So making the invitations is one of the parts of wedding planning I am looking forward to the most. Many who have gone the DIY route with invitations have warned that it is more stressful and time consuming than they expected, so I decided to spend the summer making the invites, even though they will not be mailed until the beginning of November. To get a head start, I have been working on a basic outline for a couple months. No matter what I did though, it felt too boring. (Sorry, I am not posting anything until I have something I am more excited about!) Then I decided to go ahead and purchase this:
Then I decided that I better at least have an idea of the colors and layout of the paper before I can finalize the printing, so I went ahead and ordered samples of some Stardream paper to check colors and weight for printing. I decided to check out:

Last, I decided to order some supplies from Paper Source... Because let's be honest, they have my heart. (Dear Paper Source, Please open a store in Atlanta!) Plus, I got the idea for my design from some of their DIY suggestions, so it seemed only fitting. I decided to get some flat paper and some eco-white cover weight paper:
(the screen shot accidentally included the label, whoops!)
So once all of this gets to me, and I actually decide on what I am doing, I will post some more clues here! Stay tuned!
