It''s really late, and I need to go to bed, but tonight I finished the first of my invites and I just have to share the pics! I''m heading to bed and might not get to PS until late tomorrow, so I''m sorry if I''m slow to respond to any posts.

I couldn''t find pocketfolds in the right color, so I''m making them myself from 12x12 cardstock. It took some creativity with the dimensions, but I managed to get a 5x7 folder out of each one. I can post a template later if anybody wants me to. I purchased stock vector art for the flowers and did some customization with it in Illustrator to get the designs I wanted. The printing was done at Kinkos, and it was soooooo worth paying them 50 bucks to do all the cutting for us (the invite card, RSVP, and 3 info inserts). We''re doing the pocketfolds, blue matting, ribbon, etc on our own.

Without further ado!!

Our guests'' names will be printed or written on the little white tag (like they would be on an inner envelope)
