Valentine's day Wedding Invitations and Thank You cards

I've been making my own cards for about 4 or 5 years now so when I was preparing for my wedding, I decided to make my own invitations and thank you cards. I found an idea on the internet for the invitations that I thought were really neat and talked to my sister-in-law Tina to see if she could help me design it. We sat together one night and brainstormed how it can be accomplished and I went home with a prototype (Thanks Tina!). I got to work on them right away. Stefan was laid off so he asked me to show him how to stitch so I did! I came home the next night and most of the bride's dresses had been stitched! That's what I call a team effort but I'm so proud of them. The thank you cards was entirely my design and I love how they turned out too. I also did our party favours. It was a package with the boxes to put together. I added our names and date of the wedding as well as a 'Thank You' at the back of the boxes in silver heat embossing powder. Filled them with 'of course' Valentine's Day candies !
