This is my last post about my wedding invitations, I promise! I wanted to share with you how we put the whole invitation suite together before we tied it up with a bow and a Moo.

Miss Stripes isn’t kidding when she likens invitation assembly to a hot an heavy one-sided love affair. It’s important to have amazing friends who will help you get out of the mess once you’re in too deep. NY MOH spent several hours with me gluing in the silvery lining:

And cutting 100+ lengths of twine:

Mr. Thimble painstakingly stamped addresses on our reply card envelopes (which looks WAAY better when the info isn’t deleted):

Meanwhile, I worked out my handwriting skillz:

There’s nothing like crisp white gel pen on an olive green envelope to transport a bride from a crazy workspace…

We used belly bands instead of inner envelopes for guests who get a +1, and I had some fun with them, depending on the guest:

Finally, I tied my last twine bow:

And I sent them out into the world:

Phew!! That felt good.

How did you feel when you set your invitations free? (And for those of you in the throes of invite assembly, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s all worth it—promise.)
