Paper time!

We made an order for our invitation papers/envelopes last night. It was quite a search for the right paper, and I hope that when it comes in, it'll all piece together nicely. I'm not sure what the final product is going to look like, but it should be enough for our guests to have all the information with a little bit of fun inside.

I did try really hard to find some other options for invitations, but it was so expensive and not in the right colors or right style. I'm not that picky really, but I didn't know red was such a difficult color. If you make it too red, it looks like bright red lipstick, and then it could go more orange or purple or pink. I really wanted the deep red, and it's kind of funny that red the paper we chose is named "Rose Deep." It even sounds romantic. We also bought some beige and silver papers for some accents...I can't give too much away.

The next step is to organize an invitation making party. It's going to take a lot of repetitive work, stamping and glue. I've never really been to one or had to organize one, but I think I will try to make it a little fun with some crazy music, and good food...lots of ventilation.




That's the update for now. By the way, I also wanted to add that I am really proud that Paul posted a blog. He's really shy about writing...he always thinks that he doesn't write well, but he doesn't give himself enough credit. I hope to see more of his work, and some others if I can convince them to contribute. It's always hard for me to read only my voice on this blog, and Paul put a little bit of life with his thoughts and feelings. Thank you! It wouldn't have been complete without you...
