Wilton 50-Pack Love Beginnings Invite Kit, Ivory

Beautiful invitations. I printed them at home and everyone though I had special ordered them somewhere. Could be used for so many occasions.

These invitations were a lifesaver! My now-husband and I chose to make our own wedding invitations at home because we didn't want to break the bank by spending hundreds or thousands on custom invitations.PRODUCT: When the box arrived, it had everything we needed to make the invitations - from the envelopes to the ribbon and bows. It also had the separate cards that go inside the cover (I was able to load them up in my home printer and print them right there on the spot - talk about convenient!). I did notice that one of the invitation covers was damaged, but we didn't need all the invites, so it worked out. Also, some of the bows were extremely crunched upon arrival and some of the sticky tabs that hold the bow and ribbon in place around the invitation didn't hold well and kept coming upon, hence the 4 star review (but I wouldn't let that hold me back from buying them again).PRICE: You really can't beat the price on this product. Yes, you are going to have to take some time putting together the invitations, including peeling off the little stickers that hold the bow in place, but this product will save you TONS of money in the long run.ASSEMBLY: This part was a little tricky since some of the stickers wouldn't hold the bows and/or they wouldn't stay in place on the ribbon. I ended up putting books on top of some of them to hold them in place better, as well as to flatten some of the crunched up bows. This also helped make sure that they stayed in place once I put them in the provided envelopes.OVERALL: I really enjoyed this product and would recommend it to anyone who is willing to put in some assembly time and wants to save money on invitations. All of our recipients liked them!

I'm getting married on June 7th this year and didn't have a lot of time to plan. I wanted DIY invitations that were simple, yet unique and not boring. These were so pretty when I first opened them up. The ribbons and bows are a hideous yellow, but I'd anticipated that thanks to the other reviews. My wedding is an outdoor garden party with a bit of a vintage/rustic feel. I'm using a lot of burlap and twine in the decor so I just ditched the yellow bows and tied a simple piece of twine around each invitation. It turned out looking just like I'd hoped. Aside from the bows, there were just a couple other issues that kept this kit from being perfect for me. First of all, the templates on the website they give you are useless. They don't print correctly at all. The settings are all wrong. Take my advice and don't even attempt to use it. Just get on Microsoft Word and it's a breeze. I wasted a few envelopes trying to get the template to work but that was okay because I had about double the invitations than I actually needed. The only other issue was that a couple of the pressed flower sleeves were damaged and unusable. It just looked like the paper was ripped off one of the flaps. Again, not really an issue for me because I had enough. I would have been much more upset if I'd planned on using every invitation, though. So just keep that in mind if you need all of the invitations and can't take a risk on damaged sleeves.

I plan on using these as wedding invitations and ordered 3 sets. The invitation papers (ivory cardstock) and pressed flower and leaf "overlay" pieces are very nice. I immediately discarded the yellow ribbon that comes with the kit based on other reviews -- I intend to use another reviewer's suggestion and buy ribbon in my wedding color (dark green). The pattern on the included response cards is quite a bit darker than the pattern on the invitation overlay, but it's a minor irritation to me.I actually didn't read that this kit came with envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised to find 50 response card envelopes and full size envelopes as well. After taking them out of the kit, however, I don't think I'll be using them. They are very thin and you can see the invitation pattern through the envelope. I don't have faith that these envelopes would be up to enclosing an invitation, response card, response envelope and a hotel breakdown. I'm not that choosy -- I did order these invitations mostly because of their price, after all, even though they don't closely match my wedding theme. But I would like my wedding guests to receive their invite in a sturdy envelope. We'll see if I can come up with one!As long as you keep your expectations manageable, you will find things to like about this set. Since most invitations will end up in the bin, I'm glad I won't be over-spending despite desiring to supplement this kit with other ribbon and nicer envelopes.

OK, so the invitations themselves are beautiful; the paper is thick, the pressed floral covers are gorgeous, but I had a huge problem with trying to print through the Wilton website...so buyer beware! If you decide to buy this and print your own, you'll be better off to use anything other than Wilton. It took me three computers and 5 hours to finally figure out the best way to go about printing would be to download google chrome on my computer (because microsoft word didn't have any cursive fonts) and just print it through the chrome browser under google docs. Not to mention Wilton's website didn't offer very many options to personalize. Oh, and if you get the lavender kit, I just want to make sure you know that the ribbon for the belt will still be yellow, and they aren't carefully placed in the box. They will be very wrinkled. It didn't matter to me because I went out and bought lavender ribbon to match the paper (and my wedding color). So, besides the Wilton website and the ribbon it came with, I would recommend this product. I am a bride on a budget and finding this kit couldn't have been better for me. They look way more expensive then they are. My friends and family just started getting their invitations in the mail today and they keep telling me how much they loved them...so I am very happy with this product, and as long as you have a document writer on your computer (with a lot of options for cursive) you should have a lot more luck than I did at first!

Stunning just perfect

estan padres, suoer utiles si necesitas algo bueno bonito y barato, salen mas economicas que pedirlas en imprenta, incluyen el sobre, el pase para la comida y la hoja donde se imprimira la invitacion , la hoja de un papel echo con incrustaciones de flores paa cobrir todo , la cinta que amarra el paquete y un moño que se pega, lo que no me gusto es que trae un lik a la pagina de diseños pero esa ya esta muy desactualizada, en si uno termina haciendo un diseño por fuera de la pagina, pero en general es algo bueno bonito y barato.

El paquete es muy completo, solo que el papel que trae las incrustaciones de flores es blanco y la tarjeta y sobre beige y para mi hacían mucho contraste y no se veía bien

My guests came to my wedding after receiving these invitations, so they worked! Easy to print on, nice texture and they look more costly than they really are. If you are trying to avoid the crazy twenty thousand dollar wedding, I would strongly recommend these - you can buy more wine and cheese for your guests!

The price of this kit was amazing and we couldn't have bought invitations for any cheaper, however, they were time consuming as the paper needed to be feed into the printer one at a time and all the ribbons and bows were all crinkled so I had to flatten everything before assembling them. But other than that they are elegant and beautiful!
