Invitation Assembly Time!

Invitation Assembly Time!

We’ve reached that point in our wedding planning timeline that I’ve been anticipating and fearing, the time that so many brides before me have cursed and reconsidered. It’s that time when a lot of hard work pays off quickly when it’s seen by 200 guests. It’s time to begin assembling our invitations! I won’t have the actual completed, printed invite in my hands until next week, but I need to start addressing envelopes and coming up with a game plan.

So I went shopping:

Invitation Assembly Time! : wedding invitations philadelphia stationery 15.jpg

125 each of 4-Bar reply card envelopes in “fossil”, A7 invitation envelopes in “olive”, and belly belts in “lemon drop”. I picked up a glue stick, brown and white gel pens, brown and white ink pads, and a heart-shaped-hole puncher all from Paper Presentation.

You may have also noticed yellow Divine Twine, purchased after reading Miss Lobster’s post, and the alphabet roller rubber stamp from Etsy that I picked up after reading Miss Stripes’ post. Yes, I bow down to the inspirational powers of fellow bee bloggers! Thank you ladies!

I have the tools, now let’s see if I can build something with them…

Are you apprehensive or anxious about invitation assembly? Or are you happy to dig in?

Doing that this weekend! Although I’m just basically putting the invitation, RSVP card & envelope, and directions card in the envelope and sending it away, nothing fancy. Although I’m thinking of ordering cute stamps off Zazzle!

I picked up mine from the printer yesterday, and will probably start assembling them tonight. I’m excited, but I really hope I don’t screw them up!

As a fellow October bride, when are you planning on dropping them in the mail? Around the two month mark, or at some other point?
