I spent a Wednesday night putting our invitations together. We went with an unconventional wedding invitation: a very large poster. I think it’s 9″x21″. Seriously. No reply card or maps were included, just instructions to email RSVPs to our new communal email address.

Repeat - 50 times!

I got the paper lace on Etsy from bookerpie. 12 yards for $3.50? A steal! I put the invitations together while Mr. Joey watched a UW basketball game. He offered his help, but I had fun doing it myself.

The last step in the packaging process was putting on the stamps, but they hadn’t arrived when I was assembling the invites. I found stamps I like, but they weren’t available at my post office. It took a week to get them, but aren’t they super cute?!

Did you put your invitations together all at once, or in steps? Did you have a team, or did you do it yourself?

Oh, they definitely look like bells to me now! I LOVE the wrap you’re using — is that ribbon?

What a great idea! I just sent my Save the Dates out this morning and it took me several nights to finish the product! I kept getting tired of working on it and took way too many breaks!

You can bet your sweet behind the FI will be helping me put together the invites to get them ready for the mail. =D

Wow! These are so unique! I love the paper lace.

I just put my invites together on Monday & Tuesday nights, and mailed them yesterday!

How early are you sending yours out? (Just asking because I know your wedding isn’t until August, but I heard that the postal rate may go up in May.)

Neato! I would do a happy dance to find something as unique and fun in my mailbox.
Just out of curiousity: how many stamps did you have to use on each?

@BeachBrideT: We sent them out already. It’s really early but I travel a lot for work and get about 1 week notice for a months long trip. Something like that throws all the wedding planning off.
