Yipeee! The new invites are here! The new invites are here!
(for comparison, here are the old ones)
This time around, we switched to the Feel Script for our names. Plus, we added a Welcome Party invite, with and all new illustration by the good folks at Oblation (and a cheesy poem by me).
Some people believe that I should have chosen to save money and go with less extravagant invitations this time around. Well, those people can kiss my bottom. Because those people didn't have their dream wedding cancelled at the last minute, for extrememly sad circumstances, nonetheless. Those people didn't spent months planning and researching invitations. And those people clearly don't appreciate the gorgeousness that is handmade paper, custom illustration, and delicious letterpress printing. As far as I am concerned, I have earned these, and Gosh Darnit, I am going to enjoy them!
Now I only have to address them and get them in the mail. The problem is that I am sorely lacking in time. I have been planning some mock (read: traced) calligraphy. But now I am wondering if it might just save my sanity to run them through the printer. Pros: less time and pretty final product in navy Feel Script goodness. Cons: I have always believed invitations should be hand-addressed (and so does my Grandmother). What do you all think?

It looks like I am going to need to do some reading of your back logs, because it sounds like you have an interesting story. The invitations are so whimsical and beautiful. As long as you can afford it, who cares what everyone else thinks about what you should do?
these came out so beautiful! and kudos to you for sticking with your gorgeous invite plan. nothing beats letterpress. they are stunning, and i adore the illustrations. i'm sorta sad not to see them in person. but, your guests are going to LOVE them.
