They came out really nice. The blue sand and burnt edges on the invites are very cool.

Those look AWESOME! Did you use plastic or glass bottles? How are you shipping them? I might want to do that for my AHR here - Great job! SO glad you had some good helpers!

Thanks, we used glass bottles, we hand delivered the majority of them. We only had to mail out 10 out the 50 we made. I spent about $2.35 per bottle on postage so it wasn't too bad. The girls were so great! And Berto was a trooper burning all the invites.
