…to a Seal invite teaser session!
Gah! I really want to share our invitations with you right now, but I’d hate to spoil the surprise for our guests. However, since I am asking you all to wait four months for the big reveal…how about a bit of a sneak peek?!
Like Mrs. Lioness and Mrs. Lemon before me, I’ve decided to invite a couple of VIPs. As these are people who likely have lots of invites to swanky soirees rolling in on a daily basis, I thought it best to send out their invitations a few months early 
With any luck, I hear you actually get some pretty cool keepsake responses.
First up: The Obamas!
The Honorable Barack Obama and Mrs. Obama
The White House
Greetings Office, Room 39
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, District of Columbia
20500
It was too early for me to send the invites to our calligrapher to hand address so I just sent these two bad boys through my printer.
Since Mr. Seal and I are Disney nerds, the second invite hiding under there is to Mickey and Minnie at Disneyland. The poor thing got a little smudged when I ran it through the printer and I can’t afford to “waste” another envelope. (Most calligraphers request 10-15% extra envelopes to account for errors, and well, I’ve only got about 9% extra right now. EEK!) Anyhow, it’s readable enough for the postal service, I just couldn’t bring myself to post a photo of the tarnished envelope.
However, if you’d like to send one to your favorite mice, here’s their address:
Mickey and Minnie Mouse
The Walt Disney Company
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank, California
91521
And just for being the amazing hive that you are, here are a couple more preview pics of our invites!
The back flap of our envelopes (sneakily edited to ward off stalkers).
Teaser of the actual invite!
[Etiquette police: I know you’re not technically supposed to indicate "Black Tie" on the invite...but, well, we did.]
I love how nicely our invitation suite came out and cannot wait to share the rest of it with ya! In the meantime, I’ll keep you updated on the status of our VIP responses.
Are you guys inviting any VIPs?
OOOOooooohhhh!! I love the sneak speak! I can’t wait to see them in all their shimmery glory!
Pretty! I invited the Obama’s too (at least 6 weeks ago) but haven’t received anything back yet. Maybe they wait closer to the wedding date?
Oh wow you make me feel very behind we haven’t even assembled out invites and the wedding is in August.
Now I will go home and pester my FH about getting ours done. I’m sure he thanks you immensely.
Ohhh I am so excited to see your invites!!!
And we are totally inviting Mickey and Minnie 
I received a card from the Obamas. I also sent one to Disney World (instead of DL), but the certificate I got back had the wrong wedding date on it ^^;;. Still deciding if I should send another invitation or just let it be lol.
We invited the Obama’s too but haven’t received the reply back yet. Hoping we do though! What a great keepsake to have. Even better if they come to our wedding!
Oh my god, your invites are already done and dusted!? Jeebus, you’re making me feel super behind 
Sheesh!! Ha. They look great, though, S!!
Can’t wait to see more of your invites! We sent out our VIP invites in December, wedding was in April and we got the response from the white house the day before or day of our wedding.
OMG….I can already get a feel of your wedding just from the invites!
Nope, but we stuffed the dress suggestion at the bottom of our invites too. FH is too neurotic that someone will show up in jeans or something (those people are on his side anyway)
Ooo sneak peak and they look beautiful!! And btw, we just got an invite for a wedding where they noted it was a black tie affair and I DID appreciate the notice
Mmm those look so good so far! Can’t wait for the reveal
My invites just went out yesterday and I invited the Obamas too I secretly hope that they’ll be in the Boston area on or around July 9th, do a security sweep, and decide to pop on over to our wedding to say hi! (hmmmmm ya right… I can dream though!)
Great idea/reminder about Mickey and Minnie! I think Disneyworld is my most favoritest place on earth, so maybe I’ll use one of my extras and invite them too
I have heard about sending an invitation to the President and Mickey & Minnie and many people get a reply. I am totally doing this. I’m a HUGE Disney fan.
Wait, am I nuts? If you didn’t indicate that it was black-tie, how would people know that? I never assume a wedding is super swank unless I’m told…. am I super out of the wedding etiquette loop??
It’s the first time I heard of this, love the idea!, I already sent my invites but I have some extras, my wedding is in august so will see.
Yay for inviting Mickey & Minnie! Also, I’m LOVING the sneak peak! Can’t wait to see more
I cant wait to see more! They look fabulous in the sneak peak!
I invited the Obamas too and everyone thinks I am crazy! We are both liberals from Massachusetts and he still said, “Why are you wasting an invitation on them?” My students were not impressed either. OH well! I think it is fun!

Mrs. Seal, San Francisco Age and Occupation: 25, Personal Assistant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Sales and Support Specialist Engagement Date: December 12, 2009 Wedding Date: November 2011 Venue: Sts Peter and Paul Church/The Bently Reserve About Me: I am a goofy, wannabe crafty, well-intentioned Renaissance Woman (OK, perhaps "aimless wanderer" is a more aptly suited term for me, but hopefully you get the point)—basically I dabble in just about everything and pride myself in such. Without warning, I occasionally breakout into soulful improvised songs and interpretive dances and there's just no stopping me! As so many others before me, planning our wedding has unearthed a deep, intense passion for all things bridal and I secretly fear the day it will come to an end. Mr. Seal and I are quite the pair and life with him by my side is extremely rewarding—I am so thankful to have found him. Together we are planning a black-tie San Francisco affair for 250—light on the stuffiness and with lots of extra Seal-y flair.
