Okay, so I had initially planned on having purple as my main colour, and had even done most of my invites.. AND then we went bridesmaid dress shopping.. (yep, I got eager - always loved arts and crafts lol).  All the dresses that looked the best did not come in a purple (think eggplant/aubergine) that I liked.  Long story short, we found one dress that came in a wine that they all tried on and loved, and might I add was only 130 bucks (my mouth dropped when I looked at the tag, I couldn't believe it), so I made an executive decision to change the colours.. I hadn't gone crazy with planning except for my invites which Id been working on, but I figured Id rather incur the cost that I had already spend on paper supplies then spend more time (hard to coordinate trips b/c everyone is from different surrounding cities) trying to find a dress that came in a nicer purple AND this dress really was perfect for everyone.

So after a couple trips to michael's eyeing down the cardstock and stuff, this is what I came up with for the invite and favour box..

I used Office Picture manager to turn this clipart from microsoft.com into the design in the invite above...

Map/RSVP card - need to changed the colours to match the new invite, these were printed to match the purple invite.  Actually I use Paint to pull the colour out of the picture and use that same colour for the titles.

you did a great job on your invites.  And your favor boxes have a nice touch to it.  Did you get the boxes from Michaels too? what size are they? 

Very pretty stuff!
