Putting wedding invitations is hard work!!! This is a photo montage of the journey, but it doesn't show the amount of time it takes. So future brides, plan ahead for this!
First I tied the ribbons on all of the invites. Dustin helped me some, but picky me had to approve all of them, and redid some.
We put labels on the back saying where we are registered. Some people think it's bad etiquette, but more couples are including this information with their invitations. We also used labels on the outside envelopes for our return address and with the recipient's address. The Knot said this can be impersonal, however I did hand-write everyone's name on inner envelope.
All 175 tied! They look pretty!!!
All stuffed in envelopes with the addresses ready to be sealed!
Okay. Dustin really wanted wax seals on the labels. We took time to practice so they won't look like a mess. We learned a lot of tricks while doing it. It helps to cut the block into pieces and melt it in a spoon vs just dripping it on the paper.
We got a lot better at it!
Dustin wants this to be his task so he mainly did it all.
Our roommate received the first completed one!
Hopefully you'll enjoy your invitation if you are receiving one! We put a lot of work into them!
