African American Weddings

Ok... SO I can finally cross Invites off my list. WOOHOOO!!! (Kinda Long)

They were the most tedious thing to ever complete.  I never thought I would spend that much time on paper.  I DIY'ed my invites.  I made about 75 pocketfold invites. I mailed a bulk of them home to my parents on Wednesday of last week and most have been handed out already.

My guest list was supposed to stop at 100 but as of now 138 people have been invited. I just had a conversation with my mother and she was like well if folks cant make it we can put others in their place.  I had to flat out tell her no. Im trying to get that number to decrease.  The most we can allow to come in addition to the 100 is an extra 10. I am now praying a lot of people decline, which seems like it may happen.

My wedding website is also complete. Finished it a while ago but was waiting on the completion of my invites to post it here.

 (This will be up for a limited time.)

This week I will be purchasing items to get started on my centerpieces.

Below are pics of my invite (excuse the poor quality; phone camera):
Created the monogram on my own using Word just layered text boxes on each other.  Im a simple person so wanted something simple as well. At the same time I didnt want to spend money on getting one done.  The pocketfold is 5" x 8".

I found a template online for the inserts. Made my life a lot easier.  They are 3.5" in width and the length is 3.5,4.5,5.5,and 6.5" respectively.

Surprisingly only cost me $0.61 each to mail the 13 that I had to send out.

Thanks for reading.
