I have created our invitation printing sample and I need your opinion.
The image is from weddingclipart.com (Thank you Stacey for providing me with it)
Now I need you to see my vision:
This will be printed on thick, white, textured paper.
Each of these squares will be cut out (and rounded at the corners)
They will be layered in the order shown, and put together with a "brad" to allow swivelling.
The RSVP will not be joint with these, it will just rest at the back.
An addressed envelope will be folded and also put behind the RSVP loose.
Everything will be tied together with lace, and then twine over the lace.
I hope you can see my vision.....
Have we worded everything ok?The gift part gets me stumped.
If we did a poem, it would be so obvious we didn't write it
(we aren't the poetry type)
But then you need to find a polite way to discuss the registry.

What do you all think?

The gift thing is a little awkward. Maybe leave a line and centre the "is enough" line.
Then without a but say something like
Your presence at our wedding is present enough.
Going with modern tradition we have set up a registry as well to make any gift purchasing as stress free as possible.
I dunno, what you have is probably fine :) everyone does it these days.
Maybe bold the top line then leave the rest unbolded.
i think the invitation is beautiful Nicky. And I can totally see your vision :)
If I got that gift bit the way it is, I wouldn't be offended, I like to get people things they really want, and not risk buying them something they already have 10 of (hence your xmas gift being from your blog!)
but if you have people that will be greatly offended, jaime's idea is good also.
I love it. I can totally see in my mind how they are going to work out. Its worded nicely too.
My cousin used a naff as f*ck poem to basically say "give us money not presents" on their invites and it just shit me. I get it if people want to give money or when youve lived together for like years and have what you need, or even putting money into a honeymoon fund, im cool with that. But this poem was all about how they want to be able to use the money to buy things they like to put in their perfect house. it was rude.
Love yours though and YAY for no Naff poems ;o)
Looks fantastic, I can see your vision and think it will look fantastic!!
I would personally not have the registry card attached. Just as it's rude to have this with the invitation. I would separate it and place it with the RSVP card.
I think the gift part looks great. I am thinking of setting up a registry for our engagement party otr just telling everyone to buy us Myer and DJ's vouchers as everyone keeps asking us what do we want?
I am grateful for anything that anyone see's fit to buy for us but I do understand that we have our own house so buying things isn't easy. But I hate saying oh I would really love x. I feel so rude.
