About Me: I have been in wedding planning mode since Mr. Jelly Beans popped the question almost two years ago. I am a very dorky and sentimental person. I love laughing and living life alongside my husband-to-be. We have been in a long distance relationship for over 6 years - he is in California and I am presently in Canada, so you can imagine how excited we both are for our upcoming wedding.
Rehearsal Dinner Invitations
September 29th, 2007 @ 7:26 pm by Mrs. Jelly Beans
After months and months of searching for our rehearsal dinner venue we finally decided to host it in our favorite Thai Restaurant. Yummy! My mouth starts to water just thinking about it. *drooling*So after making that all important decision, I was finally able to start creating our rehearsal invitations. Mr. Jelly Bean’s reaction was quite priceless “Do we really need another invitation?” Silly wabbit! 
I knew I wanted to incorporate our vintage Parisian theme but also keeping in mind our increasing wedding costs. So I needed something vintage, adorable and cheap. It was the cheap part that was challenging. I found so many I loved but cost was a major factor.
I finally hit the jackpot during one of my shopping trips to our local Winners. Vintage Postcards - $5.99 for 24 postcards. What a steal! And I wouldn’t need to purchase envelopes. As simple as printing and mailing. Well kinda!
Using my trusty HP Printer I began to print our invitations. Once I got the template figured out, it was smooth sailing from there. I printed out our rehearsal and dinner info along with the individual names and addresses in the same brown color and font that we have used on all our other projects. I know that I will probably be the only one to notice but I have this burning need to keep everything consistent.
I am really pleased with the end result and Mr. Jelly Beans was very pleased with the cost-analysis of this project.
All done! Off to the post office they went!

Nicely done….and at a great price! We used postcards twice for our wedding “paperwork” and everyone enjoyed them.
has anyone included the rehearsal dinner invitation in the wedding invitation? is there anything wrong with doing that to save on postage?
