Invitation work!

After work today, I came home and got to work redesigning my wedding invitations.  My old invites were in the blue/green theme, so obviously, they don't work anymore.  I've also been having trouble finding heavy enough black cardstock.  One of my absolute favorite crafting sites, PaperTrey Ink, sells incredibly heavy and super nice 8.5x11 cardstock, but unfortunately, my invites were designed for 12x12.  I ended up redesigning the invites to fit that paper and ordered 174 sheets this afternoon.  That should be PLENTY, but we'll see when it gets here. =)  I'm hoping to knock out the pocket fold portion of the invites in May when Josh is off at drill for a couple weeks.

I also managed to redesign all the stationary on the computer.  It's officially black and green now. =)

AND Mom and I picked out the wording for the actual invitation.  That was wayyyy more complicated that I thought it would be.  Who knew there were so many options??  We ended up going with something like this:


Mr. and Mrs. Daniel [last name]
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter


Ashley Marie


to


Joshua David [last name]


son of 
Mr. and Mrs. Douglas [last name]


Friday, the twelfth of October
two thousand and twelve
at [time] in the evening


The Chapel at [name]
[name] Golf Course
[location]


Reception to Follow


Obviously, the details (time and date) arn't quite finalized just yet, but it's nice to have them ready to go.

I also changed my mind about the belly bands we were using and am now thinking of using ribbon and a monogram as opposed to the original idea.


I will never plan this far ahead again! LOL!  At least the re-do is super easy since the content is already there.
