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

[milejilo]

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…

[milejilo]

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