Invitations

I had the greatest idea ever - to design and print my own invitations!

Uh huh - until 6 months have elapsed and I'm finding that it's not as easy as I thought. Of course not!

Now I need ideas. I created a killer paisley design for the stationary. (I've gained some sweet photoshop skills in the meantime, which I have been trying to get for a while - yippee!)

But it looks like crap when I print it. Crap I say! I'm curious if I can create a stamp? But can I get the stamp pad in the color I like? Will it look ridiculous?

AND I'm broke. How do I do without spending my leg? (I've already spent my arm on other wedding related things....)
