The Whole Round-Up

July 27th, 2009 @ 9:24 am by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Our invitations came in two parts. Mainly because our stationer had to skip out of work for a week to attend her sister’s wedding. So, hey, I can’t complain right? Weddings, as we all know, are a very valid excuse for most anything.

Since they came in two parts, I’ve been staring at the first bunch (about 90% of the goods) for almost two weeks and trying to find ways to “play” with them. I stamped the RSVP envelopes, I numbered the RSVPs in case guests forget to write their names and I tied and re-tied the raffia once or twice. Today, I received the second part, our handkerchiefs. The portion of the invitations that will display our home-drawn map (Mr. CB’s drawing, not mine. Luckily). Ready for ’em? Cuz I am.

The whole suite (including our rehearsal dinner invites, bottom right):

The invitation, itself:

The hang tag, featuring our website:

The RSVP card and its return envelope:

Our return address on the main envelope (my favorite part):

The map Mr. CB drew featured on a 14″ x 14″ handkerchief. Surprisingly, this adds no weight to our $1.39 postage.

You did a fabulous job. What a great way to incorporate both you and your fiance’s taste! How exciting! We are almost done with ours too! Lots of tying on this end too! It seems never ending! I’d love to see a price breakdown if your willing.
Thanks!

This invitation suite is awesome: it’s rustic, whimsical, very you. And definitely the map is my favorite part.
