Advice from Sept 2012...

calindi

I'm sure I'll pop back after the wedding (with a few other Sept 2012 brides) to give you guys our advice on what to do or not to do, but after today, I just wanted to say...

When you plan on doing any DIY project, keep this chart in mind:

My wedding invitations just went in the mail, and I figured it would have taken me about 10-15 hours to do them all.  They cost me well under market value (love me some Cards & Pockets), around $2.50 per invitation, but I spent well over 50 hours assembling them, probably another 50 designing them.  I pulled an all-nighter last night to get them done.  So do yourself a favor and remember to keep it simple for a stress free planning process!
