Thanks so much everyone! D is delighted that you all like them as he was the one that did them all out

sammyj-my uncle does calligraphy for books so he very nicely offered to do them for us. He''s amazing at it. Pity I can''t show you guys an envelope as it looks great when there''s a couple of lines of it, but I''d better not post someones name and address

[violet02]

They look amazing Bee! Great job!

One question for you. How did you print them? Did you use a home inkjet or laser printer or take them to a print shop?

 

[bee*]

Thank you so much for your comments on them! Violet-we just printed them on a normal hp printer that we have at home. They turned out a lot better quality wise then I thought they would.

Thank you so much kama! I''m sure your invites were absolutely gorgeous-not sure if I''ve seen them on here?

 

[Delster]

bee I love your invites

Did you use an Irish vendor or did you order from the States? We want to use pocketfolds for ours but haven''t seen them here

 

[bee*]

Thanks Delster-I ordered them from cardsandpockets.com from the US. They''re great.

For the paper, I also ordered it from them but we needed more and went to Daintree on Camden street and they will cut it to the size that you want, and the paper was a little bit cheaper getting it from them. There pocketfolds were pricier though.

 

[Amanda.Rx]

Those look awesome!

 

[AmberGretchen]

Bee* - those are so LOVELY, absolutely beautiful - I love how classic and elegant they are

 

[bee*]

Thanks Amanda and AG!

 

[bensbride]

Gorgeous! You did a wonderful job!

 

[bee*]

Thanks bensbride!

 

[Delster]

Thanks for that info bee - I''ve ordered samples off cardsandpockets.com, was amazed they didn''t charge shipping over here!

 

[bee*]

I know-they''re fab! Our full order came really quickly too and they were great at sending emails to say when shipping was happening.

 

[Missy0483]

Bee did you print with the regular liquid inkjet ink? I was going to use this but when doing a test run the color runs and if it gets wet it spreads/smears everywhere. I''m guessing you didn''t have this problem?

 

[bee*]

Hi Missy-yeah we just used the normal laserjet ink. It didn''t run at all for us-not sure why
