It only took me two weeks, three tubes of brown ink, a few paper cuts, and over 1,500 presses but OUR INVITATIONS ARE DONE! Hallelujah! And as I dropped off the invites this morning in the mail, not only did I feel the relief of finishing our invites, but goosebumps crept over my body! It was a special moment between me, the invites, and the mailbox! Then I promptly rewarded myself with a Tall Iced Mocha from Starbucks – total coffee addict!
I’m really happy with the final product, even though it was a lot of work! Each piece is unique, because of the quality of the press, and a labor of love! I did however have help along the way…
Mama Cookie spent a few nights cutting our damask envelope liners, while I pressed and hand addressed each invite. Mr. Cookie also helped by collating and placing stamps on our RSVPs and envelopes.
Without further ado, I give you our invitation suite!

Our postcard RSVP. You can’t see it very well in the photo but it says, “Write a Message to the Lovebirds” with space for guests to write a personalized message.
The front and back of our directions, lodging, and pig roast invite
The Gocco and Gocco supplies have commandeered our dining table for the past few weeks. With the completion of the invites late last night, Mr. Cookie echoed a sigh of relief this morning knowing that we will not be eating dinner on his “man couch” for a while. Yes, there are more Gocco wedding projects to come, but for now I am just happy that these puppies are finally in the mail.
How did you feel once your invitations were off in the mail?
They look great! That makes me very happy that I’m getting a gocco for my birthday. I know that I can figure out how to use it and it will be great! Congrats on the invites. They are soooo PRETTY!
Your invites are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!
I know exectly how you feel about getting the invites done - it felt like a disease by the time I sent mine - just needed them OUT of the house!!
Now you can look forward to all those RSVPs!
oh my goodness, you ambitious little thing! your colors and the birdies and the amazing attention to detail and calligraphy=droooooooool! i’ve been putting off doing the “calligraphy” (aka my chicken scratch cursive) on our invitations because i’m afraid of messing them up and running out of envelopes hehe. you did an amazing job and it looks gorgggggggggeous.
Wow those look great. I think you guys will go into the invitation making business after this wedding.
ohh are those sage green envelopes? Can I ask where you purchased them?
Oh my goodness they are beautiful! May I ask how you got the ink to print so solid on your mountains? My gocco still prints all patchy, am I doing something wrong? Do you need to clean the screen between flashing and the first inking?
sooo purdy. You should open your own invite shop..I would buy from you! I’m in love with those envelopes.
Every detail is amazing! I am especially impressed with your handwriting! Your guests are going to be proudly hanging those babies up on the fridge:-)
Stunning! I looooove the bird-and-branch design. What fun to get something so beautiful in the mail.
Beautiful! Where did you get the damask papers, especially in a piece that big? I’m looking for something in black and white and seem to have no luck.
All that with a 42-cent stamp??? That’s pretty good! I had to buy the 59-cent ones…=(
unbelievable!!! So absolutely stunning. You definitely deserved that mocha. 
Your handwriting looks fantastic. Did you do anything extra-special to make it look so good? What kind of pen did you use?
gorgeous!!! this past weekend, we made all the envelopes. our invites came in today from the letterpress folks, so i’ve got a hot evening of corner rounding ahead of me… one insert to design, print, cut & round, then the assembly begins. i can’t wait to drop these babies in the mail!
These turned out great!! Were you using the PG-11? I am having the hardest time tracking one down. Great job! I’m sure you’re relieved to have one more thing done on your list!
