    Phyzelda - Would you mind telling me how much they work out at per invite?

    Im planning on doing something very similar and have been looking at pre-made invites that you just have to print on and assemble and they cost around £2 each.

    Thanks

    They look small until you start building them up. I thought exactly the same when they came flat packed

    Holiday was lovely thank you

    Ok here it goes, hope you are sitting down :rotfl:(Drum roll please)

    A bank breaking £1.27

    The breakdown:

    32p Pocket fold (due to number purchased)
    12p Champagne sheet (one per invite)
    60p Burgundy backing card
    10p Velcro Dots (depends where you buy them) (can vary)
    8p Ribbon (35cm needed per invite)
    5p Glue
    £1.27
    ======

    :j:T

    Plus doing it this way, they are one of a kind and made with the personal touch (and that to me adds value)

    They're gorgeous! I really want to make my own but I worry that they'll look awful!

    One question if you don't mind me being too nosy - what font did you use? I really like it!
  • They're really fab! Well done you! x
