Oh Lakers. You broke Rob’s heart. 🙁 Boo on you.

I sent one of our extra invitations to “Mickey and Minnie Mouse” and look what we got from them! HEE.

I also sent an invitation to the Governor so we’ll see if he sends us anything. 😛

Anyway, RSVPs for the wedding are steadily rolling in so I think it’s time to share my beloved invitations.

As much as I wanted to “DIY” the invitations, I didn’t feel 100% comfortable enough with my Illustrator/PhotoShop skills to take on such a big task. I feel like invitations set the tone for a wedding and I wanted them to be perfect. Without breaking the bank. So I worked with stationery designer Prim and Pixie on the graphics, wording, and execution (from the pocketfolder to the belly band). And then Rob and I gave them just a bit more “oomph” by adding tags for the guests’ names and wrapping everything in a handy dandy mailer box.

PICS! Click for bigger.

Some of the boxes wrapped, labeled, and waiting to be mailed out. If you look closely, you’ll see that we used Disney and Marvel Superhero stamps! We also had some Star Wars stamps but I don’t have any pictures of those boxes. I love little details like this.

The open box. Instead of writing our guests’ names on the envelope, we made little tags instead. Rob was in charge of punching them out and hammering the eyelet into the top. He’s the best.

The pocketfolder held closed by a personalized belly band. What you can’t see in these pics is that all the paper has a metallic sheen to it. So sparkly and pretty.

And finally, the invitation and inserts. I love how everything has its place. SQUEE. The whole package makes me so happy.

I hope our guests enjoyed receiving them as much as we had fun putting them together. 😀
