I've been meaning to blog about my wedding invitations for quite sometime now, and now that we've officially mailed them out I thought it would be the perfect time!
We ordered them custom made from a stationary artist. If you are in the OC area, her company is called Invitation Design Studio. It is the cutest, mother -daughter owned, little boutique for all things stationary. Mostly catering to weddings of course. I highly recommend her if you have it in your budget to do so, as they are pretty pricy.
Keep in mind that upon the invitation cost, we had to put 96 cent postage on EACH outside envelope PLUS the additional 48 cent return stamp for our RSVP postcards. (We didn't realize this until after the fact of course) . So a little helpful hint to all you future brides out there!
I chose a pearly Tiffany Blue and a Pearly Coral color (As these are my wedding colors). We had our first meeting and I had somewhat of an idea of what I wanted and had visioned. I wanted to incorporate lace as well, because we incorporate it throughout our wedding. And if you didn't already know, I love to color coordinate EVERYTHING. (& It ties in perfectly to our theme: Elegant + Romantic and of course BLING--I'm a bling girl ya know.)

Open, and the inside:
And of course, the Deets:
We had pearly white RSVPs, detail cards, and Envelopes.
Probably my most favorite pearly paper ever.
Can I just write on pearly paper always?
I feel so relieved to have finally sent my invitations out, and it has been really fun to get them back. I check the mail EVERYDAY and get excited when new ones come in!

Everything is coming together so beautifully. I cannot wait to show you my garter, flower girl basket, guestbook, and so much more! Less than 2 months-- only 58 more days. That number keeps shrinking big time. Remember my Bridal shower was 98 days away??? eeep!
I really only have a few more things to cross off my To-Do list now:
(View the 100 day countdown list here)
✔DJ Appointment (Last week)
❑ Plan the Rehearsal Dinner (In progress)
❑ Finish Bridesmaid/Groomsman/Flower Girl/Ring Bearer Gifts (bridesmaids are done, groomsman done)
❑ Get all the girls dresses back to steam
❑ Make Seating Chart
❑ Send in Guest count (5 days before wedding)
❑ Meet with officiant to go over final details (This Sunday!)
❑ Final coordinator meeting (June)
I'll update the DIY Cardbox I made, My DIY Cakestand, and more little details soon!
