Vista print Oversized post cards.

I asked for some suggestions on the knot, and I appreciate the comments, and FI and I took them into consideration, but we are keeping them this way.  We like them and want our guests to know what is going on.

We are doing dinner and bowling at a bowling alley after we rehearse.  We also want people to wear their team's colors...so we can have some fun with our Razorback/OU divided home.  Should be fun!  Made these for postcards on Vistaprint.

So I was at TJ Maxx, and they had these Brides brand invites for CHEAP!  I got 30 invites for $15!  I like them.  They are pretty similar to what I wanted, and the quality of the paper is really nice.  With the money we saved, we can get chair covers at the reception!  Here are some pics!

Decided I didn't want to print all those invites.  Found mygatsby.com  Their pocket invites fit the budget, are cute and I can still personalize the heck out of them!  The invite isn't square, so it will cost less to mail, and it has more room...so I can put reception info on the actual invite and not have to buy another insert. yay!

We will use pinks and maroons and the shimmery white.  Not sure which pinks and maroons yet...but I'll get back to you!

Designed this puppy in Photoshop.  Will use it where I can. 

Update:  I have since changed the font our names and date are in...but I didn't save it as a jpeg.  So I can't show you.  Sorry.  Its a more plain font, like the font on the STDs.

You couldn't read the pink text, so we used white.  And FI didn't like the all-lowercase, so I capitalized the important letters.  Still ordered through vistaprint.   Love them!

So I really love pocketfold invites.  But they are expensive.  But then I found cardsandpockets.com  They have all the stuff you need to print your own at home.  So I ordered a sample.  I ordered Chili folders and watermelon accents.  The envelopes and invitation mat will be watermelon.  I'm still working on the invite layout...but I like the overall look.  
 

The labels to close the invites are address labels from Vistaprint.   You MUST sign up for Vistaprint.  They do everything...and once you sign up, you get TONS of free stuff in your email.  I got 140 labels for free (and may order more to put on favors or on the save the date envelopes).
