Swamped

I have been swamped by this massive invitation job. You can't tell from the pictures, but these are 6x9 pocket fold invitations. EVERYTHING had at least 5 layers. The outside mailing labels were even 4 layers. The pocket held 6 inserts (this was the sample, so it was missing the breakfast insert which was the smallest). The RSVP's all had to be filled in with the corresponding number of seats. The envelopes (Mailing and RSVP) all included separate lining that needed to be glued in. Of course, crystals on the front monogram. Mind you I print and cut everything myself. Oh and she started out with 145 and it turned to 165 (which meant materials for 20 had to be reordered, printed, etc, etc.).

BUT I just adore these invitations and am very proud of them. I know I didn't charge enough if you broke it down into hourly (I never do); they were a labor of love. And once again, thank God for my Mom and Dad (he even got to help!) and Alice! I couldn't have done it without them.

Now I move on to the programs and menus. I am also the coordinator, so I will be doing the time line and vendor packets here shortly. 





































I had another invitation job for an 18th birthday party that I completed. I didn't get pictures of those, but the Mom just ordered 10, possibly 20, more. I will post those when I get them done!
