My co-worker and I designed the invites and had them printed letterpress at a place in CA for such a great price!!!

I'm so glad you appreciate them! I would have sent you one! I just hope my guests appreciate them as much as you do! Compliments are hard to come by sometimes! So thank you so much!

they're beautiful! what's the postage like?

ETA: i just read the rest of your post and i love the idea of sending special ones to people who will actually appreciate it as a keepsake. such a great way to have something beautiful for pics, etc. without spending a ton of $$$ on stuff that ends up in the garbage.

That was exactly my point! Hopefully they appreciate it! My parents haven't seen them yet and I cant wait to hear their reaction! They both appreciate art and have always paid for my art classes and pottery classes and College for Photography, so maybe now they will see it paid off!
