Wedding Blog

I am proud to say that I finally mailed out all our invitations. I never thought that day would arrive. Honestly planning our wedding has been the utmost longest thing I have ever done in my life (we’ve been engaged for 3.5 years). It’s only normal that when I would look at my wedding checklist the 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding: send out invitations seemed kinda far.

This is my last invitation post cuz it’s time for the compte rendu! Hurray!!!

I’m really happy with our invitations - especially the price because it definitely fit in our budget. Even though I had some issues with the printing, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Now it’s time to design the other stationery items - menus, place cards, programs, table numbers… here I come.

How much did your DIY invitations costs? Did you think it was worth going through all that trouble?
