I know this isn't relevant now but just incase you find some more... If you cut it with a guilotene (sp) and make sure you've got it dead straight and the cutter is clean I thnk you'll be fine :-)

I'm not sure I follow...what about the greeting inside?! Surely that would still be there? More hassle than it's worth I am sure!

we are going to do a border inside then inside the border put the invite on white paper the border will go in colour with the car so if the picture was mainly black we would do a black border with white invite in the middle

not a lot of hassle for a lot of money saved

If you're going to that much effort you could buy blank cards - you can get 50 in a craft shop near me for £50 - and they wouldn't be so 'festive'!

There will be an issue with them fitting into the envelope if you cut them, so why not combine some of the ideas shared already - find some nice blank cards with envelopes, cut the front of the card off and trim it as necessary with a guillotine and then glue it to the front of the blank card. This will remove any text from the front or inside of the card

Go to Paper Mill - you can do their mix and match fill a box with paper/card for a fiver a box. Got everything for our 50 odd invites in three boxes (plus about a fiver for envelopes on top I think). Probably could have squeezed it into two boxes but I wanted lots of spare for when I ruined some of them lol.

we want festive though as we are doing a christmas wedding the reds greens golds holly berries etc so we liked the idea of sending xmas cards without the word happy christmas

think i'm gonna do it on visit print as i only need about 30 so it works out on vista for about £10
