or anyone else.. i need help

i am trying to make our wedding invites so i found the wording i want to use (I think) and the response card that i want..
now what

Now you either have to go somewhere and pick up an invitation kit,
or pick out paper, vellum and stamps(decorating kind not mailing stamps) , whatever you want on them.

You really have to decide on what you want them to look like. Is there going to be a theme etc....
Colors......ribbons whatever.

You've got your wording, now you need to start thinking about what you want the invite to look like. Did you and Ashley figure out what you wanted to do? Do you have a something in mind already? Start looking at all those links we posted and try to find a general idea of what you want them to look like. Then go from there, if you give me an idea of what you want, I can show you some paper sites, envelope sites, ways to embellish them, ect. Just give me a clue as to what you are looking to do with them. ;)

thanks M ok. i have to back grounds that i really like ( my printer broke go figure) so i have to wait for that.

I have the paper i want. I found out that i needed to printer the picture on the hard paper, then print my wording on another type of paper. but i dont get how to put them together good. See i wanted the bow on top like you see most invites. but how do you get the bottom to stay nicely?

So your doing a cardstock with a picture, then putting a vellum overlay on top right? You can get a small hole punch and punch two small holes at the top, then thread the ribbon through the holes and tie, which is what I did, with the paper I used I didn't need the glue to fasten it to the paper.

If you really want to attach with a glue, you can buy spray adhesive (http://www.paperzonestore.com/cgi-bin/paperzon/MMM-77L.html) and spray it, I've never used the glue, but I hear you use a light spray and it doesn't discolor the vellum, attach the vellum to your cardstock or paper, then do the ribbon with the hole punch. :D

thanks girl, i think that is what i am going to do with the hole punch with navy ribbon i bought already.. but how did it stay on the bottom with out ribbion? did it hold ok?

Mine held fine, I was worried too, but I sent one to myself before mailing them to guests, it arrived perfectly in tact, so I just went ahead without the adhesive. ;)
