Invitations Are GO!

As of today the invitations are out and heading your way! And if they're not heading your way it's because you didn't ask to be invited; we gave you ample warning so you can't pin this on us!

Your incoming invitation is fashioned from LCI Paper's fancy paper and Card Stock. The interior design features watermark images traced via Photoshop (I can't draw with a tablet... I don't feel any shame). The letters are all addressed handwritten by Amy, unless it was one of the three or four I did, in which case your envelope is upside down! And each invitation comes with an RSVP card and return envelope already stamped!

Assembly!

Yesterday was the day Amy and I were able to set aside for assembling the invitations to be sent out, and what I thought would be somewhat hectic though turned out to be fun! By the end of it there was an exciting "we're getting closer" feeling going through me and made the day feel pretty awesome!

We had already printed out the RSVPs the previous weekend, but still had to get the invitations printed. The reason the invitations had been held off on was because I wrote the url for the blog down as undreadwedding instead of undeadwedding and that needed to be fixed, and while doing so I realized that we didn't have a date down for when the RSVPs were to be back by so I fixed that. So while I was printing out invitations, Amy was cutting the RSVPs. Both the invitations and the RSVPs are odd sizes for the envelops that we got from LCI Paper, and so we had to cut them all out individually (this being the reason I wasn't expecting the invitations to be all that fun).

After that Amy fired up her candle and got the sealing wax out! She had been practicing with the sealing wax for a bit, learning the tricks to getting it to work just right.

The sealing stamp we go is a little skull dude! The stamp isn't carved all that deep and a few of you may not be able to tell exactly what the stamp is (or you may not have paid attention and not seen the image in the stamp at all) and so I wanted to have a picture of the stamp up on the blog so everyone could see!

As Amy worked on the seals I began assembling the invitations and getting them ready to be sent out to you! And I only forgot to put one RSVP card in an envelope! This was corrected!

In total we did 27 invitations, most of which were couples, so if everyone were to come, we're expecting somewhere from 56 to 60 people!!

After we finished putting all the invitations together Amy pulled out a little dancing skeleton stamp her mom had found and thought we'd like for the wedding and we "sealed" the backs of the mailing envelops with him!

Hope to see you there!!
