Ok, I know a bunch of you will say 'WAIT!' But read on...
Yes, I am getting married in June 2006, but I have had this vision in my mind of the invitations I want. I have search UP and down for them, or at least something like them, with NO luck.
I then exchanged a few emails with SonicSteph, who was great at getting my idea and gave me a rough estimate of $600 for 100 invites.
I then decided to go to Pearle Paint (my fave store--I am way too crafty for my own good) and bought some card stock and slightly thicker-than-regular papaer (but not as thick as card stock) and made up some of my own, so I have a 'sample' to try and shop around for custom invites.
I showed my FH and he LOVED them. Also showed my MOH, she too loved them. FH said 'You can make our invites' Which I would be cool with, but this was time consuming, mostly for the lining up of the type etc. I think I could do it!
The cost would be about 1.10 each, that'd include 1 invite, 1 reception card, 1 response card w/ envelope and 1 envelope to mail in.
Only thing is 1- printing the return address on the back flap, had challenges with that.
and 2- no inner envelope. Is that REALLY necessary?
Oh, I will post a pic tonight, I am at work now. I am SO proud of myself. And if I do them, I have PLENTY of time to work out the kinks.
