These DIY Invitations were originally inspired by designs from www.notfromabox.com, particularly the Park Avenue design, but we wanted square envelopment-type invites so we ended up just making them ourselves.
Below you can see they are using a template to get the main invitation glued onto the backing in the right place:
The front of the finished product (they did not use traditional inner envelopes so peoples names were printed here).
The inside of the finished product with the main invitation on the right side and the other pieces stacked on the left.
You can find the exact measurements and full assembly directions here.
All in all these invitations cost about $100 total to make (not including postage). The black paper is a linen cardstock that from www.paperandmore.com. The pink ribbon is a single-faced satin ribbon that from www.papermart.com and the white cardstock is Stardream Quartz from www.envelopemall.com. All of the printing was done on the Xerox printer at the bride's office.
Bride's Note: the Stardream cardstock was an absolute NIGHTMARE to print on, so much that Kinkos and Staples wouldn't even try it. It is very expensive to have it professionally printed because it cannot go through most standard laser printers and you cannot print it on a deskjet or inkjet because the ink does not dry throughly and will smudge when you mail it. The bride wishes she had known that before starting the project.
