little too bright, but pretty true to color. Here we go..... Front & Inside:

diamondseeker2006 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 17,609 Last Post: 11/18/2009 Member Since: 1/11/2006	Those are the nicest shower invitations I have ever seen!!! Is the bride's name indicated on there somewhere? Just want to be sure they know who it is for! (ETA: I now see there is an enclosure..it must be on there.) ~~~ When in doubt...don't.~~~

mia1181 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,383 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/25/2006	I was happy with how the colors matched well (or close enough) the decorative paper on the invites was from Michael's, the paper for the directions was from Paper-Source and matched the blue from the decorative paper. Then I had to test a lot of different colors on the printer to make the labels and teabag tag. The envelopes were from a random online store and luckily matched, because Paper-Source envelopes were much more expensive.

Yes I blurred her name out for privacy or internet safety or whatever!

mia1181 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,383 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 10/25/2006	Thanks everyone, I really enjoy doing things like this, so it was fun. Diamondseeker- Ha ha! No way would I try to sell these, too much work! Although I do enjoy being crafty. Plus it would be more difficult if I knew I had a customer to please, because I'd want everything to be perfect! Claritek- Thanks, I'll definitely add it to the DIY thread! Def, Maybe- Thanks, I actually copied the idea off of something similar I saw on Etsy. I thought tea bags although not a very glamerous favor, fit perfectly with the theme. Kittybean- Thanks, I hope everyone likes them. Even my sister won't see them until they come in the mail. I hope they get everyone excited for the party! Dboatsupreme- Thanks for the compliment. I consider myself a somewhat creative person, but I think my real talent is "borrowing" ideas that I've seen other places. I did a lot of research and took ideas from here and there. Modern Sparkler- Thanks. Yes it was a lot of work! The surprising part was that the most work or most time-consuming part was researching ideas, going to stores for materials, making decisions and dealing with things that go wrong. The actual assembly took me about 2-3 evenings. But I enjoy doing things like this so it was fun. Ice-queen- Thanks. I hope I'm not overdoing it but I like all the extra little touches! Emerald Lover- Thanks for the compliment!

Definitely, Maybe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 581 Last Post: 5/6/2009 Member Since: 1/12/2009	I goes perfectly with the theme. I don't think it has to be glamorous... then again I know nothing about tea. At least you made it the brides favorite kind. I probably wouldn't have thought of that!
