Whooohooo! I was trying out a different program for doing my invites and I came across a lovely design which is far better than the rubbish I had come up with so far! It's a watercolour painting of a bride and groom which I have used as a background for the invites. I toned in the font colour with the picture and it looks brill! I am so chuffed that at long last I have found something which 'feels' right!

Laurie....well yes you can but I will have to get H2B to take a digital piccie and I have only done the front cover. I can't decide how to attach the inside to the cover. I have loads of lilac ribbon but don't want to hole punch the card....not sure about the elastic stuff.......any ideas anyone?

I trimmed the edges of my A4 insert (for the border) then folded it in half to fit in the cover. To attach it I put prit stick on the bottom all along the side of the fold and stuck it to the card.

Ta Laurie will try that.
Nikki....I have many disasters!!! I don't need these invites until Jan/Feb time but I wanted to play around with several ideas and see what looked best....so far I have tried 3 card sizes, including a postcard, dried flowers......sparkly things.....different fonts, borders, the list goes on!! It's all a matter of what sort of thing you want and if you want the theme carried throughout.
