Mrs. Mini Martha: Wedding Wednesdays: Invitations

Now that everyone has received their invitations... I will show you what they look like! I love them. I hope they set the tone for our wedding: classy, formal, and conservative. Oh and black and white. I would just love if my guests came in black and white... dreamy!

My soon to be Mother in Law (in 38 days!) and I designed the invitations at the Paper Depot in Minneapolis, MN. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work, and sooo worth it after they were all said and done. My Sweet and I went on a little double date with our friends Evan and Sara (who are also getting married) to the Paper Depot and cut all of the paper needed to assemble the invitations. I bought a heat gun (with a 50%off coupon) to make the monogram embossing. On a day my Sweet and I both had off from work we went over to his parent's house and we formed an assembly line making up all of the invitations. I was so happy to have the help and we saved a lot of money doing it ourselves. Also, I am a control freak so being in control at every step of the process kept me sane!

Pardon the pictures. They were taken with my iPhone and just don't look great. Hmmm maybe I should convince the old fiance I need a nice new camera for my blog. Actually, I am way too frugal for spending that kind of money, so you'll just have to bear with the not so great pics!
