Wow! That sounds awesome! Post a pic once you put one together. How many of these are you making?

Wow, that sounds really cool! Aren't you the one that did the DIY save the dates & said you would never do something like that again? I guess you recovered!

Tasha, I can't wait to see these! I tried thinking of different crafty ways to combine sewing/paper/fabric since I love that kind of stuff, but in the end I wimped out and didn't do it. So I will no doubt be very jealous when I see yours

Christa, Kash & Janet,

 

yeah, the paper obsession/neurosis continues with these invites. I hope that they turn out. I received some samples from the printer, so I am going to do a test run this weekend. If it looks good I will post photos on Monday.

 

oh, and yeah... I'll be doing approx 125-150. I am ordering a bunch of extra invites so if I decide to poke my eyeballs out from frusteration I can always just send the plain old cards to some folks.

You are a better bride than me! I can't wait to see them - I'm sure they'll be amazing and we'll all be super jealous!
