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.....

Of course the envelops had to say "open me" on the back...

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.)

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!

One of the favors (still need to think of another one). They are just tea bags...

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!

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!
