wedding invite ... what do you think

got the wedding invite mocked up, OH and i finally agreed on a design lol

just wanted to see what you thought about it? thankfully it's fairly simple to make but something different ... well i haven't seen any invites out there like it.

the middle white bit is put on with 3d foam dots so it sits out a bit and the full information will be on the back of the card. the front of the card is a linen like texture but the back is plain. i'm just making it a single sheet of card i didn't want it too fussy.

had to smudge the church and reception details though the rest of the stuff is pretty much somewhere else on the site anyway :D

    I think that it looks fantastic! A really lovely keepsake, it wouldn't look odd in a frame! :D
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    thanks folks, took me and OH a while to finally get it just right but i'd come across a wordle site (https://www.wordle.net) and thought it would be a cool idea for a wedding invite design although i did it myself rather than putting all the words into the wordle site.

    then i found some nice pics to put in the background to fill up the white spaces (dandelions and butterflies.... rather random but worked out rather well lol)

    i spend ages and ages over the space of a few weeks coming up with about 10 different invite designs and then handed them to my OH to see what he thought and for some suggestions. after a bit of tweeking and some suggestions from him we came up with that!

    thankfully it's easier to do than the wedding invitations i made for my sister lol

    Very nice! Modern and classy looking. Everyone on here is so creative - I haven't got a creative bone in my body and will probably end up buying mine readymade!
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    joho it's amazing what you can do with a computer and searching for specific images through google. i must admit i'm a computer geek and love crafty stuff always have but you can still do great things with stuff you can put together online.

    although i had to use specific software to manipulate the images (they were initally black and had a back ground so i had to get rid of it and invert the colour) but if you want to try and make your own invites and need any help let me know and i'll do my best.
