ReplyDeletei am so impressed!! they look so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn! These are gorgeous! You did an awesome job! I love them!
ReplyDeleteNice set design with the doilies and ball of twine :)
ReplyDeleteWhat font did you use, btw??
ReplyDeleteThe fonts are Albemarle Swash and Americana BT. Thanks for all the great comments!!!!
ReplyDeletethey're lovely!! diy invites are tough - but totally worth it for the savings!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love that Gmund paper?! I found it a month or two ago and fell in love!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn I'm in love with your invitations! Are the tree and birds stamped onto your invites, or are they from a digital file? Is it available for order?
ReplyDeleteThese are by far the best dIY invitations I've seen! And I've been searching a lot. I just copied all your instructions down. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you still get these comments but I figured it was worth a shot! I saw on your weddingbee blog that you used an epson printer to print on the gmund paper, which I am using too but it isn't taking the paper. Would you mind telling me what model epson you used? I am at my wits end trying to get these suckers to print!
ReplyDeleteAnyone figured out how to print on this paper? I too bought a sample and my printer would not take it because it is too think. Any suggestions?
