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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.primandpixie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prim and Pixie<\/a> on the graphics, wording, and execution (from the pocketfolder to the belly band). And then Rob and I gave them just a bit more &#8220;oomph&#8221; by adding tags for the guests&#8217; names and wrapping everything in a handy dandy mailer box.<\/p>\n<p>PICS! Click for bigger.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/invitations_boxes.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_invitations_boxes.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some of the boxes wrapped, labeled, and waiting to be mailed out. If you look closely, you&#8217;ll see that we used Disney and Marvel Superhero stamps! We also had some Star Wars stamps but I don&#8217;t have any pictures of those boxes. I love little details like this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/invitations_open.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_invitations_open.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The open box. Instead of writing our guests&#8217; 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&#8217;s the best.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/invitations_pocketfold.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_invitations_pocketfold.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pocketfolder held closed by a personalized belly band. What you can&#8217;t see in these pics is that all the paper has a metallic sheen to it. So sparkly and pretty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/invitations_pocketfoldopen.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/tn_invitations_pocketfoldopen.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And finally, the invitation and inserts. I love how everything has its place. SQUEE. The whole package makes me so happy.<br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>I hope our guests enjoyed receiving them as much as we had fun putting them together. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh Lakers.
