When we last left off, I’d ordered our envelopes, liners and Moo Cards, and card stock, I’d printed out my invitations, RSVP cards and labels, and I was getting ready to assemble the invites.

But before I did that, I had one more thing to take care of: the RSVP cards. Using a UV Black Light pen that I ordered from eBay, I wrote the individual names on the cards. That way, if someone forgot to put their name on their card, I could still identify it without calling everyone on our guest list!

I also handled the extra guest issue (I hope!) with a special line on our RSVP card that says “___ out of ___ are excited to attend.” I wrote in the number of invitees in the second blank space so that our guests will know if they are allowed to bring their kids, a date, their second cousin’s mailman’s hairdresser, etc.

And we were ready to go!

After applying postage to the RSVP postcards, I tied it and the invitation up with pink baker’s twine, and then tied the Moo card to the little package:

I applied the wrap-around labels to the envelopes, and put the twine-wrapped packets inside.

And then, I hit the only true hiccup in the assembly process when the envelopes wouldn’t stick! The glue must’ve been bad, because it didn’t adhere at all. Luckily, I had some glue on hand, so I had to glue them shut.

To cheer me up, Mr. S said that at least I wouldn’t die from toxic glue like Susan, George’s fiancée on Seinfeld:

Thanks, Mr. S!

After we glued the envelopes shut, we placed our King and Queen of Hearts stamps on them, and they were ready to go!
