Original post by JXNOscar

Welcome to the official October thread.

This is where the '6 month girls' can chat about our weddings, how BUSY we will be this summer (summer? what summer?) and make sure we are all on track.

Congrats... Good luck stuffing... I little tip I found to be very helpful.

NUMBER the response cards so they correspond with your list. SOme people will forget to put there names or it won't be legible, this way you will have no problem knowing who they are from. Plus when you get the responses back, it will be so much easier to find the person, cause your list will be in number order.

I got 6 no's so far.... but I knew these people weren't coming

That's a really good idea, I'm definitely going to do that. Did you number them as you assembled them or did you number your guest list and work off of that?

You can number your list first, but don't number the response cards until stuffing otherwise you may drive yourself crazy looking for all of the matching envelopes are response cards

I hope to have a sample invite by this weekend also. Who is everyone using for calligraphy? what's the going rate?

Actually, I wanted calligraphy sooooooooooooooo bad (its the proper thing to do, right?) but when I saw the difference between computer calligraphy and regular, I actually liked the computer better. I truly did. Now w/ technology, I think no one would tell the difference, its that beautiful.

And the price difference is OUTRAGIOUS, like more than half. The other great thing about it is they can turn your envelopes around in like 48 hours versus weeks. And if you have any last minute additions they can handle in a timely manner.


Believe me I wasn\t originally going this direction, but again, its looks great.


okay, sales pitch over

I did my envelopes my self with my home computer... So for me the rate was $0.00 and they came out great. No one could tell the difference.

Well, sorta the same here - I used the same font as the invite company had used on my invites but unfortunately the ink wouldn't stick to the paper, so I sent them to my invite company, they did them on their computer and they used a cool gold metallic ink (but still on the computer!)

I feel your pain. FH told me his sister would spend the entire day pouting if we didn't get her a corsage because we're getting his mother one! I am not talking about a 16 year old - I am talking about a grown woman with GRANDCHILDREN!!!
