Now that the Sparkler invites are officially on their way to our lovely guests, it’s time to reveal them to you all!

I love our invitations so much I could explode… but they where a PROJECT. Sparks and I spent many nights huddled over our kitchen table assembling, posting, and reprinting until 1AM. The day we dropped them all in the mailbox, I vowed never again to step foot in PaperSource (come on… like that’s gonna happen!) and to always pay someone to address my envelopes in the future (again, probably not gonna happen!). But I am so, SO, happy with the way they turned out! I feel like they represent Sparks and I so well and that they completely match the look and feel we want for our wedding.

I’m going to shut up now and show you the pretty pictures. Without further ado… the Sparkler invites!!!

I totally forgot to put stamps on your invite, Hive! Anyway, don’t worry… the stamps we used are pretty awesome:

You might remember that my all time favorite author is Mr. Mark Twain, and one of my favorite pieces is his Brief Biographical Sketch of George Washington. So when I saw BOTH of these guys at the Post Office, I nearly passed out. I bought a crap load of each of them and went on my merry (dorky) way home. I’m so happy that even the stamps on our invites had some meaning!

Back to the pictures… here’s what our guests will see as they (carefully!) open the envelope:

Ohhhh so cute! Little Sparklers! Now for some close ups of all the ingredients:

And the whole shebang!

I really can’t express to you guys how happy Sparks and I are with these! We’ve gotten so many compliments from our guests and it was definitely worth the extra money we’ve had to save (which was really hard sometimes). If you’re even thinking about working with Rifle Paper Co. DO IT. They were wonderful!

Now Sparks and I come home so excited each day to see who has RSVPed! Did anyone else recently finish their invites? Are you excited to open your mailbox at the end of each day?
