I started making the invitations this past Sunday, May 31st. A friend of mine made me a card for our engagement dinner and that card turned into the invitation inspiration.
My friend Heather uses the Stampin' Up products, and since she is a demonstrator she gets a 20% discount. Thanks to her generosity, we are making 130 invitations, 130 thank you notes, and we have 260 envelopes, plus all the supplies, for
less than $200! We've changed the brown ribbon to antique lace and slightly changed the blue color and the color of the ink/stamp.

Session #3 was this weekend. We finished the fronts and now we have to print the inside. Here are more pics! I think the invites turned out so adorable! (I know I'm a little partial though) :)
***Update***
I finally finished stuffing envelopes, addressing envelopes, and stamping envelopes late last night (July 30). I'm mailing them today, July 31!!!
