Not long after the Bride Tribe luncheon, I hosted a Bridal Shower. The shower was something I started planning the moment my daughter became engaged. Like I've said before, I start making the paper products as soon as possible. Starting with the invitation.
Bridal Shower Invitations
And it's a good thing I started early. The invitations took me forever to make. I'm not exaggerating.
Once I decided on what I wanted to make, I needed to figure out HOW to make them.
Which meant several trips to the craft stores. This is what I found.
Cardstock, lace, tulle and envelopes. It was a three layer invitation!
I printed the wording on a sheet of cardstock and then cut two cards with my Cricut, one with the dress cut out.
(I practiced on blank paper until I got it to fit.)
I cut the lace to fit between the cards glued it (just around the edges) on the bottom card.
(First I tried spraying the bottom card with spray adhesive, which was ALL over the place and really didn't work.) It just made my feet stick to the floor.

I used a round punch and punched two holes through both cards at the top of the dress and carefully threaded the tulle, making the veil.
Anyway, they were a labor of love and I loved them! The bride to be loved them too!
I always mail invitations for my parties and I loved that they were one of a kind for my daughter.
It was a fabulous party and I can't wait to share all the details.
