Invitations

The invitations have arrived, and they turned out very pretty I think!


Now to put them all together... I never realized how much work is involved.


To save time and since I have horrible handwriting, we opted for the envelope icing, which I thought was pretty much the only thing we had to do besides put them together.
Not so much...

1. Use the glue dots to insert the inner envelope liner.
2. Put the names on the outside of the inner envelope. (Which I did not know about)
3. Put stamps on the RSVP.
4. Stuff the inner envelope with the RSVP and invitation.
5. Add the envelope icing to the outer envelope.
6. Put stamps on the outer envelope.
7. Seal the envelope.
8. Go to post office and make sure we have enough postage.
9. Go to post office and get them hand canceled.


So far I put all the liners in the inner envelope. I want to practice before writing the names on the inner envelope, luckily it’s the shorter name, only Mr. and Mrs. SoNSo, and no address of course, but I still hate writing it, plus I want to go get a pink pen to match the other names ink. I still have two more weeks before they go and I want to wait for Valentine’s Day stamps at the post office so I have some time still. It was so neat to see them though, its so official when its all written out to see, once again, I am so excited!!
