FH and I finally finished our invitations.
The only thing left to do is print the labels and mail them out. Best part? we weighed them at our post office and they are a lot less to mail than we originally thought, the bad part is that the stamps we're going to use are UGLY. oh well.

Wax Seals are a PAIN in the ARSE! but I think they were totally worth the effort.

So...here are some pics before I go to bed. The rest are in my ALBUM

Love it!!! and i've hand made wax seals before so i TOTALLY feel your pain! they came out GREAT~! question, did you make the seals separately and then adhere them with a glue dot or did you actually make the seal right on the invite? if you did the later than KUDOS - that is soooo difficult to get the right amount of wax and make them round

They came out great, congrats!

Now send them out!!

I'm WORKIN on it!

I was told to send them out 8 weeks in advance. that gives me till the 28th. They'll be out by then.
When did you send yours out?

Oh please. I was traveling for work so I had to finish my invites early. They were sitting on the couch and FH decided that he was worried about something happening to them (we have 2 cats) and sent them out on the 10th! Hopefully people won't forget about us and RSVP.

He's nuts, but I thought it was cute that he was so worried about them.

we made the seal directly onto the invites

That's adorable! We have 3 cats and FH has our invites in a box, inside another box, on top of a box so that the cats won't go near them.

thanks again for the compliments ladies!
My mom just told me not to show anyone until she gets to see them, so please, if you happen to run into my mother, don't tell her you saw them!
