craftgrrl | wedding invitations and programs

Hello everyone, I've been looking around for a while on the web on how to make your own invitations and programs for a wedding, but I havent found anything good yet. I'm getting married next year and I've been wanting to really make my programs (and invitations if it's easy) personalized. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do it? I've seen some papers where people glue? flower petals or those funky dried skeleton leaves... How do you do it?
I like in St. Paul Minnesota so if anyone has reccomendation on a good store with those types of supplies, or a store that offers classes on these types of things let me know. Has anyone tried anythin glike that ever? Or am I over my head thinking that i can manage making all of this myself?

thank you so much for your help
I love this community!!!
