FINALLY DONE!!!

You may have noticed that I have been MIA from blogland lately. Well, the greenhouse has been a big part of it and this little project right here is the other reason. All free time for a week straight was spent putting together wedding invitations. Bride-to-be lives too far to just zoom home to help and her work schedule made it impossible to get together. So, since I have evenings off (she doesn't), I volunteered...

I will say these were a huge money saver! $350 vs. $60 and some ink. Oh, but they were a time consumer!!!! I WOULD do it again though....

We picked these up at Michaels Craft store....

Printing part.... printed the directions cards, response cards, mailing labels, return envelope labels, and the invitation...

I could not get the templates that they have you use on the company's online site to work. So I had to dream up a way to get the information on those little cards for response and directions. I ended up getting packaging labels and printing off those with the response and directions info. and sticking them to the cards!!! Kind of a hassel, but it worked!

Then they all had to be assembled, three inserts, double stick tape to the invite, tie a ribbon, seal with a sticker. It was STICKERAMA!!!! I counted 7 sticker parts to each invite. Thank goodness only 60 total were sent out.

Daughter in love came to the rescue for a few hours one afternoon...

She is always smiley.... me,,,,,, not so much!!!

Then it was off to the post office..... Finally Done!!!
