invitation central!
Due to a glitch with our RSVP cards, I found myself pressed for time to send out our invitations. I wasn’t going to have time for calligraphy and the thought of hand-writing all those envelopes made my head explode. I decided labels would be the fastest, easiest, and cheapest solution, although the Emily Post in me hung her head in shame. Oh well– I decided to make them as pretty and elegant as I could and that would just have to be good enough.
I used the popular wrap-around template from Martha Stewart, which somehow manages to elevate an ordinary mailing label into something special.
After filling in the addresses, I printed out the sheets on Pageant Rose paper from Kinkos (thank you for the recommendation Mrs. Lovebug!). Then, I put them through my brand-new Xyron machine.

I’m officially a Xyron addict. I’m frequently embarrassed to be the least-crafty of the Bees, but even someone as clumsy and incompetent as myself can handle the Xyron.Then Mr. Jasmine and I used a craft knife to cut out the labels. Mr. Jasmine gets lots of xoxoxo for his careful, loving handiwork. Surprisingly, it all took much less time than we anticipated.


Since my parents’ return address was already printed on the envelope, we added an ode to our song instead
It kind of amuses me that our save the date envelopes were more formal than our wedding ones, but I think it demonstrates how my thought process about the wedding has evolved. I’ve relaxed about the “rules” a lot more and I’m embracing (or at least trying to embrace) a more go with the flow attitude.
