Hi Everyone,
It seems like it''s been forever since I''ve gotten to play on PS! I''ve missed all of you, but I sure have been busy with wedding plans! Every night & weekend has been spent working on wedding invitations, the information letters, RSVP cards, boxes, etc... Who knew this could be so time-consuming???
I am more than thrilled to say that I got almost everything completed last night and got most of them shipped out after work today, and had I not screwed up 3 of them by forgetting either an address, a response card, etc..., I wouldn''t have been able to take pictures for you all, so it worked out all right!
The boxes were bigger than I planned on, but they were only about 20 cents each on ebay, so it worked out fine.
In my gargantuan boxes I included my DIY invitations I made along with a welcome letter with the disclaimer that we understand everyone might not be able to make it to our wedding in Hawaii and to please consider joining us for our wedding reception in August. I forgot to take a picture of the letter, but it''s in the light green envelopes in the picture. If you would like to see it, let me know and I''ll take a picture of it for you. The letter also included our travel agent''s information, our wedding website info (in case they pay NO attention to their STD luggage tag!) along with their online RSVP code for the wedding website if they choose to save a stamp and do it online. I also included 3 wallet-size engagement photos in each welcome letter...I figure I had them, so I may as well use them!
For the fun stuff, I put a lime green Hawaiian shirt floating candle, a "Hawaiian Punch to Go" packet, a parrot straw with a fuschia belly, 2 travel ziploc baggies (meets airport guidelines for carry-on liquids
,) the luggage tags I made along with 2 silk leis that were great as padding in the box. They each cost hardly anything to put together, and each one cost $3.68 to ship via first class mail.
I think that''s it! Looking at them now, they really don''t seem very exciting, but I am so excited to be done with them and have them on their way that I''m not sure I care anymore! We have less than 9 months to go, so time''s awastin'', and we need to get a move on!
Please let me know what you think!
Here''s the box w/a book on it for size reference...they were pretty darn big!
