My invitations arrived yesterday. Mr. Lily and I went to pick them up from the package room last night, and were so nervous about seeing them. We had a pretty good idea what they would look like since Mr. Lily designed them and Wildflower Letterpress had sent us samples of the colors letterpressed. Still, we hadn’t seen the whole thing done up so we were on pins and needles with excitement.
Mr. Lily started ripping the tape of the box in the elevator. When we got inside our apartment, he tore the box open and we had an “Aaaaaaaaaaah” moment. They are outrageously beautiful. I seriously could not have asked for a more gorgeous invitation. The paper is fantastic and they are pressed deeply. Perfect, perfect, perfect. There was lots of high-5′ing and hugs! I can’t wait to share them with you, but it will have to wait until after they are mailed!! More soon.

oh, i love paper myself so can imagine your excitement! i, too, am waiting excitedly for the reveal… congrats on having them in hand. seeing it set out in print makes the whole “wedding thing” seem so much more real, no?
can’t wait to see the pics…soon please.
i have a question…how do you (return) address the invites. i’m doing ours diy and i was wondering do i have to write our return on everyone? i know that address labels are unacceptable. can i use a stamp? or is that just as tacky?
Future Mrs. j.o.b — For our thank you cards, we did not have our return address printed in case we move. I’m looking for an embosser to imprint our address in them. I haven’t found one I like yet, but will keep you posted…

About Me: Here are some things I love?�‚�? painting, drawing, knitting and all other crafty things (including glueing popsicle sticks together); burritos (must be from Arizona); indie/70s rock; whiskey; dogs (if only my tiny apt could support one!); bad TV; and reading. I'm also crazy indecisive so fingers crossed wedding planning doesn't kill me.
