Wedding Invitations: The Big Reveal

Finally, FINALLY, after months of planning and deliberating and stressing and gluing, I'm ready to show you our wedding invitations. My apologies for the delay, but I wanted to make sure that everyone had received theirs so that no blog-reading invitee got their first glimpse online instead of in person.

Also, as a side note, the RSVPs have started to come in, and can I just say that even though "Can't wait!" is pre-printed on the card? Every time a "yes" comes in and that circle is checked, I'm all like, "Aww, they can't wait. How sweet!" Yes, really. Apparently I'm easily tricked.

And lastly, all of them piled together, sealed and stamped and ready to be mailed:


By the time they were done, I could no longer tell if they were pretty and interesting and reflective of us, or if they were just boring, amateurish attempts. But looking at these pictures, I think it's the former. At least, that's what I'm going to keep telling myself.
