I spent days pouring over invitation websites, shocked mostly, that the price per invitation could reach as much as $5! I explored options at craft stores, where you can buy the kit and print your own invitations, but none of those kits really had a design that would match my venue or look. I pondered hiring a graphic designer, but for such an intimate event, I really couldn't justify the cost.
So, armed with an idea I mocked up a few months ago, we embarked on the only do-it-yourself project I plan on braving. This weekend, we made the invitations. I bribed Bridesmaid with breakfast to get her to come over. New Daughter didn't really have a choice but to help.
precision hole punching!
After a couple of trips to Michael's, and one to Joanne's, we completed all the invitations in one day.
Now, if the envelopes I ordered will arrive, we may be able to mail these!

What fun! Can hardly wait to get mine.
They look pretty cool in the photos.
Hope the envelopes get to you so the invites can get to us ;-)
