Save The Date

Although we're still a good 11 months out from the wedding we decided we would go ahead and send out the save the dates. As we know from personal experience calendars to fill up fast so we wanted to make sure we got the date out there to everyone! (Although all of the important people already know the date already). We were lucky enough that Mike's dad was able to custom design our save the date for us and also that two of our great friends (Anna and Dennis) got us our save the dates as an engagement gift (much thanks to them - they both rock!)

We headed off to Staples to find some envelopes and also label stickers. I came to the conclusion that the envelopes were apparently too small for our printer to handle, so label stickers it was. So picture Mike and I in Staples on a Saturday morning (Mike is hungry and wants to get to Dunkin Doughnuts) and I said since the envelope size we needed did not come with a peel off sticker to seal them, they would need to be sealed. Now I wanted to purchase one of those moisture things, which I estimated to be maybe $5, apparently I over estimated turns it out it was only 99 cents! (Mike now says hind sight is 20/20).

So now it came down to assembly time, we had the box of magnets, envelopes, labels and Mike to seal the envelopes. My side of the production went well, I was in charge of well pretty much everything except sealing the envelopes - as we know that was Mike's job. I was reminded of the Seinfeld episode where George & Susan bought the cheap wedding invitations and Susan died from licking the envelopes.

Although I'm told it tasted disgusting at times Mike did manage to seal all the envelopes. So if you should happen to receive one in the mail and you've read this post you will appreciate that Mike sealed that envelope with love for you and he is forever scarred of envelope taste forever - and next time he'll let me purchase the envelope moistener for 99 cents!
