Invitations!

Sooo...I'm silly and forgot to tell you girls that FI and I decided on some invitations.

FI's late father's best friend owns a printing company, so we met with him and decided on what we want.

We're going to do navy card stock under light pink card stock under white pearlized paper and have the writing in navy.  They also fold up to serve as their own envelopes.

(It's sort of hard to describe, but I'll AW some examples so you all can see when they're done.)

The most awesome part is that they're FREE!  Since this guy was such a good friend of FI's father, he refused to let us pay for them.  He was such a sweetheart.  FI's dad died 15 years ago, and the man still tears up when talking about him.  It was so touching.

So, yay invites and good friends!

    Awesome! They sound neat (though you're right that they're hard to visualize). And it's wonderful that they were a gift. Definitely write a thank-you note. :)

    Free is my favorite four-letter word! =D I can't wait to see pictures!

    My FI also as a printing company in the family (his uncle); I don't think we'll get as good a deal as you did, though! ;)
