Since I know all you're really interested in are pictures, I'll get to those right away. Please excuse the terrible erasing job on some of these.
I *LOVE* our envelopes. They're the perfect shade of green and metallic and so freaking amazing. I never thought I would, you know, care about envelopes. But I do. I do so much.
I would do dirty things to these envelopes if they weren't going out to 200 people. Jk...maybe.
The back. Those wrap-around labels...man oh man. I'll explain the saga in another post.
This is the digital file of the invitation because I was tired of editing the pics I took.
Our ridiculously full RSVP card. I'm positive 98% of our guests will fill these out wrong.
The whole suite. I didn't block out our info on this one. I'm lazy and mad at my computer.
Please don't steal my identity.
Also, you'll see the accommodations card on here. I figured you probably don't care about that one, hence the lack of a close-up.
Oh, and say hi to Tyler :)

My friend Sophie did an amazing job interpreting my vision. I honestly would not change one single thing about these invitations. Please check out her website, SophieNemethy.com. Her paintings are absolutely stunning and she has become an equally amazing graphic designer.
Honestly, I don't think doing my own invitations saved me any money. I bought all the materials but paid some one else (quite a bit more than I wanted) to print them. However, I never set out to necessarily "save" money. I wanted my invitations to turn out exactly how *I* wanted and I just didn't see that happening by picking something from the internet. Plus, I was able to work with my good friend which meant unlimited meetings/revisions!
Did you work with a "friendor" on your invitations or any other part of your wedding? How was your experience?
I LOVE the green... it looks so delicious! I used a friendor and it didn't save me money but it let me get exactly what I want, and that was worth it!
ReplyDeleteLove love love the invites! Good job girl!
Wow they look great!!
ReplyDeleteI stressed about the color of our envelopes for 2 days! Isn't it crazy how we let these things bother us?! ...I mean in the end they will all end up in the recycling bin ( I hope!) anyways...but still...there's just something about the perfect color of envelope that seems to tie the entire invite suite together! I love that you went with a bold green...very nice!
They look fabulous! We did ours on our own and loved the way they came out -- simple but classy.
ReplyDeleteLove them! The green envelopes are so pretty! I think I want our envelopes to be in a color, too. Also love how they look with the "celebrate" stamp! We used the same stamps for our save-the-dates :o)
ReplyDeleteThey are so gorgeous....congrats on getting those done!
ReplyDeleteThey look really, really great. Congrats on getting them out.
ReplyDeleteYour invites are gorgeous! Hope the guests love them too!
ReplyDeleteI went with translucent vellum envelopes so i didnt have to worry about the colour matching!
Your invitations look great! We are using a friend/colleague of Mr. Milk's who is a printer to print ours. We designed them, bought the paper and he is printing them at cost. I think the design aspect saved us some money. Oh and hello Tyler!
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous!!! Your envelopes are awesome...they totally remind me of my envelopes too - and I would also do dirty things to them cause I love them oh so much!
ReplyDeleteEm, they are amazing! I love your envelopes, too. The wrap around labels worked well :) Your response card is not difficult at all and I love that you let them request a song :) We have that option on our wedding web site for guests.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am in LOVE with your response envelope. So cute. Everything looks wonderful. You did such a great job. Congrats! And how exciting to start getting your responses back now
They turned out great! LOVE the paper & envelopes you chose... They really put the cherry on top. Too bad the photos don't quite do the rich color & sparkles justice. Haha and I love the kitty paws reaching in to try to ruin your shot in the bottom photo! (Thanks for the shout out)
