    I printed mine and then added ribbon and cut out butterfly shapes with a cutter and added a jewel. Pictures in my album if you want to see. I thought they were simple yet effective x x

    My tip is to remember to buy extra cards etc to allow for.mistakes and print practice ones on regular paper cut to size first. Oh, and when You print do it in small batches.

    Pocket fold ones are popular as you can put a sheet of info (directions etc) in the pocket that people can keep & use on the day.
    Bear in mind the weight/thickness of your design - if you're sending out 100 invites how much will that be in postage if its bumped up to the next weight category?

    Other than that have fun, and there's nothing to stop you from having more than one design if that's what you want! :-)

    You could make you own design and get an on-line print company to make card copies. Around £30 for 500 is the average price.

    hey, thanks mrsdeaton2be. that would be amazing. daft question, do i need to do anything now for blogger account etc?? thank you.

    i picked two shades of red because i want a deep/red wine red dress with calla lillies and my bridesmaids are having ivory with red flower headbands and roses. my theme is red and ivory and the font is coffee tin which is downloadable from internet. i thought it gave off retro/circusy/sweets feel to it as im doing willy wonka gold ticket chocolate bars as wedding favours and each table centre piece represents the name of the table. ie bon bon table has a tall jar full of bon bons and then assorted sweets scattered around the jars like lovehearts, parma violets, drumsticks etc :)
