I volunteered to make my sisters wedding invitations!!!

My sister is younger than me and pretty comptuer illiterate. She is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

She went to target and bought some really nice invitations

I am entering everyones names and addresses into excel, we bought clear avery labels, and printed up her address and we already affixed them to the envelopes. Let me tell you they look amazing. And then when im done inputting the addresses into excel, i will print everyones address on the clear lables.

It really looks great, and she got a box of 50 invites, with rsvp cards and envelopes for 30 bucks. the labels were 25 dollars. and the priting is free cause we are printing them up here at FH's office on his proffesional laser printer!!

I cant believe im actually doing this now...lol she better help me when the time comes

You're such a good sister. Plus, you're getting great practice and ideas for when your own time comes. Nice going!

Re: I volunteered to make my sisters wedding invitations!!!

so far i did 50. They are sooooooooooooo easy and they look professional!!!!

I love using the clear avery labels, its saving her so much money, cause she isnt bringing them to get caligraphy.

All thats left for me to do, is input the rest of the addresses, and stuff them, wich is very simple and actually fun.

I am thinking of doing this for my wedding. Its really inexpensive. I think it looks really nice too!

Our printer at the office worked amazing on the velum paper. It came out looking so amazing!

Re: I volunteered to make my sisters wedding invitations!!!

I'm so shocked, about how easy it was,
There is alot you can do, and now I'm realizing i dont have to spend $$$$ on invites

I can print everything at the office, and add bows, ribbon, and everything myself.
