As I was working out our budget with Mr. Ticket I put down a very measly amount for invitations, one day while I was at Michael's I even bought a pack of really nice looking ivory and orange invitations for about $5 (after coupon) I figured that even though I wasn't in LOVE with them the price was just too good I couldn't NOT use them.
Exhibit A: Perfectly nice invitations that even come with lined envelopes and ribbons!
As time passed by the little voice in my head reminding me that these were just simple pieces of paper being sent out, they weren't food or drinks or entertainment in any way got TOTALLY drowned out by Bride Brain that was screaming we needed to have nicer invitations. I'll give you two guesses at who won that battle and I'm sure you'll guess correctly the first time. That's right ladies... Bride Brain won.
Knowing that I was dissatisfied with the invitations I had purchased I started looking for reasons they wouldn't work. My printer for instance didn't have a function for printing specialty sized paper, (which of course the invitations were) but really that is what I get for buying a $30 printer. With this excuse in hand I went on a mission to find new invitation options. Daddy Ticket VERY generously offered to pay for us to have our invitations done professionally (via WeddingPaperDivas, David's Bridal, or some other equivalent) and so I started searching the web. I found many beautiful options but none of them were perfect (Bride Brain is a *itch).
After seeing Mrs. Panther's invitation suite I was COMPLETELY smitten. They were without doubt the most beautiful invitations I had ever seen.
Did you ever change your mind later about which wedding details were important to you after all? Have you gotten yourself into a project that you feel is WAY over your head?
