As promised, I’m sharing the invites I designed for MOH-Ho’s wedding. I worked really hard on making these efficient (the set is printed on a single sheet of 8.5×11 cardstock). While I thoroughly enjoy receiving a pretty invite, I also feel terrible when I throw out fancy sets that include so much material. So, I was thrilled that MOH-Ho and her parents appreciated the compactness as much as I did!
Here’s the whole suite:
Instead of an inner envelope, I added matching circles with first names of guests to top the suite that is tied together by a cotton string:
