Mrs. Sand Dollar's Picture
Mrs. Sand Dollar, Houston Age and Occupation: 24, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Electrical Technician Engagement Date: January 8, 2010 Wedding Date: September 2010 Venue: MacLean Park About Me: I'm a domestic diva down to the core. I heart cooking, sewing, baking, decorating and making sure we have a hand-crafted home. The best part about the wedding is I get to incorporate it all! I make sure I put my art degree to good use by screen printing, craft knife cutting, and a whole lotta graphic design. We're having a big-time party on a small-time budget, and I promise to show you a boot-scootin', barbecue-eatin', finger-lickin' good time! Mr. Sand Dollar and I spend most of our time on DIY projects or traipsing around the outdoors with our two pooches Rory and Juno. I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with all of you!

I finally finished printing and cutting all our invites and RSVPs. I decided to just go with the home printer route instead of screen printing everything. I just got a little burnt out on that process.

They really look good too—everything is crisp and clear. I’ve realized that they’ll still be incredibly handmade and DIY even though I didn’t slave for hours over a press. I still printed them (and the RSVPs are even 2-sided!), cut them by hand, and am currently in the process of sewing each invitation to the backer paper. So yeah, it’s still been very time-intensive! I’m really happy with the way they’re turning out. I’ve gotten about 30 done, so I’m off to work on the remaining 70…

These look amazing!

Would you be willing to post some tips/tricks somewhere for any other brides brave enough to go this route on her own?

also, can you share any details on how much this ends up costing?

thanks!

love,
a super stressed about the budget bride :)
