Here's a trial run on my engagement party invitations. I still have to change things such as wording and change the pics, but this is going to be the basic framework for it. This will be printed on 8.5 x 5.5 glossy postcard stock and will be mailed with directions. Everything will be in an envelope.

The top border needs to be extended down a bit, just noticed that.

Looks good.....the heading is a little difficult to read though. Looks too busy. Just my opinion......

Still working on it. I'm going to fade the bigger (shadow) text more and maybe place it a little higher so it's not right behind the main text.

That also isn't the text I want to use. I have the inviation on another computer that has more fonts and has the one I want. The computer I desinged this one didn't have the fonts I wanted.
 
Different font maybe on the header?

Try isolating your heads and putting a thick border above and below your faces with the text info. Text over that pic hits my eye wrong...Change the font there too? Maybe something hmmm...maybe....well....womanlyish?

but hey, its farther along than anything I'd come up with. Thanks for sharing. keep us posted!
 
OK, I think this is the finished product. It will be printed on 8.5"X11" glossy postcard stock.

Do you really think it is a good idea to put a picture of the stripper from the bachelor party on the engagement announcement...or that's your fiance? LOL hahahahahahaha
 
Just got word that the invites shipped today and should be at my door Tuesday. I can't wait!
 
Got the invites today and I'm really happy. For $55 I got 100 8.5" x 5.5" glossy full color postcard material stock, 100 envelopes for them and priority shipping.

This is basically what they look like with some minor adjustments....

They should be going out in the next 2-3 weeks or so. I'm proud of my creation as it's all my handywork.
 
Chris, here's an idea for the background picture of you and Priscilla.

Open that layer in photoshop and duplicate it. On the upper copy, reduce the opacity to about 45%. Then go to Guassian blur and find the blur that gives it a soft glow.

You'll see that it will complement your invitation a lot better and look classier.

It's a little late now since I have the invites in my hand. lol I'll try your suggestion and see what happens though and post the results when I can.

All in all I'm very happy with them. The centerpieces we're making are great too.
 
Chris:

Nice work! You really are in Love!

Sure glad you didn't use the pics you photshopped that looked like Vulcans!

PS: Do you think it was wise to put Pricilla's phone number on there for all of us to see? :D :sqrolleyes: :sqeek: :sqwink:
