Invitation Progress

My FMIL bought us our cardstock, outer envelopes and rsvp card envelopes for my DIY invitations! It's amazing!

They all match in a really nice blue color. All we knew was we wanted colored envelopes and I thought about doing recycled paper. We didn't know whether we could find such a thing--let alone afford it! So she started asking me about them yesterday and got into a discussion about how insane I am for wanting to do hand calligraphy on them myself.
I know. I always have insanely lofty goals for DIY projects but I swear my madness can achieve a good end result! My family has so little faith in me!
We reached a consensus that we would have the mounted information printed and our names would still be hand written on the invites. So she offered to buy the printing at Kinko's or wherever and that she wanted to look for the other items. So we googled up some envelopes and cardstock and found Paper Jam that has an insane amount of paper items for very good prices. And we found blue envelopes and cardstock that were recycled. Exactly what we were looking for and then she bought them. Thank you Mama Donna.
So here's a mockup graphic of our invitations!
