Here is ours. I just removed our last name. I couldn't find anything on-line that I really liked for a reasonable price so I made our own using a photo editing software and had them printed at a copy shop and bought blue envelopes at an office supply store. I was very happy with the results!

Our announcements
Here is a copy of our announcement. The picture was on the front of the announcement, and the wording was on the inside. Sorry the wording didn't come out very clear when I scanned it.

For those of you who have posted your announcements, how big were they? They seem like they would have been bigger than a 4x6. Maybe a 5x7? But then where did you find envelopes?

Here are mine. I think that they turned out well. They were 5 x 7, and the photo studio gave me the envelopes as part of the package.

Her are two I came up with....
I hope these are big enough to read.... They look a little off set because I removed our last name... We ended up using the announcement with only one photo, and printed them as 5 x 7's.
This is such a fun project to do!!!
