I made the invitations myself. You may recall our Save the Dates, here are the invites.
Here's the pile of unfinished invitations.
We (I) decided on blue jackets/folders and pink envelopes.
Upon opening the folder, there is a picture of us, with the invitation on pink matting.
Blogger won't let me turn the pictures, sorry!
The 3rd part of the invite is the flap I folded and fastened with gromets/eyelets. This flap holds the map/directions card and the RSVP card/envelope.
The finished product!

Again, Blogger flipped my picture. This is the RSVP card.
The reception card/map/directions.
I used my Martha Stewart Craft Punch from Michaels to make lots of little anchors.
I ran the anchors through my Xyron® 150 Create-A-Sticker to make them into stickers. (Also purchased at Michaels.)
Blue anchors sealed the pink envelopes, and pink anchors held the blue invitation folders closed.
I created and assembled these all by my self. (My future bro-in-law did the graphic design and printing). I spent many hours on these and felt such relief to get them safely to the post office!

Wow! I just started reading your blog and felt compelled to tell you your invites are adorable. Were you a Delta Gamma? All this pink and blue and anchors has me thinking we may be sisters :)
You did such a great job! DIY'ing anything is so much fun!

Those look great! I can't believe there's a machine that will make stickers. Awesome.
I think my jaw just hit the floor! I am SO, SO, SO impressed with your invites :) They look amazing!!! If you don't mind me asking, how much did they end up costing?

How did I not know about the anchor craft punch?? I need to head to Michaels asap! These turned out great :)
