I'm an artist and I wanted the invitations to reflect our personalities as well as the casual party vibe we want to set for our New Year's Eve wedding. I printed all the invitations on our standard home printer, and set to work spattering them (and myself) with watered-down acrylics in the backyard.

The results gave me warm fuzzy feelings:

I designed and made them all from scratch, using a downloaded font, recycled paper, and acrylic paints. I also spattered one side of all the envelopes, and finished them with a rubber stamp sparrow.

Admit it, how many of you now want to break out the paints and splatter color all over your wedding invitations?
