    Hi CBQ

    Here is a photo of what her order looked like - I have a photo of the inside of the invitations, but it has her personal details on it and I don't know how to blur them out, but if you would like me to send you it by PM, please ask and I'll do that for you.

    She ordered 100 invitations, place cards, save the date cards, orders of service, menus, table numbers, favour boxes, table plan and personalised guest book.

    Sally - wow!

    Can you pm me the inside of the invitations? I would definitely be interested in ordering from you.

    We would need about 65-70 invitations and RSVPs (with envelopes), 1 table plan, plus 110 orders of service, menus and thank you cards, and possibly vintage looking luggage tags as place names. And a guest book if possible!

    We don't really want anything too elaborate - just an ordinary folded card (maybe brown paper for that vintage look?) and I have some designs that I want to use. We would be using our own photo for the thank you cards - if that's something that you could do for us then that would be fab. :)

    Thanks xx

    Wanchai - you could tie yours with lengths of lace for a vintage look. And hand made paper for the 'frame' of the names.

    I've ordered all my stationery from various sellers on ebay. My wedding invitations I got from this seller

    http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Invitations-by-Design

    They were perfect, exactly what I asked for and to get the same quality elsewhere would have cost me more than 4 times the cost. Everyone commented on how lovely they were so as far as I was concerned the fact I got them off ebay made no difference, why pay more for the same thing? I even thought about doing them myself but when I costed it it would have cost me more to do the same invitations! I saved a little money by opting to tie the bows myself and thats maybe something I'd change as it was really time consuming and frustrating at times and you can buy them with the ribbons pre-tied.

    Just want to thank you for this link. OH and I have decided to go with these and she is sending me a free sample! Lovely lady and would definately recommend her!
