to send out invitations, that is!
I’m nervous, to say the least. I’m not sure why I’m nervous. Will we get too many “yes” RSVPs? Will we get too many “no” RSVPs? Will people even RSVP at all!?
Of course, these are crazy thoughts and I’m sure everything will go just fine. I can’t help but be nervous though! We’ve spent SO much time making sure we have the PERFECT invitations (a little vintage, a little modern- like us), saving ALL the money for them (and the stinkin’ postage), and putting them all together…I just want it all to go smoothly!
I think also the fact that this engagement has been so long really is playing a large factor in my nervousness as well. By the end of it all, we’ll have had a 17 month engagement. It’s long (to say the least), and checking off stuff that had to be put off until things got closer is SUCH a big deal to us.
I’m really excited though for everyone to get their invitations already so I can show you all. I know HiLLjO wanted me to post about the stamps we used, and I really want to get into all the little details that went into our invitations. An invitation post will DEFINITELY be coming up next week once I know people have started getting their invitations!

How exciting! Getting RSVP envelopes in the mail is so much fun, and I know what you mean about the nervous feeling, wondering how many people will really be able to come, etc. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Megan says
Yay! I can’t wait to see them! Ours are going out within the next two weeks. I am nervous to send ours out too! I have the same fear about getting too many yes RSVP’s. Congrats on sending them out! And again, I can’t wait to see what they look like!

Very exciting! I’ve still got a while before I should even start thinking about invitations. Heck, I haven’t even sent out Save the Dates yet.
Can’t wait to see yours!!!

Jasmine says
yay! congrats! i know what you mean about the length of the engagement… we had almost 22 months to plan and think about things and by the time the invitations came around i was nervous that everyone was over it! but it was totally untrue. people were as excited when they got the invite as when we got engaged and the long engagement only made it better! the most exciting thing is getting the RSVPs back!!

SUCH a fun part of wedding planning! Just wait till you’re running home to check the mail every day for those RSVPs! There is something so “official” about the whole thing once the invitations have been sent- congratulations!

OMG I can’t even BEGIN to tell you how nervous I am about the invitations, what if I spelt something wrong, what if I addressed the envelope wrong, what if they rsvp with 6 guests instead of the 2 that were really invited, I can’t wait to be DONE with them! So glad you are almost done with that huge task..that much feel soooo good!
