Where do you start? Where can I get stuff from? I am wanting to use my colour scheme Claret and Blue but want something simple so that we can do them. xxx

We have bought some blank cards from the r@nge, they were £4 for 50 with envelopes.

The plan was to then also buy some ribbon and make them look all pretty.... but we were stuck on what to put on the front ect.


I think we have now decided to cut the cards in half so we are just sending everyone a single sided invite, there are plenty of templates for invites online or we might just make something up ourselves.... print it off and stick it on the card.... depending on what we decide on, I might still stick some ribbon on, but not too bothered to be fair. I'm sure they'll look fine and at the end of the day they end up going in the bin anyway and we're not massively artistic people so if we try too much it would go the other way and end up looking a mess

I bought ivory hammered card, 50 ivory 6x6 envelopes and 125mm double sided purple satin ribbon off aam@zon totaling under £25 - will do about 50 invites. Plan is to print straight on the card with a pic design on front and then wrap ribbon around each individually.

so many ideas on p1ntrest and g00gle - have a look about and I'm sure you'll find something! good luck - we're planing on making ours too :D
