I hate wedding invites. Why did I choose to DIY again?

FH and I have been going back and forth about wedding invitations. I found ones on Wedding Paper Divas that I LOOOOOVE, but FH doesn't like them. At all. Plus they're $250 and he already knows I have one I made (with the help of the internet) on my laptop. SO after much debating and many many MANY...

FH and I have been going back and forth about wedding invitations. I found ones on Wedding Paper Divas that I LOOOOOVE, but FH doesn't like them. At all. Plus they're $250 and he already knows I have one I made (with the help of the internet) on my laptop. SO after much debating and many many MANY edits..... I think we have a final invite. I'm glad we're starting this early because I'm lazy and this sucks. Anyway, here they are. I might make the RSVP cards a bit smaller and I was thinking about using the same corner punch as the invites, but wasn't sure. I attached a picture of the corner punch options so feel free to give your input. We will wrap the 2 together with a little twine and maybe a bit of blush ribbon. I'm also going to print A I (our initials) on little 2" burlap or kraft paper hearts and tie those in with the twine and ribbon.

    Those look awesome. I am annoyed because I have to get a paper cutter so I can trim my rsvp cards because I screwed up the size in in design and can't get it to print correctly :-( oh well it won't take me to long I don't have many to do

    Sorry I've been mia. I've been working on the wedding website trying to keep my mind off of the home buying stuff. I found the template online here http://ahandcraftedwedding.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/DIY-mint-invitation-template-2-per-page-ahandcraftedwedding.png

    I made about 7 different invitations on Photoshop, but FH is quite picky and these were the only ones we really agreed on lol. So technically, someone else put all the effort in. We just filled in the blanks. I just ordered 70 invites and 70 RSVP cards for Vista Print for $78. We upgraded to the linen paper.... They were having a 30% off sale, so now was the time lol. I'm going to use the same hole punch for both and the names have been adjusted to be as even as possible. Oh! There aren't going to be any elderly people invited to the wedding. We're both in our 30's and neither of us have grandparents. Everyone we're inviting is definitely tech savvy. @Surfergirl I was going to put a thin coat of Mod Podge on burlap to stiffen it, then use a 2" heart punch to cut them out after I've run the burlap through the printer. Your invitations are gorgeous btw Smiley smile @Denise R. LOL yea it's me on IG... Same picture as on here... LexiMarti

    OMG these look fantastic! I feel like a chump for buying mine now. I think centering the names on the invite is the ONLY thing I would change =)

    I was going to tie my invites together with lace and then I went to the post office to have them weighed, and it was going to cost me an extra 30 cents to send them, so I decided to skip that and use my lace to tie together sparklers.

    I think yours look great! Don't spend that $250, it is not worth it because guests don't even care for invitations that much.
