For a months, we had been hemming and hawing over invitations. A year ago or so I read about a couple that had a map showing where they met, where they lived, etc. for their wedding invitation. As a nomadic couple who met 1000 miles away from our respective birthplaces, we really loved that idea and wanted to incorporate it somewhere in our wedding stationary.

I found out a c couple weeks ago, Zazzle has a pretty ridiculous post-Christmas sale on invitations and other paper goods. How ridiculous? 75% off ridiculous!

Unfortunately, my computer broke….and the sale was going to end in 8 hours. Worst. Bride. Ever.

My Man of Honor, Jon, and I (read: Jon) went to work and several hours later we submitted our design. There’s a couple of flaws that I honestly don’t think anyone will notice so I won’t bother to mention them. They came into today and they look fine. They’re personal, and we designed them ourselves… without having to source paper or use our printer.

We got 150 cards for under $80 dollars. The cards also came with matching white/cream envelopes, which we didn’t like–so we ordered the purple #10 envelopes in the photo. The envelopes we didn’t use? They’re white envelopes. They’ll be used for normal non-wedding things like rent checks.
