    Hi ladies i just foud this website just now where i could buy invites that was about 75% off the original price but the only problem was there wasnt the full amount of invites that i needed to i ordered different pockefold sizes. Well i was thinking that not everyone is going to see each others invites so it doesnt really matter if they arent all the same really does it?

    I have 42 invites for £18.54 and i had to pay £3.99 for postage. Is this a bargain or not? So including postage it works out at 54p per invite

    I think thats quite good!

    Most invite iv seen are about £2 each for the theme i want,
    Im just going to get plain white invites and add a bit of my butterfly confetti for the tables to bring the cost down and my invites still go with my theme!

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    I brought one butterfly box sample off eBay cost 99p and then brought card and copied the bitterly box pattern and made them out of card from the works or the range, the cards for the invites i brought from the works 4.99 for 50 or 100
    And then I brought a scrap pack from the works to use that scrap pack for the colour card I needed to get the butterfly cut outs from.
    I brought a personalised g and j stamp off eBay (also using this stamp to stamp the g and j on the napkins)

    The order of service cards I brought from the range for 8 pound for 50 and then I spent ages working out how to print the writing on them (using paper at first didn't want to waste the card I just brought) then I chose a picture I liked of me and my other half and then printed out like 10 on a page cut them out and out in the middle of the order of services ;)

    The card for the table names (the tables are being names after navy ships as my other half is in the navy) I brought from the range 2pound for 10 or 15 can't quiet remember lol then printed the names out on the printed and added butterflies ;)

    The actual people's names for the table I brought off eBay 100 for 4.99 ;)

    The scrolls I found a nice poem on the Internet then printed them out in to nice fancy hard paper and brought navy blue ribbon to tie the scrolls up ;)

    If you ladies need any ideas I will try and help ;) I have done a degree in art and also interior design so I am pretty arty farty ;)

    I will have to take some photos and put them on my profile so you can see them ;) x
