I finally have time to upload pictures of my DIY invitations, months after they have been completed! lol I have to apologize as I only have low quality iPhone pictures while my camera is out of commission. So without further ado....
Supplies
*The Pocket Folds (Metallic Onyx), Invitation Mats (gold leaf), and Custom Printing were all purchased at www.cardsandpockets.com .
*My sister in law designed the invitations and then my sister and myself glittered them all up with Martha Stewart glitter (smokey quartz).
*We applied the Invitation Mats and Invitations with Staples brand permanent glue tape, we ended up having to buy approximately 15 cartridges for 75 invitations, luckily they are not very expensive.
I was really happy with how the invitations turned out and even though it was A LOT of work we saved a lot of money doing it ourselves. I was very proud of them when they were sent out. It took us about a week to complete, working in the evenings. We have been getting *SO* many wonderful compliments about them too! I couldn't be more impressed with the service at Cardsandpockets, I dealt with Bonnie and she was very prompt in answering my questions and getting my samples and orders to me in a timely manner. If we were having a bigger wedding I am not sure I would have tackled this DIY project but because of our smaller guestlist I felt it was well worth the time and effort.
