Yesterday we dropped all the invitations in the mail – so no turning back now!

We made the invitations ourselves in a Fourth-of-July invitation marathon.  Our work station included 3 printers, 1 home-made light box (i.e. a lamp in a trash can with the microwave plate on top), a paper cutter, 4 boxes of blank invitations (we only needed three; the fourth was for mistakes), vellum, custom stamps and some sweat and tears…. no blood.  Ben even “hand cancelled” the invitations at the post office yesterday - meaning he added the postmark by hand to each one so the invitations wouldn’t smudge or jam in a machine.    

All in all I’d say it was worth it to make our own invitations.  It was a lot of time and probably only a small money saver, but it’s really nice to have something that we made ourselves. 

To our friend Jeff Maksym - who took the picture for the invite - Thank You.  I think Ben is planning to post “outtakes” from that shoot soon.
