So I decided to make all of my invitations myself. I enjoy scrapbooking, and though it was tedious, I really enjoyed making my invitations and am happy with how they turned out (though my bridesmaids, who helped me stamp and address envelopes didn't find it quite as exciting as I did - though I provided margaritas ) Our colors are shades of blue and white (i love blue!) and we want the atmosphere to be fun and playful (though not tacky). I made about 10 different types of invites and each invite has a different heart stamp so all the invites and matching envelopes are individualized. I used 3 different shades of cardstock for the back piece, different patterns of scrapbook paper for the middle piece to add some flavor, and a nice heavy white paper with little colored speckles for the wording. The stamps I got at Michael's and since FH is a big Beatles fan, we fell in love with the "all you need is love" stamp right away. Anyways, here they are. Sorry, some of them are kind of dark.
