Engagement Dinner InvitationThis invitation was created with inspiration from a VistaPrint sample invite and an invitation found in a bridal magazine. We put the two ideas together, found some great quotes online and we have our invitation. We used the shell border punch by Martha Stewart (from Michael's) to create the border on the aqua colored card stock. The party was hosted by the Mother of the Bride while the choice of restaurant was made by FI's family.

Save the Date
There was a lot of trial and error done before we arrived to our final product. Originally, we wrote in the sand but had a really hard time getting the ocean to play the part of the background. Eventually, we used Photoshop and combined photos together to get our save the date picture. We ordered our save the date magnets from Vistaprint.com.

The Wedding Invitation
Here is our invitation! Part of it is DIY and part of it will be ordered for printing. The actual invitation has a shell boarder with aqua coloring to match our color scheme. This is the part that will be ordered for printing. We elaborated the actual invitation by adding a sea glass metallic cover gate fold. I bought ribbon and designed our monogram to create a belly band. Though I created my own templates using Adobe Illustrator, all of the inserts were inspired by knottie, Squirrly.

Rehearsal Dinner Invitation
Our Rehearsal Dinner Invite. We used our left over card stock and ribbon from our invitation to create these lovely invitations. We bought jewelry boxes from boxesandwrap.com to put the invitation in for mailing so that the shells or starfish did not break in transit. The brown paper is from AC Moore. The paper is embossed to look and feel like burlap. The blue paper was ordered from thepapercompany.com. We printed our picture on avery shipping labels and used the same left over ribbon to seal the boxes. The ribbon is from jkmribbon.com. We found the offray ribbon cheaper here than spending more money at Michaels for the same thing.
