Wedding Invitations!? KISS THIS!

Okay so ya'll know I got engaged circa April, and while my thoughts 'meander' on this topic OFTEN (aka nonstop), I try not to bore ya'll with my opinions and decisions.

You might say "Why avoid this? you bore us with all kinds of other crapola why hold back now,, really?"

Well to that I say,, "Well cause brides to be and brides past are NUTS! So when I share my opinions and they differ from yours ya'll get defensive and hurt and I'm so not into making people feel bad". That's not my jam. YO....


So lets start by saying that there are MANY MANY (think COPIOUS!) amounts of decisions that I could freaking care less about,, and as time goes by, those stupid decisions somehow become cataclysmic and monumental in a EFFED up way.

Segue,, Invitations..

something that up to a month ago I said 'I don't care what they look like so long as people can read them and get here if they can'.

SIGH.

So we began to research invitations, and we had lots of internet searches and suggestions and ideas and we mostly wanted to not pay a ton cause we need our monies for better stuff (read: more peeps and feeding them!!) HOLY MOLY paper is expensive and its complicated and involved. So I'm gonna show you some pics (cause you know I like to do that).


At first I was like 'this is complicated!, then I was like 'but everything is in one place so people don't lose all the info and then call me the day of to ask me what time they were supposed to show up'... (who thinks like that!)



See this is simple and sweet, but once you start opening and investigating you (read: me) get NUTS and get all 'that's too normal or simple, and I'm not normal or simple'... AS IF this invite in some IMPOSSIBLE way reflects upon you AT ALL.. that after opening it up they'll ever look twice (however btw now that I know how much thought is going into this I will take many many looks at the rest of them that come our way!).



Um I'm sorry but that is too much ribbon, its only going to get tangled and its making it hard to read.


Final picture folks,, GET EXCITED...(not that this is mine but still)


HOLY MOLY there is no way any male had any input on this one, that is freaking girly and emasculating and horrible. (sorry whomever used this) its too much!.. TOO MUCH..

Alright so I'm not going to show you our invites a) probably ever cause I'd be lying if I said that I'd post them later because b)I'll probably forget.

BUT! I will tell you this,, we went to 5 or more different stores and my opinions from above developed upon these searches and waxed and waned and got more and more cranky and moody. We are SUPER blessed to have family friends that will help us formulate and print the invites, so we were on the hunt for blanks that had all the pieces we needed but had the right 'vibe' for us.

We were amazingly AMAZINGLY lucky to find the right thing, in the right color, with all the right pieces. IN CLEARANCE with enough boxes to make tons of mistakes along the way (expected). So we got ALL the pieces we needed for a little over the prices of one box of the others that we minimally liked.

I was giggling and bouncing with excitement all weekend! We got a deal but better than that , it was EXACTLY what we'd been looking for all along, classy, but fun and in the right colors and sleek :)
