I finished sending pretty much all of my invitations today. Phew! That was something that has been freaking me out: trying to get them out on time. I am very excited to start receiving replies in the mail! Yay for mail!

I bought an invitation set from Target. Unfortunately, I should have bought two because barely half a year later I returned only to find that my set was discontinued. *foghorn*. So I really had to get my craft on to try and recreate the basic idea. Anyways, I designed the invitation myself. It's very simple but I think it gets the point across!

Reply cards

Invitation in the pocket.

To be honest, I don't think I would have done it this way again. It was very hard and very frustrating. I'm not a professional printer so I therefore do not have large quantities of the correct paper nor do I have printer that can handle many different paper weights. In the end it all worked out, but the headaches may not have been worth saving the money. Oh well. Looking at them now, I'm really happy with their look. I'm sure a few more weeks will allow me to forget what a pain in the butt it really was.

Tomorrow I start working on placecards and programs!
