Our Wedding Invitations

front/back











































































































































































So while Michael was off touring the USA for two months right before the wedding, I was stuck doing the dirty work of designing and printing the invites. Well, the printing ended up not getting too messy and thankfully I was not alone! Rhain helped me letterpress the invites for a solid eight hours! Thank you Rhain! Which leads me to thank my two roommates too - Kelly and Jersey (the sweet furry four-legged friend above)! They were there to help me spray mount all 115 invites, along with the moral support while i trimmed for a solid 18 hours! It was no small project and i am sure it took a lot of patience.
Just a side note. Designing my invitations may have been the hardest design job I have ever done! You would think that having all the creative freedom to make your own personal design choices would be like a designer's dream! But, it was actually really hard for me! First of all I am a perfectionist and when doing something for myself - it magnified! Then, it was sooo hard taking all the design ideas I had and narrowing them down. I got to the point of liking them all and then hating them all! Now that they are all said and done, I truly think they represent us and were a great introduction for the marriage celebration. I hope that Michael and I look back at these in like 20 years and love them even more then we do now!
