My fall invites- pictures!

[charbie]

i thought i''d show you my invites that went out this week. got my first RSVP back today!

Here is the main invitation:

 

[charbie]

RSVP- note the "King and Queen of Hearts" stamps- loved them and they matched!
The envelopes were printed with my name and address.

 

[charbie]

Insert card- one of the sides.

 

[charbie]

Custom photo stamps of our dogs i love this picture!!!

 

[charbie]

In order to save money on the envelopes, I had this stamp made on finestationary.com. $40 and we can use it forever! Its perfect as a return address, and I put it on the back of the outer evelope. Saved me about $300.

Love ''em!

 

[charbie]

OH and here''s my centerpiece sample. I''ve had it almost a week and it still looks brand-new. So now I have no clue what I''ll do with them since I have to give the cubes back but will have lots of stuff!

 

[charbie]

Ok, last one. It''s just my dogs. They are my babies, and it took me 3 different "photo shoots" to get the pictures. I finally figured out to take them outside, in daylight, turn off the flash. I took their favorite toy, yelled at them to "get back here right now!!!!!!" about 50 billion times. Finally would get them into place, and Charlie, my ADD lab, would see a bug and be on his way again.

these are so pretty! i love your colors!!

thank you! the bouquets will be spider mums like these- only they will be green and have cymbidian orchids that are orange pinned in. then the MOH''s will have spider mums that are orange with green orchids. mine is a combo of both and hydrangas and who knows what else- all i know is he promised it will look beautiful and a combo of both kinds of bouquets. oh and BM''s dresses are all the burgundy wine color.

Ohhh I love the invites and the stamp is a fabulous idea! I totally can appreciate how difficult it is to take a good picture of one dog, forget two! And I cannot wait to see those flowers, they sound gorgeous! Nice progress!

Your invitations have a very "Fall" feel....Love them!

Also, your pups are just adorable. I love it when dogs look like they are smiling!

P.S. I saw that your reception will be in the Columbus Athenaeum. I went to OSU and am pretty familiar with the area! It will be beautiful in the Fall!

Yay! Another Buckeye! Love it! I graduated from OSU as well!

I love the Athenaeum. I walked in and refused to go anywhere else. We are having our wedding in the Oak Room, which is a oak paneled room with pillars and a green and red theme- it fit perfectly.

Whoo Hoo!! GO BUCKS!!!!

I live in Pittsburgh, PA now with DH, but we met at OSU. We have football tickets for the 1st game against Navy and are super excited to go back to Columbus....I miss living there so much!

I don''t remember ever walking through the Athenaeum, but the colors sound like they will fit your wedding perfectly! Congratulations again charbie!
