3.0 out of 5 stars Not outstanding, but useful, October 9, 2005

By	Ti'Yonne (Clinton, MS) - See all my reviews

The ideas that were provided were elementary. Nothing was exciting. Useful if you have no idea what you are doing, but boring if you are already creative. Alot of "create it yourself" invitations out of construction paper. Okay to purchase just as a reference for quick ideas.
