Have you thought about "Engagement" invites yet? Tomorrow I'm going to look into the cost of renting a tent, table, and chairs. There's a place here in Crystal Lake that people use.
Do you like the idea of a fold up poster style similar to our wedding invite but a completely different design? I was thinking of a painting in goache and scanning and printing it at that sign express place I did ours at. Also my dad might be able to lend a tent. I'll ask him if it makes sense if you want.
Okay. You were thinking of that for the actual wedding invite though right? I just was gonna work on the engagement party one for now if you want. Also are you going to do save the dates? Plan on spending a lot on postage in the next year...
Yeah, the map theme is what I was thinking about for the invites to the reception.
I was going to hand out save-the-dates at the engagement party, and then mail them to the guests that can't attend the party, I guess. But really, I'd like to get the invites themselves out pretty soon, so I don't know if it would make sense to send a save-the-date and then an invite pretty much right after that.
I feel like if you're having an engagement party you don't need the save the date if you don't want. You already have told people a date and if they don't know they'll find out at the party. Then you can just send the reception invites early.
I'm ok with doing informal invites, but Alice said she has as idea for a design.

ReplyDeleteYeah I do like the way yours were folded up!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally open to any designs, but I think a map-themed one would be cool. Or something with the outlines of Illinois + North Carolina.
