AW: my invitations are done!

OMG. So much cutting and tying. So many envelopes to address and stuff and stamp and seal. SO MUCH WINE. (That part I'm OK with.) But I'm finally done!

I'm even moderately OK with the way my sad attempt at "calligraphy" turned out (if you can even call it that). I actually did buy a wider tip calligraphy pen for the names but it made it look like they were written by a 6 year old with a Crayola marker. So, razor point for everything. Regular print for the addresses so there's (hopefully) no fuckery by the USPS.

But hey, I'm done, with zero fucks left to give. And the BEST PART is my guest list is now officially locked in at 134 invitations, 246 adults and 18 kids. 

Holy moly. Time for more wine.

Re: AW: my invitations are done!

  • I really like those!!!

    I've been trying to figure out what kind of invitations I want and I may "steal" some elements of yours, especially the lace. They are sooooo pretty!!! My FI's grandmother is making all of them as her wedding gift to us.

    Is THAT what they're called? We're in the process of deciding on invitations and I could not for the life of me figure out the right terminology --- I kept calling them the "binding things." 

    @lolo883, your invites look great!

  • @ElcaB yup, they're belly bands. And FTR, I absolutely hate that phrase lol.
  • LOL I hate the term "belly band" too. I mostly just called it a band.

  • Actually makes me think of those things that people put on male dogs to keep them from marking/peeing in the house. Like boy dog diapers. I think that they're actually called belly bands too.

    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • I mailed mine yesterday too! Mine weren't nearly so fancy though - just the single paper invite and single paper rsvp postcard. Yours look so pretty!

  • How exciting! I'm jealous of both of you!

    We're printing envelopes since all of us have awful handwriting. I just can't make my mail merges work on my mom's computer- and she's got the fancy new printer. I'm hoping I can head back to her place to work on it again later this week.

  • Excellent! They look beautiful.
  • Yay! I'm happy to hear that they are done. I have heard they are one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning.

  • SONOFABITCH.

    Got home today to THREE shower gifts waiting on the porch. So like the dutiful little bridebot that I am, I wrote out Thank You notes tonight. And in addressing one of them... I realize that while the note on the packing slip from FI's cousin reads "Tiffany and Jonathan" my MOTHERFUCKING ADDRESS LIST spells JonathOn with an O. The list which was approved by not one but THREE members of FI's family. Which means I misspelled it on my invitations. GAHFUCKINGDAMMIT.

    Jesus Mary and Joseph I just can't. @hellokittybean the stress doesn't end when they go out!

  • Your invitations are absolutely GORGEOUS!  I would be so excited to receive one, if I were one of your guests. It makes me so happy to see a nice invitation or card, it makes me think people really want their guests to feel special when they invite them

    Thank you!!! I hope everyone feels that way...even if I accidentally spelled their name wrong. >.<
