Hot off the press!

As I go through the wedding planning process, it's exciting to see things slowly come together. It's more exciting to see Cash get into the planning too. I like to tease him and say he should be the bride.

Before this weekend I never realized the effort, precision and detail that need to go into making your own wedding invitations - especially if you want high quality ones. It's funny how couples can place so much time and emphasis on literally pieces of paper. I think for Cash and I it was different. We enjoyed making them so much and really wanted to incorporate a personal expression to our wedding. Fortunately, we're able to do that because it's smaller in size.

Though we spent long hours working in our invitation workshop, it was more fun and rewarding than I thought it would be. When we calculated the hours we put into our project, each individual invitation received over one hour's worth of attention! In the process I met more old ladies from being in craft stores than I have my whole life. And let me tell ya, it makes those grandmas' day when you ask them questions. I mean who doesn't get excited when you're talking about the latest in glue gun technology?

We had a blast putting them together but Cash is the one who deserves most of the recognition. Thankfully, I have a fiance who has both the talent to create a picture in his mind of what he wants his creation to look like and the ability to carry it out beautifully.



Careful design and preparation...
