Miss Invitations

I was slightly hesitant to post this 'invitation' blog because I didn't want to ruin the surprise you will all be getting in the mail...however, most of you will be getting yours in a few days so here is a sneak peek!

Before I show you the pics, I should tell you this horror story...

I ordered my prints from...wait? Should I expose the company that screwed me over? Is it ethical? Absolutley I will expose them! Moving on..I ordered them from overnightprints.com. I thought it would be fairly legit and I got a great deal. I order 1000 matte oversized postcards with rounded edges and 1000 white envelopes. I even paid $20 extra for quick shipping so I could get it on Friday and work on them over the weekend. Friday comes along and...no invites! I called overnightprints.com on Monday morning pretty upset but they refunded my shipping and said that it is arriving that day. I was fine with that and just excited to get them out.

that lasted 2 seconds...

Monday after work, Nephi and I went to my apt. to find a big & heavy white box full of...only invitations. NO envelopes. I couldn't have killed a grown man. I was so mad! Good thing Nephi knows me so well. He took me out to dinner and then we went shopping and he bought me this super cute outfit! (Cream skirt with a gold silk top.) Such a cute boy. Anyway--needless to say, I freaked, was put on hold for 25 min, yelled a little, cried a little and went to Artco in Rexburg and bought big cream cute envelopes.

Here are some pics!

Our night started off like this. Our favorite bread bowls from a little deli place here in Rexburg.

(Getting them to-go turned out to be a complete mess for my cheddar and broccoli soup.)



I ordered 1000 invites because we had over 500 invites and the dang company wouldn't let me order 700! Oh well. Everyone is getting one. :)




Here is the sealing invite! I just took the design that my friend Bridgette designed and designed this one on my own! I printed it up on card stock and then rounded the corners myself.

COMPLETED! Only took us 3-4 hours to stuff 600 envelopes.

All ready to go to the post office!

**Look for them in the mail**
