Everything was designed in InDesign and Photoshop. The damask pattern is from fotolia. The custom pocketfolds were printed at Braintree Printing. Then I hand embossed our monogram on the inside flap using a custom stamp from Simon's Stamps, embossing powder, and a heat gun.
Next, I folded everything up and glued together the flap making a pocket. I printed the insert cards (RSVPs are personalized with every guests' name) and envelopes at home, and round-corner punched every insert. The paper and envelopes came from the Paper Mill Store. All of this went into the pocket, then I folded everything together and tied the package with a double-faced satin ribbon (pre-cut and finished from A.C. Moore) in a simple knot. This can easily be slipped on and off.
Then I printed A8 stardream metallic orange inner envelopes with our names and date, and we lined them in black paper. Orange envelopes are from Cordenons Fullfillment, envelope liners are from Mountiancow (I think these were the biggest pain of all!).
Last, all of the pieces were slipped into a larger black mailing envelope, A9 size from Paper-Source. The outside were hand calligraphered by A Fine Letter (In the interest of privacy, I don't have a photo of this, but they did an amazing job, great service, fantastic prices and quick turnaround - I highly recommend them!). We finished the invites with seals on the back with our names and return address, labels also from Paper-Source, and a .61 cent wedding cake stamp!
I can't wait to start getting RSVPs back in the mail!
*Side-note, the invite pictured is FI's grandmother who passed away a few weeks ago. I'm keeping it as a treasured keepsake in her memory.

Absolutely beautiful. I love seeing how the colours look together and how dramatic it is. Very classy.
