Oh Boy, It’s Really Happening!

Oh Boy, It’s Really Happening!

Our Save the Dates are in the mail! It’s really official. Mr. Peacock and I are getting married. This proves it:

The flash is broken on our camera so these pictures aren’t the best The color of the envelopes is closer to the color in the first picture than the latter. We worked so hard on the design of those silly cards, I am so darn proud of them.

The only downside is that we left our last name off of them. Initially, these were only going to some very close friends and family rather than to the entire guest list and we liked the design better without the last names. Then our parents weighed in on this decision and the list grew and grew. Most of our list won’t notice, but we are worried about a few great aunts and uncles. They may know me as one of “Dianne’s kids” rather than by my actual first name. These people are also unlikely to do further investigating on our website to find out exactly who is sending them mail. However, since they were already printed and about to be stuffed, I pretended like it didn’t bother me.

That’s me, Miss Peacock, spreading confusion through the Chicago suburbs.

Anyone else have an “oops!” moment with their printed stuff?

I had an oops moment! I misspelled my future husband’s middle name on the invite! He didn’t notice for a few weeks, and he had proofread them for me so I didn’t take all the blame. And, he was the one who used the abbreviated version of his middle name on his driver’s license because he didn’t know how to spell it at 16.

Heehee, we almost had an “oops!” moment–when we got our first set of proofs back from the stationer’s, the FI took one look at the invite and exclaimed :”No! I don’t want my confirmation name there!! We have to change it!” It’s so random what these boys get hung up on, isn’t it? Needless to say, he felt really bad when we made the change and my mom insisted on ordering another proof…but they came a few days ago and look awesome.

I had two, yes two, on my save the date. 1. It said invitations not invitation. I *thought* I looked at the proof. opps. 2. The embosser company added CA after I spelled out California. So the back return address was Los Angeles, California, CA. I was so annoyed, but I was in a rush and I had to use it. I learned my lesson and made everyone close to me proof-read my invitations.

I love yours, they are beautiful!

My FI actually didn’t know how to spell his mother’s name! Thank heavens we got that worked out in guest-list-space, before any printing was done.

My future in-laws were upset that our invites said “together with their families” instead of their names. In hindsight, we should have checked with them first to see their preferred lay-out, but such is life.

will you have a return address anywhere that can include last names?
obviously it won’t be in the corner where the beautiful n+j is, but maybe you can add it to the back flap?

Do you mind sharing what kind of label or “thing” you did for return addresses??
