the Invitations
I originally was going to have my invitation designed by someone on etsy....until they didn't reply back to me for two weeks, and I took matters into my own hands. A friend of mine told me that you can adjust powerpoint into specific sizes and also create them into pdfs. I found out from cardsandpockets.com what the invitation and insert sizes should be, and created a slide for each in powerpoint. After I was done, I sent them to my friend, who converted the files into pdfs.
Below is what I came up with - it's not super fancy:
1.) 5x7 panel pocket fold in metallic bronze (cards and pockets.com)
2.) the invitation (this will printed from Kwik Kopy using metallic champagne paper from cardsandpockets.com - size 4.5 x 6.5)
3.) on the back of the pocket fold, 5 inserts: bridal party, directions, reception, accommodation/website, and rsvp cards
--Insert sizes: Bridal Party - 4.5 x 6.5, Directions - 4.5 x 5.75, Reception 4.5 x 5, Accommodation 4.5 x 4.25, RSVP - 4.5 x 3.5
--This will printed from Kwik Kopy using metallic champagne paper from cardsandpockets.com.
4.) double faced light pink satin ribbon from Hobby Lobby (Item #488833) - 5/8'' x 15 feet
5.) stamps - wedding ring design from USPS
Fonts used: English, Book Antique

the Envelopes
This is the back of the envelopes
the Stamps
the stamp for the RSVP envelope (so excited USPS had something!)
the back of the RSVPs
I copied this idea from JanuaryBride who had their guests draw on the back. This is what ours said: What will Ryan and May look like on their wedding day? Show them! Draw a picture on the back of this card. Not an artist? Leave them some advice or a note! We can't wait to share the day with you!
I put it all together on a canvas board.
