Get Out Of My Dreams…

March 5th, 2008 @ 1:44 pm by Mrs. Penguin

…and into my mailbox.

It’s not done yet but our invite suite is so close to being done! I’m waiting to print our RSVP cards because we have yet to make the decision as to what our meal options will be, but Mr. Penguin’s mom is flying in from Minnesota this weekend to accompany us on our tasting outing!

Here are most of the pieces, finished…

Great job! Those look awesome. Ditto about the envelope. Can I ask how you went about renting the shuttle service?

Looks great. What type of carstock did you use? It looks like it has some texture to it.

Yvi - I actually freaked out one day and didnt do any shopping around and just booked a company in El Dorado County (Garrett Transportation) because I’d seen them at the wineries before…I was afraid if I hired a big company, they would get lost in the backroads to the winery (its even hard to find via GPS so I was so nervous). Since I know they go out there all the time, I decided to book them. It was about $1300 for 2 busses that shuttle 100 people. I believe that fee will cover a full day’s rental.

So, I’m unaware of where your wedding is located, but I just booked a local company outside of Sacramento :)

How did you do the rounded edges of the cards? I know it’s expensive to send that to places and have it done or at least that’s what I’ve heard…they look absolutely gorgeous and so fresh. Definitely will set a mood.

msbutton - DO NOT send it out to get it done :)

they have them at every craft store…maybe $4-$10…although I bought a cheaper one (around $5) and its really difficult to use, so if youre gonna do a lot of round edging, splurge on a higher quality one :)
