So we’ve spent the weekend tea staining all the invitations. It’s certaintly been a process! I asked Hannah, Luke’s sister to help me with them, and so either next weekend or the weekend after she’s going to help. There’s stack to do and it’s going to take a few weeks to put together.
On Sunday afternoon Mum and I went round to Natasha’s (a friend of ours) to get some more ideas. It’s great how everyone helps with ideas and things, and we have SO many! We got some good ideas for how to keep it shut at the front, and also some ideas for extras!
I was a little bit stressed about the enormity of the invitations, but I think it’s really worth it, and mum is helping heaps with the actual making of them, and with idea bouncing which is really nice. I like making the final decisions though! But I am one of those people who, once I’ve decided on something, like to keep it that way.
Hopefully next week I’ll be able to put together a completed sample one to show Luke’s parents properly as the last time I did I was a little disorganised!
Luke’s job is to work on the second invitations which are for our special guests that we want to share our day with, but can’t invite to the ‘reception’. I’m more then confident in his ability, and even though when he started I was pushing my thoughts and ideas onto him, I’ve decided to step back and let him make it his own!
