Our invites are finished being pressed!!!
Yes, I am proficient with MS Paint. And this is just 1/2 of one of the stacks I received… sigh. LOVE THEM!
I just got our envelopes over the weekend so I could start addressing them (by hand… more on that little bit of insanity/epic fail another day…), and a tiny little part of our invitation suite - the rest will be here early this week!
I’ll be spending the rest of the week printing a few insert cards, cutting, assembling, and getting our ~ 215 babies ready to send out! I’m SOOOO EXCITED!
A little tease for the road….
OH! And I have an “I love USPS!” story! Our printer told me that the envelopes would be delivered Saturday morning. Of course, I had to work 7:30 AM - 1 PM at an event at my school. And OF COURSE, the mail comes between 11AM-noonish. So before I left for work, I crossed my fingers, and wrote a nice little note asking the mail carrier to either leave the package (that was insured and needed a signature) OR to give me a call so I could run home from school to sign for it (I live really close to school). I decided to run home for a minute at 10:30 AM, and saw the mailman walking down the street! So I stopped and asked him if he had any deliveries for me. He didn’t, but told me there was another delivery coming later… but that they couldn’t call me.
Bummed and dejected, I walked back to work. Then, 12:15 came around and I got a phone call… from the USPS guy!!! He called me and waited for me to run home to sign for the package! It was SOOOOO nice. It made my day better, especially since I had to get up at 7AM.

How nice! I’ve never had that great a service for a delivery… I usually have to drive to the post office or the UPS distribution center (etc.) because they never come when I am home. 
That is so great!! I can’t wait to see more of the invitation suite!! Sigh…letterpress!
Yay, how exciting! They look pretty from what I can see of them so far. : )
Wow that was really nice! And I can’t wait to see your invites!
WOO HOO! I love when things work out like that! I was waiting for my invitation samples to arrive and as soon as I saw it in the mail box, you’d thought it was Christmas at my house! I can’t WAIT to see your finished product! 
That’s s nice! My fiancée is a mailman… I like to think he’s one of those awesome mailmen that would do something like that
what a great mailman! can’t wait to see your invites!
What super mailman! My little brother went to basic training 6 weeks ago and seems to write letters or mail things that always cost more than just one forever stamp. Several times I got letters stamped that said “Postage Due” but never an amount, or an envelope to put the correct postage in. Last week, I ran into my mailman, and he had been paying the postage due for me because the letters all had the US Army as the return address. I baked him cookies on Saturday to show him how much I appreciate him
Aaah exciting! That paper looks so beautiful… I just want to touch it.
(I have a paper thing. Leave me alone. lol)
@pvaulter718: That is so wonderful! My man is a Soldier and little stories like that make me teary 
Those look great, and wow, what an awesome mailman!!!!!! Getting good mail is the highlight of my day!
Props to a positive USPS story! And I’m loving the tease swirl on your invite, can’t wait to see more!
Tease tease tease! I can’t wait to see them - and what an awesome USPS guy!
Wait a nice mailman! That’s awesome!
And I can’t wait to see more!
Nice teaser post Miss Ramen! What an awesome mail man story too - we have a great mailman for our shop that runs pick-up, but I’m never 100% sure of what the mail service will be like on the other end. Have fun with your assembly too! That’s a lot of work! : )
So far, so good! They look awesome. And that was SO nice of your mailperson- mine is a huge jerk.
i love usps waaaay more than UPS. UPS sucks.

Miss Ramen, Phoenix
Age and Occupation: 26, Optometry Student
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, Industrial Designer
Engagement Date: January 3, 2009
Wedding Date: December 2009
Venue: Phoenix Art Museum
About Me: I'm an SF-born, Seattle-raised girl, transplanted to Phoenix where I'll be getting married, and planning all the way from Orange County where I go to school (yes, it feels as crazy as it sounds). I loooooove Yogurtland, am slightly very obsessed with all things paper, am heavily addicted to wedding blogs, deeply desire a puppy, thoroughly enjoy cooking, cry when I watch (almost all) movies, thrive on solo car-karaoke, can't stop being sarcastic, am neurotic about taking pictures of almost everything I eat before I eat it, and aspire to travel the world. My super-talented fiance and I are attempting to DIY a majority of our massive (~350 guests) "clean & modern, yet romantic, but completely unexpected, with a teeny dash of vintage" wedding, stay within our not-so-massive budget, and somehow get a really luxe (but still fun!) look/feel at the same time. In music terms (since we're both really into music) think Coldplay meets Motown meets Kanye meets Sinatra.
