The best advice is to keep it simple. Do the invites in stages, kind of like a production line.

Velum or tracing paper can look good over the top of a stamped invite, tied with some nice ribbon or cord.

In the craft shop today I saw peel off stickers that said: Wedding invitation and Evening invitation.

I would agree, keep it simple, something you can repeat over and over again. I have seen a stamp with a wedding cake on it, you can heat emboss it with nice embossing powder. Or get a heart punch and punch out two hearts and mount them. What are the bride and groom after? Traditional, Funky, soft pastels, or are they leaving it up to you? I would make a couple of examples and let them choose which one they like best.

Hey I am also doing my friends invites!

First thing we are going to do is sit down and she is going to show me some things she likes the idea of. We will then discuss colours etc.

Ill make a proof and show her. If she liked it well go from there!
