This is all color coded: different types of roads get different colors. Interstate=red, State highways = blue, etc. etc.
The RSVP. At the last minute I decided to make the "RSVP" hunter green:

Those are really pretty... you really spruced up those kit invitations... I'm jealous :shuffle:

But aren't they getting out kinda late? :dontknow:

[Kirsten]

They actually went out 2.5 weeks ago. . . I've been kinda busy. . .

[Kirsten]

And "some people" are remembering to send in the RSVPs. . . but I won't mention names. . . ;)

Wonderful job! Love the Ivy. Did that come pre printed or did you do that yourself? Love the insides also!

[Kirsten]

Thanks everyone!

Jaci - I know you're busy. . . It's just that I can never quite resist the temptation to tease you a bit. . . :devilheee: :hug99:

Did that myself with lots of help. Here's the inspiration photo:

The original plan was to stick close to the inspiration. But. . . Jaci (from here) found the strand of ivy for a different project (our ivy bookmarks) and I started thinking about ways to incorporate the ivy into other DIY projects. After lots and lots of trials and lots and lots of feedback (from people who were really patient with every possible combination I could make) I finally chose one.

[Jaci]

I swear, the RSVP is in the mail! I swear it!

[Kirsten]

Weeeeeeeee! Another RSVP.

I like to see people get creative with the kit invitations. Great work, Kirsten!

Those look great. What font did you use for the "RSVP" and your names?

[Kirsten]

Thanks, Heather!

Those look great. What font did you use for the "RSVP" and your names?
Thanks! The script font is called "Sheer Grace." I think I found it at http://www.dafont.com The other font is "Carlton LET." I have no idea where I found that one. It may have been pre-installed on my computer.

Kirsten, your invites look great! You did an awesome job on them!

[Aramelle]

They turned out great, Kirsten! I'm sure your guests were all very "wowed" when they received them. :)

[Kirsten]

Thanks, ladies!

[njbride06]

i'm a little late, but I really love your invites! You did such a great job. I like how you worded things differently, and it shows your personality...very cute!

[Kirsten]

Thanks, NJ. Kari inspired me (in her very 1st pre-pre-crash UW Journal) to do something with plain DIY invites. I do like how they came out.

We're going to do the same thing for the announcements, but instead of the RSVP card we'll include a wedding photo.
