Wilton Happy Day Wedding Invitation Kit

I ordered these well ahead of time, so they sat around for several months before they were used. Had I opened and attempted to print some the day of (we didn't even have times finalized yet), I would have likely returned these. Without going too far into detail, I'd like to say that these are still very usable, but I will list out what I did and did not like about the design/quality of these invitation kits from Wilton.What I liked:-Appear very nice, elegant-Thick cardstock, does not seem cheap-Comes with invitations and reply cards each with their own envelopesWhat I didn't like-If all of the parts are used and you send RSVP cards/envelopes along with the regular card, envelope, and bow, you are well over the 1 OZ mark, meaning you have to use two or more first-class stamps to get this to its destination via USPS. As other reviewers have stated, it costs at least 1.12 on average to send these. This doesn't seem well thought out on Wilton's part, since there are kits that can be sent for ~50 cents. I like the thicker cardstock, but I believe this could be accomplished with less weight.-The bows were a NIGHTMARE. They really help pull this kit together, but, they're packaged very lazily in my opinion for something so delicate. They're just packed (rather tightly) into their sealed bag in the kit. They come out all wrinkly, and to us, were mostly NOT usable. We tried and tried to get these things to lie flat, but they were a tangled up, natty mess. This resulted in a far less elegant look, and was quite displeasing to our experience. We ordered 7 boxes of these, and all 7 had at least 80% of the bows so messed up they were not usable, not without an additional 20 minutes spent perfecting each one. See the attached picture for their 'display model' in each box vs the actual bows that come out.If I had to do it all over again, I think I'd go the design-your-own online option where you pick and create everything online, after which they are printed and sent to your address for you to send out. You still get a nice personal feel, but with much less hassle, and for not that much more. If I had to go the same route and design them myself again, I would not buy this product, and may even avoid the Wilton brand. Needless to say, we did use these invitations and they were 'OK' but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I had a difficult time deciding on wedding invitations but I am very happy I went with the Happy Day Kit. They look great, they are very original, and are quite elegant. I did not use Wilton's template for the printing the RSVPs and invitations as I made my own using Word. It took a few practice sheets, but worked out fine. If you need more practice sheets, just tear a letter sheet in half. It works great. Also, making your own template allows you to be as creative as you like with your wording :)Although these invitations were much more time consuming than I anticipated, they look great and I received lots of compliments. Some of the bows were a little crumpled on arrival, but my fiance ironed them to perfection. Be careful not to use too much steam as the rhinestone charm on the bow may fall off.I also added red envelope liners (just to add a little of my wedding colors in there) which were a LOT of work and probably unnecessary (though I hate to admit it). Finally, I did get a little surprise when I posted the invitations. They cost double the regular postage! (in Canada) which I did not expect. They are not only heavy, but thick as the bow and rhinestone charm are big.Overall, even with the extra postage, I am really happy I went with these invitations and I keep getting compliments from the guests. Now I am just waiting for all my RSVPs to come :)

The invites were perfect. I would recommend them to anyone!! Beautiful and classy. A few of the bows were fraying at the end but we were able to trim them without an issue. The postal service was the issue. I hope Wilton looks into this. The bow creats a small bump in the middle of the envelope. The post office give us such a hard time about it. Some invites never made it to our guests. I guess they don't send undeliverables back anymore!!!

I just received the invitations today, I ordered "Wilton Happy Day invitation Kit" and the product was almost what I expected. The invitations are nice and simple;its hard paper with a shiny vellum pocket. The only problem is that they don't include printing instructions and the only templates that are available are the ones you can access through their website but it doesn't have the proper alignment so that DOESN'T WORK!and it's not my printer so I'll have to go into a print shop to print them anyways which is inconvenient.

Looked exactly the same with the photo. Printing was not difficult at all--you set the paper size at A5 (go to page setup at MS Word), test print, and put the test paper on top of the actual card and see if everything is at the right place, that's all. It was the easiest I've ever done.The only downside is that the ribbons are wrinkled, so I had to press each one of them to look nice like in the photo. Also the double sided tape doesn't hold the ribbon immediately, so I pressed them between my fingers over and over until they were securely attached. However, the entire process of making invitations were fun and enjoyable. At least I liked it.

I loved these invites super glamourous perfect for elegant wedding theme and affordable, the bows needed to be ironed they came to scrunched up and the envelope is not sticky. Other then that they are beautiful easy to print!

Invitations were difficult to get into the sparkly half-envelope, but all the reviews helped a lot in terms of printing. Also, the bows were so smashed and wrinkled we decided not to use them, but that also reduced the mailing cost, and cut down on the time to put them together, and I don't think they added much to the look. Overall, worth the affordable cost.

These invites were pretty and easy to assemble. I did not like the white sequin flower decal. If I could have changed one thing it would have to just have the bow and no rhinestone decal. Otherwise they were beautiful, fit my budget and color scheme.

The bows do have to be freshened up after shipping. I used a low temperature hairdryer and it took seconds/bow. You can send your invitation with or without them. I used Word to set up my invitation as there were more Font choices. Easy to do. Very classy and elegant for very little money!

Great condition, family loved them. Easy to print on too.

great cards easy to print

fast shipping. nice in picture but very pretty in person....very happy :)
