And it feels so good!

I have been thinking about/working on/putting together our invites for what seems like years! Piece by piece our DIY invitations have been building up in our guest room closet, until last week when we finally mailed those bad boys out.

We sent them out early in hopes that there is a chance to invite some of the B list after we receive “no” responses (most likely from out of state family members that don’t really travel, and I haven’t seen in over 15 years).

I can’t wait to share the final product, but until then here’s Mr. E dropping them into the hands of the postal service.

How did you feel when you finally dropped your invites in the mail?

YAY! So glad they’re out. We’ll be doing invites a little early too, because I definitely want to try & squeeze in a few more guests if I can!

glad to hear you other bees are sending out early too. Our venue only holds 120 so as the no’s roll in I want to invite more people, just not too last minute, so I will be sending ours out early too!

@Mrs. Starfish: @Miss Oatmeal: Totally how I felt!!

@Mrs. Glasses: Not even gonna lie, I called Mr. E a curse because we had been getting RSVPs everyday and then he checks the mail and nothing!

Get ready to stalk the hell out of your mail! But it really was a relief to just get them out the door, already.

I love the “b list” idea. One question… on the RSVP’s, you usually give a date the guests should reply by. Do you change that for the “b list” guests? Does that mean getting different invitations printed?

@jbz: Yep! Our RSVPs are postcards and I did have a second set printed with a later RSVP date on it. The invitations remained the same though, just the different RSVPs.
