Invitation Station - TOOT TOOT!

March 16th, 2011 @ 9:11 am by Mrs. Zebra

Oh hey, you guys wanted to see these…didn’t you? I was hoping to give you a budget breakdown but you see, I’m running a little low on time—and I lost all the receipts when my old email died a miserable death. I’m super proud of these bad Larrys. They took quite a while to conjure up but they were definitely worth it.

I ordered the paper and envelopes from either Paper and More or Paper-Papers. Again, I wish I could give you more information, but wahhhhh! I lost everything. I had good experiences with both websites.

I contacted Etsy seller Natty Michelle to make the map. It was an absolute pleasure working with her and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for an inexpensive but amazing map.

I used Divine Twine to wrap the invitation suite. I purchased two rolls but certainly didn’t need them. There is A LOT of twine on those rolls. Woot for a good deal!

I had printed all the invites in September on my home printer but in December, while putting everything together, I realized the RSVP card was a smidddddddge confusing. Luckily, everyone seemed to understand and enjoy them.

I highly, highly recommend doing a Mad Lib RSVP. We received a lot of the common “Wouldn’t miss it for the world” and “Never go to bed mad” but it’s the people who dug a little deeper that really made our month. Maybe if you’re lucky, I’ll show you the winner of the contest. Oh yes, there was a contest…
