Plan carefully, get all hands on deck, and you should be able to pull it off. There also may be places who can help you DIY- I know my friend assembled her own, but had help from the scrapping/designing people in sorting out the design. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>And eek!

Do you have a secondary color? Also, honestly, no one will remember the invitation after they've opened it. I know it's really important to you, though, and you should be ridiculously happy with whatever you get.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13645215857071944428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-56698078845360138392008-03-19T14:25:00.000-06:002008-03-19T14:25:00.000-06:00I say take a break from the invites and then when ...I say take a break from the invites and then when you come back, dive into researching etsy and actual printing places (my ex's mom used to have a printing shop, and all I remember about the card stock for the invites was that most of it was purple).<BR/><BR/>Happy early birthday!Pickles and Dimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552386798256895855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-33132292065690534042008-03-19T14:07:00.000-06:002008-03-19T14:07:00.000-06:00I say go with www.etsy.com they have some great in...I say go with www.etsy.com they have some great invites.
