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…
