wedding invites

the task...

my wedding invitation. includes map, rsvp card and wishing well note.

the end result....

materials...

180gsm linen card for main invite & rsvp card

90gsm linen paper for wishing well note & band

1/16" circle punch

3 different sized envelopes in black

'avery' labels

mini heart fasteners to hold band together

overall i am happy with the result. however, the band was fairly loose & as a result i have the feeling that it won't hold in the mail. it took me ages to put them together mainly because of printing margins & alignment. (things that i will have to figure out in the near future because it drove me insane lol)
