morning
made the mock ups of the wedding invites last night :T and wanted to know what you think. they're VERY simple but i like them. just worried they're too simple...?!



those are the invites. the evening ones are the same, except they say 'Evening Invitation' on front.



the RSVP cards - the vellum says 'with this ring'. on the other side we are going to stick a label with our names and address on then I will fill in their details and the Yes/No bit.



the Menu cards. i'm not sure about the rings on these :rolleyes: might take them off and just put 'menu' more central. they're bigger than the invites and just not sure it looks right. opinions please???

thank you cards are going to be card with a square or heart aperture (sp?) then either a pic of us printed off from the day or the off cuts of with this ring vellum - depends who gets their way out of me and OH (i want photos - that way its a thank you and a small gift)

what do you think?

Wow!! These are fab and so classy, I would be thrilled to receive one. Well Done

Hi Toniwoty, I love your wedding stationery. I often think with cards less is better. Sometimes it's hard to stop adding 'bits' but your cards look elegant as they are, well done!

Toniwoty, everything is fabulous! I think wedding statioary tends to be a bit simpler anyway, I think it looks more sophisticated that way. Don't change anything!

Love your gate card with a difference Polly, never seen a gatefold card that opens diagonally - it's really lovely and very different :j

polly your card is lovely and so clever. I had enough problems trying to fold the card to do a simple vertical fold:D

Polly, that card is fantastic, you are so clever, cutting it like that, lovey design too, love the rings

Toniwoty, lovely wedding stationary, easy enough to do lots of them.

I've just found a bargain, well I think I have. I found this site www.art-of-craft.co.uk and I found this: http://www.art-of-craft.co.uk/acatalog/K_and_Company_Sale.html
Its a k & co storage cabinet " Keep all your crafting needs in one place with this storage cabinet from K & Company. The perfect present for the avid crafter, this box is packed full of everything they could want - 43 cards with envelopes, three pocket cards, 14 sticker sheets, 24 pattern paper sheets, three folded vellum inserts, six printed vellum quotes, 24 mini brads, four buckles, three small metal charms, three ribbons, template with 27 shapes, idea booklet, two transfer sheets, six dividers with tab stickers, two postalettes and four diecut sheets. Comes complete with cabinet "

It costs £10, I've looked at loads of other places, some were selling it for £45, Artymiss had it for £25 but it was out of stock.
They had a few other items in the sale. Another K & co item that I found was a paper pad to make gorgeous paper flowers, everything is included. It costs £4.40, I have seen it elsewhere for £10 - £12.

Another great thing - its free postage until 30 June!! So pleased as I am now addicted to K & co, (I thought you might be tempted Rainmac). The only problem is I forgot to get it delivered to my Mums, so the OH is going to moan about me ordering more stuff - whoops!
