I'm sooo in love with our invites. I designed them completely myself a few months ago and finished designing the inserts this weekend I'm so happy with the way they came out. Here's a few pictures. Hope you like them :)
Here they are all folded up with the belly band around them. I love how you can see the pink through the black organza :)

Here they are all opened up. (I colored in the ribbon while editing the picture because the only ribbon I had on hand was the 1 1/2" organza with stain edging that we're using for the belly bands, but for inside we'll have 1" black satin)
Here's a close up of the actual invitation
This is the design of the reception insert. This and all the other inserts on the green paper will be printed in all black to go with our black accent theme
Our accommodations insert will also be on the green cardstock
This is the front of the RSVP postcards that I had printed at VistaPrint during one of their giveaways. LOVE them!

And finally, the map I made and directions to the church
I'm going to print them all out this weekend and have them cut at Staples. Then it's on to assembly.

Hi! I was just wondering how you attached the ribbon that holds the inserts. Is it glued on somehow? or tied? I really like them-great job!
Thanks :) I'm pretty proud of them. The ribbon is actually a couple inches longer than I needed it to be, then I folded it under so that it was the right size to make the inserts fit. Then, I attached the pieces that were folded back to the pink cardstock with double-faced tape that my dad gets from his work. I put the tape on the pink cardstock AND on the ribbon to make sure it holds. I tried to use glue the first time through, but it was too messy and took a while to dry. I've also heard of people using glue dots or adhesive tape runners the same way and that they both work really well. I hope to post with pictures and instructions soon. I just printed them all out last weekend and will be cutting them soon and then assembling them, but don't hesitate to ask more questions if you have them before I can post the instructions :)
