I've had them printed since last August. Yes, I have a problem ; )
I made/designed them myself, with inspiration from various sources. I very much enjoyed the satisfaction of having done it, making them completely custom for us is just fun!
April rolled around and started steam rolling through the days, which had me saying crap! I need to start addressing the invitations soon!!
I had this brilliant idea to print the names and addresses onto the envelopes along with the little love birds from the invitation off to the side. Unfortunately, that idea was only good in theory. This was the result of said printing....11 ruined envelopes later, I couldn't figure out if it was Word, the printer, user error, or an unfortunate combination of all three!
So, I gave in to the "proper" way of doing things (proper schmoper, this girl is digital...) and hand wrote addresses. I had a custom stamp made for the wedding favors and whatever else I felt like putting it on, but the first go around it was too big for the paper tags that I had already bought. So, the gal who made it gladly made me another smaller one at no extra cost to me (she does awesome work--http://www.jessicalynnoriginal.com/). I now had an extra stamp and decided it was the perfect size to dress up the envelopes a little. I used clear embossing power and a heat gun (craft blow dryer lol) so the ink was raised up and stood out. I love how it turned out, even if it did take a little bit longer....and even if nobody else really cared *lol* ; )
