I blogged about my wedding invite card design a few days ago. The physical copies of the cards have been collected from our printer. They are ready for dissemination.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the outcome of the card and envelop design. We reduced the tone of the sky to a light shade of baby blue to give it a more pastel, cheery look. The artwork was printed on Japanese wood-free textured paper for a hand-drawn, manga feel.
For the envelop, we bought the light-weight air-mail variety for thematic unity with the “flying” theme. The Chinese “double happiness” character was manually punched, one by one, by Rachel and I with a paper cutter we specially bought.
When I passed my parents their portion of the wedding cards and envelops, my mom was amused by the effort and cost we put into these as she felt people will just “take and throw”. I
told her it reflects our sincerity and we hope to spread our joy to everyone, with a little personal touch. The invite card is the first thing our friends and relatives will receive regarding the wedding and it’s important to give the right first impression. 🙂

hi, the self made envelopes are really creative! =) was wondering, after you punch the envelope, did it went all the way through, as in front and back of envelope is with the craft punch effect? If so, what did you use to cover up the back? thanks
Went through all the way. We didn't cover up the back.
My goodness. Its really pretty!
We are also trying to design our wedding invites but dunoo where to send to print. where did you get yours printed?
Brought it to an industrial printer to print. :)
Hi love love love the invitations. I was wondering where you got the textured paper from.
