We were finally able to get the invites out. It took me a very long time to get them all together, stuffed, stamped and sealed but they are finished and out the door! It was nice, J took them to the B. Free Franklin Post Office, the the only active post office in the United States that does not fly a United States flag--because there wasn't yet one in 1775. I asked him to take them there because they could be hand stamped with a special Ben Franklin Stamp and not ran through a machine where they stood the chance of getting caught and ripped. Here is what the stamp looks like:
Once all 173 invitations were in the mail I could breath a little easier. Now the fun begins of waiting by the mailbox for the response cards to arrive. We were taking bets on who would be the first one to send theirs back and J's mom was the actual first one but I don't count it since we hand delivered our parent's ahead of time. Tuesday I came home from work to find not 1 but 19 response cards sitting on the table! I was so excited to open them and see the notes from people and all the YESes:) It made me feel even more excited about the wedding:)
Here are two pics of the invitations as promised:)
Everyone gave great feedback about them which made me even more happy and excited. I'm looking forward to seeing what our final number loos like and if i'm going to have to sell my kidney to pay for it. hahaha
