After telling Oscar the other week how un-artistic I am I thought I should put things right - I'm more artistic than I thought I was!
I decided that I wanted to make my own wedding invitations and when I told a few people they looked very sceptical. I ignored them, bought the bits and pieces on Ebay and I have to say I'm quite proud of the end result!

Skippy you have made my day - I just wish I could see one of these I bet they look really expensive as if you have paid someone who knows exactly what they are doing to make them, and for a fraction of the cost. one of these is something you'll have to keep forever and will probably smile for ages afterwards when you look at one. nice one!

I'm also making the table numbers, name cards, seating plan and menus - it should keep me busy!
It was so difficult to get the right wording on the shop bought ones as well as most were done as if they were from the bride's parents which isn't appropriate in our case. I spent more than I meant to, but they probably are still cheaper than if I'd bought similar in the shops.

that's brilliant. You never know where this may lead at a later date you could even end up making these to order and that's not a joke I don't care what the sceptics say. I ordered a hand made 80th birthday card last year off the internet for my mum in law I had no idea until it was hand delivered to my door that it was an immediate housebound disabled neighbour who was making them and I have never seen such a beautifull top notch attention to detail card in all my life.Amazing. Just goes to show.....

I'm afraid I'm not artistic at all - I've no patience for doing anything like that either. As soon as it starts to go wrong, that's it!!!
On the rare occasions there are flowers in the house, hubby has to sort them out as I just stick them in a vase!!!
