I just had Fh print up some straggler invites last night (which looked EXACTLY like the ones *she* did....go FH!!!)...
Our guest list is out of control....269!
And we have a few more stragglers. I think we will get the 90 no's we need actually since most of FH's family is OOT....but still. wow. IWhat if we don't?
ETA: oohhhhhh...Sorry it was just the envelopes, not the invitations, though honestly we could have done that too with the right paper, etc.

I asked her what fonts she used and he DLed the fonts, then we did test prints until we got the sizes and colors right. I should have taken a picture, but it looked exact. We did it in word.
I wanted us to print our own envelopes from the beginning since we did it for the STDs and also for my sister's B list years ago, but FH didn't want to take the time. it did take 2 hours to do 6 inner and outer, but it will be faster to do more now that we have it all lined up. It took awhile to find the fonts to download and then to find the right sizes and line it all up.
We actually didn't do it as an envelope. We did it as a regular paper sheet and adjusted the margins. it worked perfectly.

Well, we have a high minimum, but I oriignally thought we'd be inviting 225. Now it looks more like it will be 275. And that's inviting almost no one from work. They're all 'B list' in case too many people say no

so u invited 50 people more, that's not too bad as long as u have ur min covered, we're inviting a little more than 50 people besides our minimum, hopefully we'll have the right amount of no's lol!

We're at 100 over our minimum right now. Hoping to hit the minimum as close as possible since that's all we can afford

yeah I invited 50 people more than i prignally expected to invite, and 100 ovr our minimum, BUT as I mentioned, Fhs family is OOT and I invited ALL of my friends with guests and from what I've heard so far, most of them won't be bringing guests. Even some of my friends aren;t bringing their gf's for prior commitments
