Bride chose Close to Cocoa and Certainly Celery for her wedding colors - she had a Garden theme, her flowers were Gerber Daisies. After much deliberation this is what I came up with and she loved it. I used every inch of the card stock in order to accomodate the RSVP envelope.
A valuable lesson I learned when making wedding invites - make sure you pick out your envelopes first so that you can adapt the card design to fit the envelope!

I used the left over Close to Cocoa paper cut it to size and used part of my circle punch for the little "dip" on the front. I had to go to M's and buy the thinest, strongest strip glue to attach it to the main invitation because I didn't have a lot of room to play with. The reception and reply card info exactly fits when closed. If you need exact measurements let me know....good luck on your design.
I am doing invites for my Brother and soon to be sister-in-law and they loved your invitation. I was going to do the same without the pocket and I was wondering if you could send me the dimensions at least of just the close to cocoa and where it is folded. Also, are the silk flowers SU!?

EmilyS - hi, I sent you a pm...but to answer your one question, the flowers are Prima - and they are great. I used CE (crystal effects by SU) to glue a gem to the center of each flower. I bought the gems at M's, there were like 200 or so for $2.99 in the jewelry section.
I am getting ready to make invitations for my Aunt's wedding, would you be willing to send me the dimensions? [email protected] Also what did you use to make the swirls look the way they do? chalk?
