Whew! The invites have been ordered! Now I get to spend the holiday weekend anxiously awaiting their arrival from the printers. We are having them printed through an online print shop, and so I'm really nervous because I don't know how they'll turn out. Well, I hope! To the left you have a glimpse of the image we had printed -- with any luck the colors will be true and it won't look cheesy. (Please, oh please, don't look cheesy!!) This whole process is definitely stressful, and I have to keep reminding myself that pretty much everyone but our parents and Adam and me will be tossing their invites into the trash on October 12, so I shouldn't sweat it. The perfect is the enemy of the good.Like the Save-the-Dates, this invitation is a collaborative effort from my talented family. My father did the illustrations, all of us worked to pick out our favorite fonts and tweak the text, and my brother scanned the images, re-colored them, and put all the graphic layers together. If nothing else, it makes me really happy that our invites are so personal to us. Ok, keep your fingers crossed that there are no problems with the order!
Cards arrived and they look good! Now for the slow process of assembling, addressing, and stamping the invites! With any luck, we'll get them all out in a few weeks!
