more paper.
They are finished and off to all 75 invitees.
You may be thinking... "75 invitations to a shower? Isn't that kind of a lot?" I was thinking that too when I made them, so simplicity was my goal. I picked up a Paper Pail Stationary Set from Target and used the notecards as my invitation backing to avoid cutting. I switched up the envelope color based on the invitation backing for a little variety.
I realize envelope liners aren't really a necessity, but they make the invites seem much more special and give the envelopes a nice weight (they were pretty flimsy on their own).
Plus, they just sort of look pretty.
One big task off my plate! I've been doing a little bit of sewing to celebrate. I feel like I've been writing a lot of non-sewing related posts lately, is that okay with all of you? Do you like a little variety? Sewing pictures will come soon, I promise :)

ReplyDeleteI like 'em.
Those invites are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the variety.
You lined 75 envelopes? Holy moley! They look great, but tons of work! I hope the bride appreciates all you are doing ;)
ReplyDeleteThose look so professional! I never would have guessed they were from Target :) Adding the liner and switching up the envelopes with each invitation made them so fancy! Nice job :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you though- 75 invitees for a shower? I wouldn't want to be that bride and have to write all those thank you notes afterwards!
