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?

milejilo - Did you gocco your invites or print? What fonts did you use? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these...

thank you so much kb22246 .... both invites were actually printed on laser printers. the tag on the bottle, i just wrote that free hand, the labels on the cylinders and envelopes all that was printed on a laser printer... but i'm sure an ink jet printer would work just as well. The paper for the flat invites is truly amazing, the picture doesn't do it justice... if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to pm me.

Those look professional...so fun too because it will remind people of when they use to make treasure maps as kids...you know...dipping paper in tea to stain and burning the edges...so fun!
