How many days left??

We're in the double digits for the countdown of the wedding. I cannot believe it! How did this happen and where did the time just go??

We've got so much to do, so much to think about. I don't even know where to start.

Right now, we're focusing on getting our invites out. When we started this venture, we wanted to get really beautiful invites...you know what they say -invitations are a glimpse as to what your wedding will be like. Yeah, no pressure right? Initially I wanted letter press invites, then upon calculating the number of invitations we needed, that idea was nixed (I still long for beautiful letter press invites -maybe for our house warming?!). Next we wanted to look for a local invitation designer -none of them fell through. We were so disappointed. We had very specific needs as we were inviting different people to different parts of our wedding. Some will be going to our cultural wedding ceremony, others our western vow exchange, and the remainder only the reception...so in conclusion, we decided to make our own. We enlisted the help of our amazingly talented friend Vince! He designed these beautiful invites...and now we're going through the arduous task of assembling.

It took such a long time to get the colors right, the type of envelope, the type of paper, the color and sizes of ribbons used, the monogram cut. But below is a glimpse as to what these invites will look like. Overall, I'm pleased! They're not the letter press I've dreamed of, but they're elegant, simple, clean and classic! Enjoy. I'll be posting pictures of our invitation party this weekend -our great wedding party will be assisting with the assembly of all 300ish invites. Aren't they great?!
