Making Their Way Into The World

Making Their Way Into The World

Can you guess what’s in this box?

Here’s a hint: this is what came next.

Yep, our invitations have officially left the building! And look how excited I am about it! We walked them across the street to the mailbox tonight so that they would go out first thing in the morning. And let me just say that finishing these babies has been such a huge relief. In fact, after we got back home Mr. Ferris Wheel said, “Today is one of those days where I feel like everything might just work out okay.”

I am so anxious to reveal them to the Hive, but I need to give them a few days to get to our recipients so I won’t spoil the surprise that’s been 100+ hours in the making. (For real. Not kidding.) But I promise they’re coming to you soon. And in the meantime, it’s back to work for us. Crossing that three month mark really lit a fire under our a**es and we are cranking our projects left and right. Even though the to-do list seems never-ending, it feels really good to be making progress.

Do you think we’re crazy for spending so much time on our invites? (It’s okay, you can tell me.) And did you have a moment in your planning when things shifted into high gear?

I don’t think you are crazy at all for spending so much time on them! I am sure all of the hard work paid off and I bet they are beautiful. You seem very proud of them!

I don’t think you are crazy at all. I probably spent 4 hours trying to design mine and I currently have a blank white page =)

Good for you taking that long to do them. I’m way too lazy. And did you weigh your invite packets before sending or how did you do postage?

@Roux: Puppies would be incredible! Maybe after the wedding…

@Future Army Wife: We have a postal scale at the house, so I weighed them and then calculated postage online. According to that, they should cost 64 cents to mail. I didn’t double check that with the post office, so I hope it’s right!

@kimbee23: Congrats! Yay for crazy DIY!

@alicia1745: Totally been there. Keep at it - you’ll figure it out!

Maybe a bit crazy, but here in the hive, we always think crazy is good when the end result makes a great picture and/or story! I’m buzzing with anticipation!
