I said it before, I'm very impressed...they came out beautiful! You're father was so impressed too he wanted to show them off to more people, so he invited more guests.

I wish I had the patience...



yeah lol, wish i can say thats what it was but i knew he was going to do this and even called it. I asked him dozens of times and sat with him, went over my list and i knew he would remember last minute lol and people i cant believe he forgot hahahaha

i don't mind it, i like it. Just hard when you have such a small time frame. Alot of running around to do to get the cardstock, the rhinestones, the ribbon, fed ex packages to the calligrapher, wait for her to send back, order boxes and wait to receive those. If i had more time it would've been alot better hahaha



Your dad sounds funny!

I had a fleeting thought about trying to do them myself, but I'm afraid I'll end up regretting it once I'm started. I need to make a decision so I can order them..I'm starting to feel stressed about it now.

well if you do it, give yourself enough time to make them bc it can get stressful. If you have someone to help you even better. My mom would seriously get home and get right to it, i would tell her RELAX woman for a bit but shes like 'I CANT once i start something i have to finish it and it feels like it wont end' hahahaha so she helped me alot to get them done quicker, and didnt help that we had 175 of them to make

but if you think you might not like it then definitely order to save yourself the trouble

'RELAX woman'...that made me laugh out loud!! Yeah, your mom was a big help to you! The both of you did an awesome job considering the time constraint...you're both machines! Yeah, I don't think I'll even attempt it. I don't need any stress right now.

i like doing these type of things but i didnt want to do it for my own wedding lol...i wanted to get other things done and not have too much to do the last few months so thats why i originally ordered invites. BUt i have to say i do feel good now about making them myself, and sometimes good things come out of a bad situation

Oh, definitely, without a doubt...and you should feel good about it! It is quite an accomplishment. See I know I'd get frustrated if it's not just right...if I'm going to do something, I like to do it the right way and I would want it to be just so.

If you enjoy doing it, you should seriously consider doing something on the side. Yes, see, everything happens for a reason..you never know.

oh god i know, i measured every little side and made sure that each side was perfect even. Since mine had 3 layers of cardstock for example the bottom one as you can see its the edge so only a certain amount shows, i measured every single one so they can all have the exact amount showing.

ItalianBride, I'm sorry if I hijacked your thread.

That's what I mean...that's the right way to do it...you want to make sure you're consistent, and that takes time. It sounds like your mom worked the same way you did, which helped because if yo have someone helping you that say looks to take shortcuts, then that's added stress..ha.
