Invitations - take forever!

So the last few days, I have been tweaking and creating our invitations, and I'm happy to report all is done on the way of printing side except the map.

Here's were we are at now!

The Invitation:

The RSVP Card

The Reception Card

So its all coming together after my disaster of my last invitations. The idea from here is to create the map, and then create the paper band that I'm going to use to keep these together. A friend of mine is letting me use her cuttlebug machine, so there could be some fancy embossing going on.

But I'm keen to have a play on the cuttlebug machine as I don't have one.... yet... :P

RSVP - So are you coming??

(pic above: RSVP sitting pretty in the invite!)

My RSVP cards are done! (you have no idea how good it is to type the word DONE!!)

Just posting piccies! We made a mistake tho - we put the options down for RSVP, so they can call, they can log online or they can send the card back, but we forgot to write the word OR in between them all, so if someone RSVPs three times, we know why! So I have to come up with some creative little poem or tag or something to fix it. But I will worry about that in February. (I've got a timeline for these things jk!)

(RSVP ready for its close up!)

I'm not quite sure what happened with the lighting in these photos, but they are the same papers. :) I have still yet to complete accommodation card and map! Still to come!
