DIY, What was I thinking?

So being the graphic designer that I am, I of course wanted my invitations to be a reflection of my own personal style and taste. It's been challenging finding paper that will work with my color scheme and design, but finally I found the perfect stock. TextStyle Designs is the cheapest company that I found you could buy Envelopments from and PaperSource is where I found the most beautiful and rich chartreuse green card stock I've ever seen. Everything was going so well. I found my paper, I finished my design, I then ordered my paper, but when it came in there was a problem. My original design of was a 5x7 folded gate card, but I ordered those from TextStyle Designs and the beautiful chartreuse A7 envelopes from PaperSource and the cards didn't fit inside the envelopes. Oh No!!!! Just one more mistake in this bumpy ride I'm on called "Wedding Planning". Well I couldn't panic, I wanted to but I really couldn't. Unfortunately I wasn't going to be able to return the paper stock and I wasn't going to order more because I have already spent too much as it is on these things. So I had to come up with a new design that I could use everything I already had and use it to come up with a fabulous result. This all really reminded me of problems I faced in design school. After a long night of thinking I came up with a new design that I liked even more that my original design. However, it was going to take some work. So it began. Yesterday my mom and I sat down to start our invitation "pocket making" adventure. We worked about 6 hours and got 100 pockets made. That's pockets only, not invitations. That means only 150 pockets to go. Then we have to assemble the invitation part and then put them all together, address them, apply postage, and then mail them off. I think there is about 20 steps to this project so for those of you who receive one next month, just know I put a lot of blood sweat and tears into the making them. I will post the final product when they are completely assembled.
