Feb 26th: Paper Invitations

Don't look at me like that. Wedding invitations are art! Especially if you make them yourself. Which I am! They're also time consuming which is why I don't really have any real art to post at the moment. So I'm busy, give me a break! I printed out the script (because God knows my handwriting isn't nearly that good) and hand-cut all the paper. The clear stuff on top and the purple below... and that took almost two hours. Thanks to one of my bridesmaids, I have some pretty awesome silver ink that I'm using to stamp a tree in the middle. The tree, admittedly, has nothing to do with our wedding or the theme. I just think it's cool looking. Hmm, guess you can't really see it so well in this picture, but you'll just have to trust me.

Luckily, when you get married you have a dozen friends who are not only willing to help you with such projects but actually get offended when you do anything without them. Anything. So although I've gone the cheapskate route and made my own invites, at least I'll have some help assembling them. It's art, I swear. It counts!
