Wedding Invitations from Scratch

My fiance and I are on a strict budget so we decided to cut some cost doing our own invitations. I work at a printing company and they told me I could print for free. My fiance gave me free reign as long as I made it green and had some floral patterns. I'll have to apologize for the lighting. I really need to replace those fluorescents. 

What you need:

• Pencil
• Paper
• Double-Sided Tape
• Mailing Stickers
• X-ACTO Knife
• 1" Inch Hole Punch
• Adobe InDesign
• Adobe Illustrator
• Printing Company that will print for free
• Unsuspecting friends to con into helping you
• Patience


THIS PROJECT COST AROUND $20 (Sans printing costs)

Step 1 Logo and Color

I did some research and played around with some ideas and finally I came up with some ideas. Referring back to the logo that was introduced in the other instructable, I decided to agree with myself on a logo and color swatch. I used the graphic designer's trusty color theme aid to sort out the true color matches....Ok, I actually just had my fiance do this part to make sure she got what she wanted. We had a lemon-lime theme so she picked colors that choreographed with that.

If you could have included measurements or not been as vague this would have been great. I think its FAR from step by step. I understand you didnt want to give your design away but. . . frustrating
