Invitation Inserts - The invitation itself

One of the things I struggled with on our weekend long wedding was how to convey the ideas and the flow of the weekend to people. We had a lot of room in the invitations to try, so I thought I'd post the components in case you want to borrow.

I used Microsoft word for all of my invitations. Should I have used Publisher, illustrator, or some other programs actually MADE for graphic stuff? Probably. Would have have saved me TONS of time? Probably. Was it in our budget? Nope!

Invitation wording:
