Double Gulp. The Invitations.

September 24th, 2008 @ 5:00 pm by Mrs. Coconut

Since I already forewarned ya’ll that we went ahead and hired someone else to make our invitations, this post won’t be such a huge shock. To be honest, I think I ran out of gas in the midst of studying for the bar (which I passed!), and helping Sister Coconut get married. It was definitely an unanticipated expense, but our letterpress invitations turned out beautifully. I promise you, my homemade gocco invitations would not have been 1/2 of what Kristin at Twin Raven Press made for us.

Before I show you the big reveal, here are some pictures of them in the making! All the pictures are brought to you by Kristin!





Don’t they look so pretty? I’ll show you more tomorrow! Did anyone else run out of gas and fork over the dough for the invitations?
