Here are mine, as promised. I hope the link works! The actual invites were all from Pure Invitation. The stickers, magnets and RSVP cards were from Vistaprint and I've got business cards (for placecards), Thank You notes and all sorts of other stuff to match!

They are lovely, thats pretty much exactly the style I want. Had at look at Pure Invitation and so far they look to be the best supplier. Did you order a sample before ordering, and did you do your own printing?
Im looking at having a chocolate brown pocketfold invite, with cream inserts and a cream bow on the front. Need two inserts and an RSVP card.
Quick invites question, for the evenings do you add the same inserts as for the day? Im planning on printing directions and a map to hotel we are having the whole day at, and then another insert for the gift list information and hotel discount code, then obviously the RSVP card. Id like to do a much simpler invitation for the evening than for the day

Hi. Thank you. I was pleased with them because I am not at all arty or crafty - took me about 50 goes to get a decent bow in the ribbon!:eek:

I did order samples of everything beforehand. I think it cost a couple of quid including postage, but you can get each item in different colours to see how they compare.

I tried to do my own printing but couldn't get the precut card size on my printer, so ended up sending it to Pure Invitation. They were very helpful - though I do have all the pre-cut card left that I couldn't use!
