Invitation Dry Run

February 2nd, 2008 @ 12:23 pm by Mrs. Penguin

I have extra boxes on hand since I ordered boxes in quantity for our wedding invitations, so I decided to use some for the Valentines Card Exchange! I’m glad I made these, because I learned a lot of logistical things for my future invites, like the postage is flat rate per ounce (no matter where it goes in the country), and also that you need TONS of candy for these suckers!

I quilled some hearts with little love quotes on the inside… kind of like fortunes, only, you know, not fortunes. So actually, not like fortunes at all. I gocco’ed a card, gocco’ed the box tops, filled the boxes with Conversation Hearts candy, tied them with twine, and shipped them off. The whole thing is a complete ripoff of Mrs. Gummibear’s invitations. And guess what? My invitations will be too. I laugh in the face of originality.

those are fantastic! And I must have been on vacation during Miss GB’s post, because those are amazing as well, and I never saw them. Very impressive.

They’re so cute! I was wondering, where did you get the boxes from? I’ve been looking for boxes like those but can’t seem them anywhere online. Thanks!

P.S. After watching your gocco demo on WeddingBee TV, I put aside my fears of gocco-ing and bought one and totally love it. Double thanks for being my gocco-fear-slayer! =)

question… so do you have to wrap the boxes to send them? or can you just put a ribbon or label sticker to adhere to top to bottom and then send them? Thanks!!
