The shower invites are in!
I'm excited because now I can send out my wedding invitations too! My soon-to-be mom in-law is asking her mom and aunt to address the invites; and she thought the shower ones needed to go out first. So once those are addressed, the wedding invites will be up next! So I hope to have them out by the end of the month. (You never want to rush your soon-to-be grandma and great aunt.)
I have to say Sam's mom did good on picking these invites. I really do like these a lot; especially when you compare them to what she originally got for the shower.
Ok before you think I'm just being mean- I'm all about DIY projects; HOWEVER my wedding colors are purple, black, and silver - not pink. After seeing a wedding almost every weekend for 8 years, I have grown to hate pink. If I ever have a girl, I'm going to keep the pink to a minimum.
The reason why Sam's mom even ordered the new invites is because she was having a lot of issues getting the invitations to print correctly on the house printer. I've seen this type of invitation before, and they work best if you print on clear labels and stick the labels on the invite. I told his mom this but she had already went ahead and order the purple ones. Oh well. :)
I do feel bad because she spent money on two sets of invitations. She even got "Thank You" notes to match the pink invites. (If anyone wants some pink wedding shower invites and thank you note- let me know. I bet I can get you a great deal!) However, I think she had a good old time at the "Wilton Tent Sale" where she found them at. Look at all the goodies she got for the wedding!
She picked up the flower girl basket, the aisle runner, and a 100 little tubs of bubbles! Plus some other small things, the pink invites & thank you notes, and rose pedals (?- those won't get used either) Thanks to his mom there are a few more things I can check off my list!
Question: How soon do you think you need to send out wedding/ show invitations? (I maybe on the late side but I pretty sure everyone who I want to come already knows the date.)
I definitely like the second set of invites MUCH better!! Yay now you can do your finishing touches and get yours out! I hope to address all of our Save the dates this weekend!!
