Please, Mr Postman

Drumroll, please...

The biggest ever DIY project we (I) have ever undertaken is now in the US Postal Service's hands.  The invites are out! 

Lessons learned:
  • Start as early as possible - it takes way longer than you ever anticipate
  • Get addresses and contacts as soon as you start wedding planning.  It's amazing how long it takes people to respond.
  • Definitely travel for work so that your significant other gets stuck doing all the cutting and gluing and assembly.  :)
  • Don't forget to number the RSVP cards.  If a guest sends back the RSVP card and forgets to put their names, I'll be all set.
  • If you have others helping you (i.e. elderly parents), diligent QC is a must!  We had so many invites that were upside down or backward.
In the end, it was a fun project and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.  Now I wait on pins and needles for responses to start flowing in!!!
