While I was off for vacation I decided that, no matter what, I would get our wedding invitations ready to go out the first week of January. \u00c2\u00a0Yesterday M and I ran to Kinko’s so we could get our lovely invitations printed and not waste our time. \u00c2\u00a0I was more then a little surprised when the guy behind the counter looked at the invitation, looked at me and said, “it has to be a full sheet of paper.” \u00c2\u00a0Umm, what!?!?!<\/p>\n
After the confusion passed, we headed back to the house to figure out what kind of ink we needed so we could print them ourselves. \u00c2\u00a0When we got home M set the printer up on the table and helped me figure out exactly what I needed to do. \u00c2\u00a0I played around with the color and had almost given up when I finally found a pink that would work. \u00c2\u00a0It was a little lighter then I wanted but the darker ones were either too red or too purple.<\/p>\n
Once I was set on my color I began printing off my invitations and\u00c2\u00a0accommodations\u00c2\u00a0cards. \u00c2\u00a0After I had everything printed out I set up a little station on the coffee table and began to\u00c2\u00a0construct\u00c2\u00a0my invites. \u00c2\u00a0Which basically means I put the invitation in the holder and then put the accommodations card on top of that. \u00c2\u00a0Then I stuffed all the invitations into the nice and pretty handwritten<\/em> envelopes, sealed them and put a sticker on the back.<\/p>\n Determined to get these suckers out TODAY I packed everything up neatly last night so I could do my\u00c2\u00a0usual\u00c2\u00a0run out the door in the morning. \u00c2\u00a0At lunch I decided I would run to the post office and pick up my stamps. \u00c2\u00a0Since the invitations felt pretty light I was sure they would be regular postage. \u00c2\u00a0Yep, I was wrong! \u00c2\u00a0I think there is some wedding conspiracy!<\/p>\n I get up to the window and ask the lady to weigh the invite just to make sure. \u00c2\u00a0Sure enough they are .1 ounce over! \u00c2\u00a0ONE TENTH of an ounce over! \u00c2\u00a0Seriously!?!?!?! \u00c2\u00a0Arggg! \u00c2\u00a0Anyway, the lady figures up the postage I need and rings me up. \u00c2\u00a0Postage alone cost almost as much as the stupid invites and they were CHEAP. \u00c2\u00a0But spending that on postage is stupid!<\/p>\n Needless to say the invitations are out. \u00c2\u00a0People should start receiving them in the next few days.<\/p>\n The new year has really brought a new excitement about the wedding. \u00c2\u00a0Each day that passes gets us one day closer. \u00c2\u00a0Each week is one week closer. \u00c2\u00a0I’m glad the new year brought this excitement because I still have a few more DIY’s I need to finish up.<\/p>\n ~k<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While I was off for vacation I decided that, no matter what, I would get our wedding invitations ready to go out the first week of January. \u00c2\u00a0Yesterday M and I ran to Kinko’s so we could get our lovely invitations printed and not waste our time. \u00c2\u00a0I was more then a little surprised when […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[3],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=721"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1102,"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721\/revisions\/1102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kandm.section30.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
