It seems to me that I have been lacking in posts about wedding crafts. This seems a bit odd. There sure are a ton of crafts on my to-do list. I have a house full of craft supplies. I even have a checklist (sadly unchecked) of crafts to get cracking on. One would think that I would be a wedding craft blogging machine with DIY tutorials coming out of my ears!
However, for the last couple of months these things have been neglected due to one craft, the mother of all wedding crafts, that has totally monopolized my craft-brain-bandwidth. Rendering me incapable of thinking about any craft that was not this craft.
Ladies, I am talking about The Invitation! Mr. Aardvark (seriously he was SUPER helpful) and I started back in August by looking online at paper and finally ordering some from Paper Source. Since then it has been slow and not so steady progress, but we are finally, really, actually done. All we have to do is drop them in the mail. (Hopefully before the rates go up on the 22nd.)
We have cut, corner-punched, glued, and folded. We have suffered paper cuts, burns and blisters. We have had mess-ups and re-dos and re-re-dos. But today, I can tell you, it was worth it.
As soon as I can be sure our guests have had a chance to see the invites, I will share the whole process with you. I can't wait!
Are you making your own invites? How long did they take? Is five months too long to work on them?
