Just wanted to share! We have been working on them for COUNTLESS hours! Some details! My FH and I are both graphic designers and I work in a print company! So we designed every piece from scratch! Hours in photoshop and Illustrator and making everything custom to each guest in InDesign! I also printed what ever I needed at work for super super cheap! So really the only money went into the purple pocket to hold the cards and the belly bands! (I even got the purple envelopes from work!) I aimed to make people think we spent a bunch on each invite when really it was only a little over $1.00 each!! Also my mom found the stamps for the invites which are galactic and fit our theme so perfectly!!! Soooo happy with how everything came out!

There were a ton of options online that we could have gone with! But doing it ourselves just made it that much more special! Also the background image I found we have used though out all our printed materials so its tying everything in together which is important to me! Must be matchy matchy! Hahah!
They’re beautiful, I really love the fact that you made them yourselves and together too! I plan on making my own too, but I’m a tattoo artist and visual artist so I don’t have any graphic design skills, but you definitely have encouraged me to wanna go with that plan!
Thank you!!! We designed everything from scratch (even down to speciality fonts) I'm glad you noticed the images lining up hahah! I was very proud of that!
First, your stationary design is awesome and so well thought out! I love the pocket idea and how all the tops of the non-invitation stuff lines up to make a single image. It's a genius way to ensure nothing gets left in the envelope by mistake or misplaced once it is out of it. :-)
Yes! So helpful! It's funny because now some of our friends are reaching out to us to design their stuff hahah!
I love it!

Thanks everyone!!! I'm getting more and more excited to send them out!!! Honestly all of the inspiration for the invites and a LOT of the other stuff we are doing came from one galaxy pic I found on the internet! The colours were perfect and its fitting so well into everything!!
