OK, OK – it’s just the envelopes right now…and, alas, they are the most boring part of the invitations. Tomorrow is D-day. The day that all of my lovely bridesmaids have agreed to wear down their manicures and assemble invitations. I’m giddy with anticipation. Half of me excited to see just one item on the ‘to-do’ list come to fruition – the other half simply delighted to see my bridesmaids in one place at the same time.
After many trials and tribulations and 3 trips back and forth to Michaels, I finally found a stamp pad that wasn’t dried out. I’m mildly pleased with the outcome…but again, how excited can you get at the outer envelope?
Linen envelopes via EnvelopeMall. Note to fellow Canadians…the prices were totally unbeatable for a company that ships to the great white North. HOWEVER, duty almost equaled the cost of goods. Add shipping and I probably could have sourced this paper locally.
Stamp – Yikes! Can’t recall where I bought this (although I do remember it was online). I bought this a little over a year ago for $8 (at a time when damask stamps were hard to come by). Now you can find them in every craft store.
Ink – Color Box via Michaels. Highly recommend this ink for stamping. Good quality and consistency. I feel that I’m a bit of an ink expert now, having been to Michaels 3 times after buying ‘dried out’ stamp pads.
Outer envelopes are very excitable. They are the first thing that you see:) Can’t wait to see the invite.

Ooops – bad me. You’re totally right, Heather. The envelopes set the tone for what’s within. However, in my case, I’m really so much more excited by what’s inside my envelopes 😉
Stay tuned…
