But that's all over and it is time to enjoy the summer! So I want to share with you all the invitation I received from Theresa, the lovely and resourceful lady whose wedding I am in on August 1st.
Theresa balked at spending hundreds of dollars on expensive, professional-made invitations, so she decided to make her own!
Theresa fell in love with the "pocket" style of invitation when her sister was getting married a few years ago, so she incorporated that and filled the pocket with tiered information cards. I think the postcard RSVPs make a lot of sense, too--not only do you save money on postage, you save paper, they take up less space, and there's nothing for you to spend time opening upon their return.
Theresa bought the basic brown invitation/pocket holder and cut out the different-sized cards that have information on the rehearsal dinner, accommodations, directions and an RSVP. She made her own templates on Microsoft Office and printed them on a new printer she bought from Apple.
The best part is not only that Theresa saved money, but that she got exactly what she wanted. While she had to spend a considerable amount of time doing this, the end product was definitely worth it--these are beautiful!
