All of a sudden, things feel extremely real. It's like a pre-invitation... People will know we're getting married (ok, they already know, it's not a big secret). It's weird that something like sending out postcards can feel like such a big deal.
Maybe it's all the steps that go into each item. For the STD's, we had to
1. hire a photographer (who included engagement photos in their package)
2. schedule and have an engagement shoot
3. wait for the pictures to arrive on CD (anxiously stalking photographer's blog for pics to show up)
4. design and order the STD
5. wait for the STD's to be delivered (anxiously tracking the package from the moment it ships)
6. pester parents for final guest list
7. order new printer because ours won't work on 4x6
8. wait for new printer to be delivered (should be today)
9. print addresses on STD’s (because the FI is against address
stickers… he picks the oddest things to
have serious opinions on)
10. buy stamps and get those things in the mail.
That’s a lot of work and, more importantly, a lot of waiting.
So, without further ado, here is what we’ll be sending out soon
(before the stamp prices go up, hopefully):
The FI did a great job on adding text to the front and I’m
so appreciative of his help (even if he only did it because watching me
struggle with Adobe Photoshop was driving him nuts).
Vistaprint did a great job on the printing and it was an
amazing value – especially since I had bought a $60 for $15 Groupon a couple
months ago just for this use.
I can’t wait for our friends and family to see them!
