Bridal Shower Invitations: Engagement Party Invitations

Engagement Party Invitations

Throughout the course of my engagement, I've done quite a few DIY projects, with more planned. I've always loved being creative and this is really allowing me the chance to do so!

I started out with DIY because my in-laws decided to throw us an engagement party for the Dutch side of our friends and family. They had seen some of my scrapbooking (I made a scrapbook valentines day card for Anton as well as a scrapbooked calendar) and they asked me if I would make the invitations for it. I gladly said yes! The hardest part of this was that it was done in the Netherlands where I was on much more unfamiliar territory and in addition to that, didn't have my stockpiles of tools and already purchased papers, stickers, lettering, etc. I found that the Netherlands doesn't have NEARLY as much readily available scrapbooking supplies as I know I can find here, and they didn't have things like stickers saying "We are engaged" type of things (in Dutch of course, but I would suspect that most of you would have a clue what I was saying if I put "Wij zijn verloofd"! lol) so I had to adlib on that and trust my own handwriting for 25 invites. I'm pretty happy with what I was able to come up with and I got a lot of compliments on them from people at the party! Here's what I came up with:
