tinkerbell_82 Posted October 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm so excited to show you all our DIY passport invites for our cruise wedding! They finally went in the mail last weekend, and our guests LOVE them! We bought the template from Vanessa's Destination Weddings (you can find her contact info here: http://diy.weddingbee.com/topic/vanessas-diy-destination-wedding-passport-invites-038-rsvp-boarding-passes#axzz2hdPSpurY We really couldn't be happier with how they turned out. It was a lot of work- all said and done probably 50-60 hours, but we are so proud that we did them ourselves and saved hundreds of dollars too. Completed Invites ready to mail! We used the template but it was designed for a land based DW. We had to re-do everything for a cruise: The invite page (sorry it's upside down!)

tinkerbell_82 Posted October 13, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Twinkle helping us put the address labels on the envelopes. :) The RSVP is also a postcard, which saved on postage! It's perforated so guests can tear off the reminder to keep. The QR code leads people directly to our wedding website. Back of the RSVP There you have it. If anyone has any questions just let me know! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSBRose21 Posted October 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2013 These look great!! How much did you purchase the template for? I contacted Vanessa, but haven't heard back yet. Do you know if anyone has any that are available for cruises that are able to share? We are in a rush to get ours done and we need most of the information as yours has.

Email me at mikeandjennyswedding@yahoo.com. She took a couple of days to get back to me too- the template was $15 and we spent about $150 more on the paper and materials. I can't share the template since I promised them I wouldn't, but if Vanessa says its okay I can send it to her and she can sell it to you. Just let me know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxbxcca Posted October 23, 2013 #12 Share Posted October 23, 2013 awesome, aaaaaawesome job, they look fantastic! i did a similar thing too -- i went the ticket route, but turned it into a booklet. my RSVP were luggage tags. i like that you combined the tickets and passport. i initially made both, and my passport kicked aaaaass, should've done what you did. shoulda woulda coulda. :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinCourt Posted February 25, 2014 #19 Share Posted February 25, 2014 These look awesome, I just email Vanessa to hopefully get your template from her. I plan to do something similar. Did you print at home or have your printing done elsewhere? What about all of the cutting? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you print at home or have your printing done elsewhere? What about all of the cutting? Thanks! We're very lucky- my fiances work has a print shop that did them for 5 cents a page. :) Unless you have a super awesome home printer I would highly recommend getting them printed professionally. We got them cut at staples for a few dollars, and we assembled and did the corner rounding ourselves. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red84 Posted June 26, 2014 #23 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thank you so much for sharing these they are lovely!!! I know me and my Fiancé plan to do invites just like these I love the final product! My only question is how much did they cost to ship to family and friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crusinthrough Posted June 28, 2014 #24 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The link no longer works any ideas? I purchased the same template and made my own template. There is now a nautical themed template, which wasn't available previous. To customize be prepared to learn Adobe illustrator. http://www.weddingpassports.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASOXFANN Posted June 28, 2014 #25 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm not great with computers or very patient, so I ordered these from zazzle. I love them, and they weren't horribly expensive for the quality and all of the photos I was able to add. I ordered the RSVPs and wrap around return address labels from another vendor, and they are almost a perfect match. The photo stamps really finish it all off, I think :D Enjoy!
