If There's Such A Thing As Love.....



I'm In It!

We got our invitations. Zachary and I spent countless hours in front of the computer perfecting them (well He more than I). The stamp we had custom made online from an image we found. I guess you can say I have a thing for elephants! We used airmail envelopes we got on Amazon (all 12 boxes) to send them out and found "Zombie Parts" at a local craft/knick-knack shop here in Chicago to stuff the envelopes. If you do not know what "Zombie Parts" are I suggest you look them up on Etsy. They take pieces and parts from vintage magazines, newspapers, books, etc. and combine them into a little package of vintage media goodness! Everything an inspiring crafter, bride-to-be, or vintage lover could want!

Invitations:
Printing: $60 using an online website
Invitation itself: Free! With much time and effort spent perfecting them!
Airmail Envelopes: Amazon, about $2.50 a box, Costing $25.50 for 12 boxes and free shipping!
Stamp: Rubber Stamp Champ online website, about $40 for custom stamp and an ink pad
Paper: The stamp paper we used leftover scrapbooking paper you can buy at Joann's for about $3.50 for one package of about 50-60 pieces, various colors
Stuffers: Zombie Parts about $12 for 3 bags

Final total: $141 for 250 invitations, 300 envelopes, Custom Stamp and Ink, Scrapbooking Paper, and Stuffers!

I think we did pretty well for ourselves!
