Ready to Request the Honour of Your Presence
Am I allowed to spell 'honour' that way, as if I'm British? All of the invite examples seem to do so. In any case, according to my mother and all the Martha Stewart types it's high time we send out invitations for our late May wedding. It took two days and a ridiculous number of emails and phone calls and my eyes are still exhausted from scrolling through pages and pages of examples online, but my mother and I finally settled on an invitation design. (Kyle gave me permission to not ask his permission very early on. I did show him the final design to approve, but he probably realized that there would be no vetoing at that point.) The invite we chose is clean and classic - white linen-type paper with 'doors' that open up to reveal the traditional invite and a pocket for rsvp cards and directions - with just enough punch and personality in the font, motif, and ribbons. Thankfully my mom and two of her friends are going to take care of tying and addressing the invites once they're printed. I'm glad we decided to have someone do the rest of the work; we had planned to design and print our own to save money but I see now it would have been too much work to be worth it, and we don't have access to a great printer anyway. We lucked out because my mother has a friend who sells the Candlelight Collection from Carlson Craft, so she walked through everything with my mom who then walked through everything with me over the phone. It was occasionally an ordeal but I'm optimistic and excited about the final product. They should have the mock-up done soon, and then the batch printing should take about a week. As far as it concerns me, however, invites can be checked off of the list. Excellent.
