  • Invitation Proofs

    They’re here!!!!!


    I am overly excited about these proofs, and maybe I’m biased (of course I am biased), but I think these look fantastic!


     
    I added in “Together with their families” for a purely aesthetical reason.  My first proof didn’t have anything before my name and it looked a bit….empty.  So I filled it.





    This is the seal that will go on the outside of the pocketfold.  I know usually people put the recipient’s names here, but I’m done being a DIY bride, so the seal will have our names and the date on it.  This way, no one can get confused about the date, especially if they don’t read English very well.



    Finally, the RSVP cards.  I know Miss Daisy wrote about this yesterday and I wanted to put in my two cents about RSVP cards. 


    Yes, some people do assume that they can bring children.
    Yes, some people do assume that they can bring dates.
    Yes, some people do assume that they can bring anyone who is not on the actual invitation.


    So what am I doing about it?


    You see where it says “_____ of _____ will attend”?  I am going to fill in the second ____ with the actual number of people that are invited to the wedding. 


    Is it a bit…..rude?  Probably.  But I think its ruder to bring uninvited guests to a wedding, when you know wedding costs are sky high.  This, at least, will get the point across to those few who seem to think weddings are a free food for the family night.
