I know that I talked about all sorts of aspects of the invitations. But now it’s time for the big reveal!

Before we get to that… I will tell you that Mr. Sweets helped me oh-so-very-much! Maybe other misters get into every aspect of planning. But Mr. Sweet Cream really only likes the parts that involve tools, food, and men’s attire…and of course, the honeymoon!

If it wasn’t for him, we would be left without adorable little wooden hearts that I could wood burn our initials into. Boy, I love that boy!

And if I wasn’t for these hearts, how could a girl explain spending hours watching guilty pleasures from the DVR like MTV’s Teen Mom or home improvement shows that make a few tears come out?

Those hearts not only made the invite—but they gave me an excuse for these sorts of things…but enough with the delay…As they say before the “big reveal…”

So here they are, hive!

Want a closer look? After carefully opening (or ripping open) the envelope, guests were treated to a fabric-banded, baker’s twine-tied, heart-adorned package.

After getting off the band, I know that a few tears were dropped from this beyond gorgeous Bob Marley quote.

Then they got the deets:

And then they got to mail it back to “The Soon-To-Be Mr. & Mrs. Sweets.”

I mixed in part Etsy designer with my own design of the quote, map, & packaging and think that it turned out perfect. Especially for the vibe of our laid back, BBQ reception.

Although I couldn’t wait to finish these bad boys… I do admit that I was kind of sad to see them go!

But almost immediately the RSVPs began appearing in my mailbox and I didn’t miss them so much anymore. But I sure do love them!

Did you DIY your invites? Did you buy invites from somewhere and add your own touches just because you couldn’t resist yourself?
