We're getting married end of June. On a very tight budget. I fell in love with some Victorian-style invites online, but they would've cost £300! So I decided to make my own. Bought the card, envelopes, ribbons and paper for £30 in the craft shop and was unbearably smug about my 90% saving.
That was before I started making them. Now, 3 sodding WEEKS later, I'm in invite Hell. I've made 15 of the 20 the evening invites, but I still have all the daytime ones to do and I'm very aware that as every day passes, more and more of our guests will have booked their summer holiday. (I told myself I'd do a save the date email. I didn't.)
I have no idea how to lay out the middle of the cards (with all the info stuff on), so I'm faffing around unproductively to delay doing it. The house has gone to shit, I have gone to shit - I haven't showered for two days. WTAF. Today I spent SIX HOURS making a MAP. Who reads maps on invites these days?! Even if they have got a hand-drawn illustration and use a really nice font.
I haven't got any design software as its only a hobby, so I'm doing it all in Microsoft Publisher, which i've had to teach myself as I go along. I completely underestimated how many materials I'd waste practise on, so I'm all out of paper AND ribbon (£2 a roll!) and have had to buy two new cartridges of ink. I'll have spent over £100 by the time I'm through, which would've bought perfectly nice invites from Prontaprint. 
My printer is under my desk, so for a few hours a day I'm on my hands and knees on the floor, feeding individual sheets of card through it, and sobbing when they suddenly catch badly and lurch through at an angle.
And on top of this, I'll have to go through it all again with the Orders of Service, AND I told the florist that, "I'd love to paint my own pots for all the table decorations for 70 guests!!" WHY.
Do any of you ever take on too much?
