Since I love bright colors I used red, pink, orange, yellow, blue and green when I made these invitations. You could always stick with just two or three colors, though!
To make the invitations, first I BOUGHT:
- The actual basic invitation with the pocket (blue)
- Large square outer envelopes (pink)
- Small RSVP envelopes (red)
- Lots of stamps, colored card stock, and double-sided tape!
Then I CUT and PRINTED:
- My return address on the large outer envelopes
- The orange paper with the basic wedding information: date, time, etc:
- The pink insert with directions to the ceremony and the reception
- The orange insert with details about the reception
- The orange insert with details about the reception
- The green insert, which was the RSVP card: guests returned in the envelope with a meal choice
- Behind all of these inserts, I stuck a stamped RSVP envelope
Here's a picture of all those inserts, pulled out:
All that was left was to address the envelopes and send them off!
Oh yeah, and I couldn't decide on which colors I wanted to use, so I made some of the invitations using this color scheme instead:
I hope this post was able to give you some fun ideas. Happy creating!
