I'm working on my wedding invitations and this is what I came up with. I'm going to switch out the Real Red for Cranberry or a color similar. But since it's a "mock-up" I was going for dimensions and such.
On the cover I'm going to stamp or print out a "B" to add to the square, or maybe A+J vertically. I'm also going to print out the information for the invite itself and the cards on the right. Check out the other pictures for more views of the invite.
Mom requested more color options - brown and vanilla outsides. Here you go - let me know which color combo you like best.

This are really great. I am currently mocking up some for my cousin's wedding. I really like the design. Any measurements you care to share? How did you make the pocket? Thanks.

They're a finished 5 by 7. So I did a 10 by 7 and scored at the middle. The pocked piece is a 5 3/4 inch by 3 5/8 inch piece - score the pocket so that your finished piece is 3 1/2 tall and 5 wide. You'll have enough on the bottom and sides for sticky strip.
the white portion of the inserts right now are 4 1/2 by 4, 4 1/2, 5 and 5 1/2. I'll probably change that so that they match up with the other side of the invite - the tallest piece would then be 6 1/2 backed with red at 6 3/4.
The bellly band is 1 1/2 by 11 - scored at 3 3/8 at each end and then sticky stripped together. I hope this makes sense - if not PM me. Good luck! It's fun once it's done.
