First invites sent out!

emmiejune, 29 August, 2013 at 14:07 Posted on Planning 0 4

This morning I posted my first lot of invites out! Exciting stuff. I feel I can relax a bit more now. However, last night was not so much fun. I have been making the invites myself and we have different ones for the whole day and just the evening. So, I thought I was done and I realised I had not seen any spare inserts for the whole day. I started thinking, 'have I stuck some day ones on to the cards that were only supposed to be evening?'

Anyway, after opening every sealed envelope I found that, yes, there were 4 rogue invites! That would have been awkward when they arrived for the 3pm ceremony! Thank goodness I checked, even if it was annoying and I had to use white envelopes in the end rather than my lilac ones!

Have booked the photographer as well now so not much more left to do! Has been a whirlwind 4 weeks of planning so far!

    How exciting!! I can’t wait to send mine out – doing it next month to avoid the Christmas mix up.

    Lucky you checked the invites, it’s so easy to do when you’re writing and in the zone – my current battle is turning to get the final evening guest list off the OH, he has changed his mind so many times i decided to give him a deadline of the 1st September, it for his own good haha.

    Oh, don't worry about rushing! I am only sending mine out because I wanted to get them done before I go back to work on Monday as I'll have a lot less time! Not sure why the font is doing this!

    Not sure why the font did that in the last post!

    I have done 2 sorts: plain one sided card with paper on for the evening and then gate fold with ribbon for the whole day. I could not afford ribbon for all of them! I used a punch to cut out the snowflake design and then used the snow flakes to decorate the back of the envelopes. (Yes, the same ones I had to open so have to do it twice!) Excuse the mess! There are different ribbon combinations but all around the navy, lilac and sage colours scheme!
