Invitation Ideas

I have had tons of fun scouring the internet for fiesta invitation ideas, and I have 'pinned' all of the ones I've loved. With the 'wedding budget' mindset really taking over my financial decisions, I have been toying with the idea of designing our own invitations...especially since I really enjoyed creating our save-the-dates.

Here is a picture of one of my favorite invitation designs:

One thing I would need to have in order to really take on invitations would be a killer font that totally matches our fiesta theme.

I found a website called fontriver.com that has lots of cool free font choices, so I decided to try some out. The following images are my way on 'pinning' the font choices for future reference:

OK, this is way too much fun....and I think I've lost sight of what I was looking for... this must be kinda like the modern-day version of signing your soon-to-be new name over and over again on anything you can find. Hm... maybe I should be practicing signing my soon-to-be new name...


Here's a different site called fontspace.com:









This one looks like my actual handwriting!
