anddddd they're out:)

THE INVITES ARE OUTTTTT!!!

i loved everything about them.!!! We actually had to reprint them once because of an oversight but in the end...we ended up loving the reprinted version SO much better.

it was kinda a process getting them together. Hole punch. Cutting string. Tying string.

okay...that seems easy. BUT luckily I was able to get that all done in the little bit of free time I have at work:)

the process of stuffing and putting postage on the envelopes was the surprise. It took a lot more time than I thought. And because of the square envelopes...a lot more costly in postage. Oopps:)

but how cute is that freaking postage!? We had 2 different options. My favorite being the Star/Goat/Person combo:)

and the very best was the writing on the envelopes. Courts, the MOH - big sis:), did ALL the addressing on ALL the envelopes. I think the final count was just over 200 envelopes! Eeeeek. More if you add the Shower and BParty Envelopes:)

If anyone's interested in having their envelopes addressed by hand...whether that be for a wedding, event, birthday party, announcement...Courts AND Mal, are your ladies. Very affordable and I think it makes all the difference:) Let us know!:)

i've already gotten so many compliments and I love that people are loving them. Especially because we did exactly what WE wanted to do and tried to make them as much 'us' as possible and I think that came across:)

loving our wedding and loving all the planning that's come with it:)

46 Dayzzzzzz!!!!

turn it and you're a genius.

at this point I felt that I needed to throw SOMETHING wedding related out there for fear you'd all forget I was actually getting married. That will not happen on my watch.
You will All remember. Forever;)

i found these fabulous invites on Green Wedding Shoes, printed through Studio On Fire. They are freaking amazing. I love the cluster...the tied together bunch of paper that the guest has to look through. Envelope liner?! Sign me up. And how insanely creative was it to flip the envelope like that?! It's so ridiculously obvious it makes me feel super slow for not having thought of something like that before!!!
Wait...ideas rolling in...thinking I may do that anyways...and thanks to my cousin, Neen, I think I've decided on our envelopes. ONE huge part of the invitation down...many many more parts to go:)

yes. This whole group of goodiness is just that. GOOD.

envelope liner pretties.

i'm VERY much obsessed with the idea of envelope liner!!! VERYYYY Muchhhh!!

Now that we're officially going with the teeny tiny wedding, why not?! NOT that I need more reason to spend money in other places, on other things seeing as we're saving so much money. SO I really need to lock that up.

BUT it'd be awfully cute to have the reception invite include envelope liner, some super cute wording ('come help us celebrate our 2 Day Anniversary'), subtle colors (black, charcoal gray, baby blue and cream...god that's yummy!!) and an assortment of amazing fonts all mixed together.

ah. It's going to be near impossible for me to wait anotherrrrr....possibly, 12 months?! Frick. I do believe the final product will be more than worth the wait:)
