our wedding programs.

I made the programs from two half sheets of 8.5×11 cardstock. One text weight cream and one cover weight gravel.

I embossed "e&p" on the front using a custom embosser ordered from Paper Source. On the back, I stamped "celebrate" with a custom stamp I had made of my own handwriting. I also added a date stamp with our wedding date.

The inside was designed in PSE and ran through my printer
twice to get the double sided text.

I folded both pieces in half together, added the holes and strung the sheets together with divine twine.

    Is your desk embosser the one that they sell at PS, because it doesn’t seem like you could go 2-3″ down the paper to get the embossing closer to the middle of the program front, can you share some insight on the embosser? I want to get one, but I didn’t want to be limited to only embossing right at the edge. BTW, I ♥ everything you’ve done with your wedding!

    hi! yes, it is the exact one from Paper Source. The place that I but the monogram is about 2.5 inches from the top of the page and this is how far done the plate will go. It will go that far, I promise. I will try to get a longer post about embossers but together for next week. thank you! elise
