The Invitations

We have finally started working on our invitations! 173 days to go and real, tangible wedding things are starting to happen!

We bought our invitations IONS ago. We found them randomly chilling in a clearance aisle at a Michael's craft store. This aisle had dozens of boxes of random invitations and other miscellaneous items that were so thrown about it looked like a tornado had blown it's way through.  We spent at least half an hour digging through the piles, hoping to find enough boxes that matched in a design that we liked for our invitations. Luckily for us, we were able to scrape enough of them together! We walked out of the store with all of our invitations for $45. The only thing left would be to print our information on them.


Special shout out to my office, the Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA). While cleaning out basement storage, I found an old printer that had been sitting there for who knows how long (and not even sure if it actually worked). I asked if I could borrow the printer for our invitations, and they were generous enough to allow me to do so. With some tinkering and searching for the right number ink cartridge, Emily and I were able to get the printer to work! We settled on final layout and wording for our invitations and we are all ready to get them printed.
