Mom and I worked hard to get these invitations ready to go in the mail. I spent the whole weekend at her house. Joe is out of town for a show so we had plenty of time. There were several trips to Archivers and I had to leave her with some extra work in the end, but they're looking so good. Better than I could have expected. We ended up finding some great stamps at the store that we decided to use instead of the ones we had bought previously.
The coolest thing was the pair of tweezers Mom got out for me to use when putting the rhinestones on the invitations. They actually have a built in light in them so I can really see what I'm doing. Fabulous!
We proofed our text, printed each page, stamped the invitation, adhered the paper, added rhinestones, stamped the reply envelopes, stuffed the envelopes, wrote out tags, poked holes, cut ribbon and tied tags onto bows.
We printed pictures for the tables today too. Each guest will get a place card that assigns them to a movie star's table. We wanted to do something that went with our vintage Hollywood theme so Joe and I came up with a list of our favorite actors, from Ava Gardner to Humphrey Bogart. We tried to keep it in the 1940's and I'm really happy with how they came out. For instance, my Aunt Marie will get a place card that says she's seated at the Clark Gable Table...
