A Fall Wedding
Our wedding invites honestly took me 3 months+ to make and many all nighters. You can see the whole process at
http://www.ericandnikki.com/invitations.html - it is pretty humorous ;) The paper is from
www-handmade-paper.us - they came in huge press sheets. The leaves were all
preserved by us the year before and served
as the "tissue paper" Everything else laid out in Adobe
Illustrator/Photoshop. Even the reply envelopes were made
from recycled papers (handmade would tear too easily being so small) and I
bought the fall set of postage stamps from the
post office and used only the pumpkins, gourds and sunflowers out of the sets
for the outside envelopes. I'm
insane - officially ;) The "pocket" held the reply card as well as the reply
envelope. Definately a labor of
love!

Delicate Fall Wedding
I made this invitation for my Aunt's fall wedding. This is as simple as it gets, yet delicate and elegant. This invitation is made using a natural mulberry paper, ecru cardstock, a skeleton leaf, and organdy ribbon.
Supplies:
-
paper trimmer
-
vellum adhesive
-
natural mulberry paper cut 6.25x10
-
ecru cardstock cut 6.25x6.25
-
organdy ribbon
-
skeleton leaf
I created and printed the invite on the ecru cardstock in black ink on my ink
jet printer at home. I used MS Word to type up and format the details. Wrap
the mulberry paper around the invite overlapping leaving about 2 inches to one
side. Adhere the skeleton leaf with vellum adhesive on the flap of the
mulberry paper in the center of the invite, then finish it off with the
organdy ribbon tied in a bow at the front.

Autumn Wedding Invitations
These are the wedding invitations that I made for my niece's wedding. The beautiful leaf paper is a Japanese silkscreen paper. The invitation is made with black linen cardstock. It is 5x5" square and it is a simple folded card with a pocket on the inside left to hold the inserts and the invitation details are double matted on coordinating cardstock on the right inside cover.

The Front Cover of the invitation.
RSVP inserts printed onto card and then matted onto olive colored cardstock.
Paper or silk flowers from your craft shop make a great accent to your invitations. Here they are pictured with small beads as a flower center.
The pocket is more of a bellyband around the front cover of the invitation. It creates a great accent on the front cover of the card and is also a functioning pocket on the inside cover. You can stick it down with double sided tape on the front to make it more secure.
