Sent: Our wedding invitations

If you're coming to this site/blog/whatever for the first time, it's probably because you just received our wedding invitation.

So, hi, gang!

Anyway, we sent out our invitations almost exactly six weeks before the blessed event (and according to the experts, they're supposed to go out six to eight weeks before), but we'd planned on doing it a few weeks earlier. But it didn't occur to us how insanely difficult it might be to a) make your own invititations and b) make your own high-concept invitations. You will notice that the invitations are one piece of paper perforated into three. The perforation turned out to be the hard part. Who knew? Considering the over-abundance of perforated response cards in the modern life, you'd think it would be easy to make one of your own. But nooooo. Kinko's cannot perforate half-pages--they either bisect or they don't -sect at all. The first perforator I bought was a piece of crap. It didn't make straight lines. Then I went back and got a bigger, better perforator, and everything was good with the world. But then we had to fold, add stickers, address the thingamajobs, and stick on the stamps.

Um...wait...this may be boring. When I told a client of mine about the so-called "invitation fiasco," he responded, "I am curious to hear about the wedding invitation fiasco, but not curious enough to ask."

Well, no one asked. But now you know. Ha.

Why didn't you post pictures of your high-concept invites? I'd love to see. I am an invitations freak - I want something unique and stylish for my own wedding. Please post pics of yours!!! I am probably not going to do invites myself. Too busy with work. Since I am more into unusual designs that others don't have, I'm thinking of getting unique scroll wedding invitations by MajesticInvites.com
