What?? No pictures??

The wedding invitations are made!

Kristi designed her wedding invitations using ideas from different ones we've received and the unending options detailed in magazines. While the initial motivation may have been $$$ . . . the reward and "savings" has been memories of she, Julie and others designing, making changes and then committing to the final project.

Friday and Saturday evening a few friends and family gathered to assemble 225 invites. Thanks Mary, Lisa, Alyssa, Sharon and Carmen for using your gifts and sharing your love with us.

My only regret is that the camera, which was intentionally set out to capture a few moments, was never used. (I think that was my (dad) job). So we have no pictures to tell the stories of assembling and give a preview of the invitations. However, we have in our hearts and minds the joy of working together along with the pleasure of the completed project. As I watched, and I was truly an outsider to this project (for good reason), the love, joy and friendship these women shared was a great encouragement.

Now it is on to labels, addressing and postage! :-)

PS: we do have an official photographer for June 12. :-)
