So I've been working on these boogers for a couple of months now...on and off in my spare time. Today, I FINALLY got the first complete one finished. Everything is set and ready for printing!
We are sending them in 5x7" kraft paper boxes (below)
(the shipping cost is around $1.50 each) The guest's address will be printed onto the ivory rectangle in the middle in chocolate brown font. and the box is held closed by a strip of brown paper around the middle (we will use a small glue dot or two under the lip of the box as well...just in case!)
The invitations are "book" style and the cover is of an old FL/GA railway map, to tie in with our theme. It is bound with a chocolate brown ribbon.
Inside the cover is a little quote "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (as recommended by MrsWhitneyAmanda! THANKS!) And the other page is the formal invitation. (too lazy to blur out names...oh well!)
The next page is our wedding map (made by me, just today!) and directions from both airports...(everyone is from out of state.) and the right side is an envelope with an RSVP card held in place by a strip of paper with "response card" printed on it...it can be slipped out from the strip or you can "unwrap" it (its just closed with a little dot of glue.)
Yay! I hope our families like them!
