The Invites...Completed

I did it! I finally got my lazy butt up and finished writing up the invites. Prior to today, I had already written up the inner envelopes and the RSVP cards. I also was able to accomplish writing up 20 + outer envelopes a few weeks ago but that still left 100 + envelopes to go...and since one of my talents (that I am proud of) is that I have great handwriting, you guessed it. I.wrote.them.all.

Besides my arm falling off, I am super excited that I have finally finished the invites and doing so a week and half early from the due date!! Although it was only the outer envelope, I was able to write up 100+ invites in one sitting. It seemed to haven taken soooo long and my body will pay for this marathon session tomorrow I am sure. None the less, they are completed. Now I can rest before our little vacation to NC to visit Mama L (Mr.'s Mama).

Now things are starting to feel so real now. I mean we have less than 12 weeks before we are married. Crazy, huh? YES!!

Well I will be sure to share the pictures of the invite send-off! I cannot wait!!!

The Invitations

So let me start out by saying that if I would have discovered sites like Etsy or WeddingBee sooner, I would have probably gone a different route with the Invitation suite. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the invitations that we picked out but I was in the dark. I had no idea the kinds of things that can be created when doing your own DIY or allowing another to handmake them. It's like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz discovering how different Kansas was in comparison to the land of Oz. Well I won't dwell on this anymore.

So without the knowledge of the other sites, I had done plenty of research on the net trying to find the perfect black & white invites. During work one day (shhh don't say anything =)), I came upon the website WeddingPaperDivas.com. Boy was I impressed. They had so many options and all we very beautiful! And then there it was staring back at me...The Fallen Petal collection. Aren't they perty?!

(I tweaked to allow # of reserved seats to be included)

My hubby-to-be liked them because they reminded him of the tree that was in the backyard of a place he used to live. When the petals fell it looked like it was snowing...
