Invitations... Done!

Invitations.  Done.  Ordered.  We should have a proof in-hand no later than Wednesday.   Ta da! 

And ... even though FI and I had agreed to cutting back (going with thermography instead of letterpress) due to budget, he surprised me by nonchalantly mentioning to the salesperson, "Oh, yes ... let's get the letterpress!"  Amazing man.  What a sweet surprise!

So now, its official, I've spent more on my invitations (feeding that letterpress lust!) than on my dress (which was SUPER cheap, less expensive than my shoes* BTW) ... ROTF LMAO!

*This is not unusual for me.  For my first wedding, the shoes (from a shop in SoHo in NYC) were much more expensive than the dress.  I rationalize this by saying, "I can always wear the shoes again!"  LOL!

    Congrats Lisa!

    We all choose to spend more or less on things based on our temperament and desires. Good for you that you have a fiance who feels the same as you on what matters.

    I hear ya.  We didn't have the invitation expense, since no one was invited.  But my DH (then fi) paid more for more sterling silver barefoot sandals than I paid for my dress.  I love that!
