The Gift of Marriage

Praise the Lord!

So sorry I haven't posted in a while...with learning of pregnancy #7 (but this will be baby #8!) and working on my aunt's wedding invites, I've been pretty busy along with taking care of my family....

Well, here are some pictures of the invitation so far...



The first picture features the original design of the invitation, until we found out it would cost about $2 each to mail...wow, multiply that by 150 and that's a hefty sum of money beside the other wedding costs....Anyhow, the second picture is the reworked design for the invitation.

This is the final version with the pleated silver ribbon overlaying the plum organza ribbon allowed the gatefold cardstock to close easier. Sorry the picture is a little blurry.

My aunt says that her guests have been calling her to tell her they've never seen anything like this before and how beautiful they are...It's always great to know that whoever I do a project for, that they are more than satisfied...they know they've received something especially handmade for them!

Although I used the computer for the invitation wording and the monogram featured on the outside, everything was assembled by hand and the envelopes were hand addressed in calligraphy by me...
May God bless you as you cherish the loved ones He has blessed you with.

Love and prayers,

Angenise
