MIB......... Invite ***pics***

This forum is a constant source of inspiration, thanks to all of you, our invites were a huge hit and everyone is super excited about the wedding. The last of our invites went out last week, so I thought I would share some pictures. I truly loved the idea of the MIB, but we knew it would cost us a pretty penny so we decided not to do STD’s. Here’s a break down of the costs and websites we used to order supplies:

all labels and tags: $33.59

Brown Kraft Labels - Rectangular - Kraft Outlet - Brown Kraft Labels, Kraft Paper and Cardstock, Kraft Printing Supplies.

100 cylinders: $63.37

Snap-Seal Tubes - Uline

Bottles, shells and sand: $76.21

Message in a Bottle Invitation

Raffia: $15.00

Kraft Paper: $10.00

I bought these at Kate’s Paperie

Stamp and stamp pad: $ 12.00

I bought these at Micheal’s

Total to make 80 MIB's: $210.17 (2.63 each) plus postage

We gave out most of our invites but we had at least 20 we needed to mail….Postage: $2.59 each

We ran out of MIB invites and we had to mail invites to family out of the country so we decided to use the same design but using a flat card.

All supplies bought at paper presentation in nyc, here’s their website paperpresentation.com … each invite came out to $2.43 plus postage…

What do you guys think?

Love the bottles. They came out really good.

ooh they are beautiful! i adore the plam frond-y looking swirl thing (real technical, right?) on them, so cool!

OOOHHh they turned out great!!

They look great. Did you burn the edges of the paper?

Great job. I love them!

it was actually FI's job to burn the paper... he burned his fingers a couple of times, poor thing.

Those are beautiful! They look very professional and expensive. I'm sure your guests will be thrilled to receive them!

Great work!

MIB came out great. the paper you used was a really nice touch and so was the tag with your date. great job!

They look really nice. Great job.
