Invitations

Now that all our invitations are out, I can finally share them with you. I explained my feelings on the invitations a while back: I wish I could say I did them myself...but this was one area I just didn't have the energy to tackle. Annette (I heard Your Getting Married) was recommended to me through a friend's sister and she came in and saved the day! We met with her and after looking through a ton of books, finally decided on this suite:

Perfect for our color scheme, simple, yet elegant...it was pretty much the only one that stuck out at me.

The order process took a little longer than I had hoped: place the order, get a proof, correct the proof, resend it, get another proof back, make another change, wait for the final proof. This all took several weeks and I finally was starting to get very panicky that these were never going to be printed! When they finally did come in, Annette worked tirelessly through her weekend to assemble and address all our invitations for us. She was super great about it (and also probably didn't want to hear me badgering her about them anymore!) I am so grateful that she took care of all this for us, and so happy it was a generally stress free project. Here are all the pieces we got back for our invitations:
 
All the inserts
I hope you all like them! It's so crazy to be getting responses back for our WEDDING already!!
