Today was a busy "wedding planning" day for Jeff and myself, but we did get a lot accomplished. We started the day with a meeting with our priest from our Catholic church. After getting through the initial paper work we got to talking and getting to know Father and vice versa. The meeting made our wedding seem even more real, discussing the meaning of marriage and reiterating the fact that its forever. I knew all this before going into our meeting, but it's different when its coming from your priest.
After the meeting we went to order our invitations. This particular meeting was 2 hours of fun! Jeff and I worked on the invitation wording this past week and planned our invite style a couple months ago at By Invitation Only. So doing all that made the process much quicker today! With a couple of changes of our initial order, we got them done and the rough draft should be done this Wednesday! I can't wait to see it and put it all together. But in the mean time here's an inspiration pic of our wedding invites (minus the gatefold):

So yes, we will be doing box invitations!! That's the one thing (besides our photogs) that was a MUST for me! Though Jeff tried to fight it, I won in the end. His argument was about postage, but I assured him that since we don't have many to send, it wouldn't be an issue (I hope)!
This particular invite (pictured) is almost $20 per invite (WOAH- times 85 is WAY OVERBUDGET)! So to cut cost we used By Invitation Only and placed our paper order from Envelopments and the printing will be done in-house, so it's basically custom made for much less! I already have the boxes and the starfish waiting!
The evening ended with shopping online, OldNavy to be exact. I had a coupon that expired today, so why not put it to good use, plus it was free shipping, even better!! I ended up purchasing flip flops for the ladies for the reception, because I know my girls like to get down! Kinda like this concept below, except flip flops in lavender, beige, and white.
