Painting the Invitations. pt. 1

Last night Will & I spent at least 4 hours getting our invites together. Most of that time was spent hand painting each of them. Here's the punch line- we're still not finished with the painting. GRooOaaAN.


Heres the skinny:

In the Spring we bought this lovely Martha wedding invite set. This set has kinda set around because we're both procrastinators. However, Like any good putter-offer I have been thanking and plotting about what Im gonna do when we actually make the invites.





Last night I pulled them out and realize that all of my plans for the invitations are failures. I hate this wedding set. Its so boring. Its so Spring wedding. Its so void of character. Its so void of COLOR.

(YES, IM THAT OBSESSIVE OVER COLOR)

So, I huff and I puff and Will says: lets just buy another set. I huff and puff some more cause I havent seen another set I like and I have THIS ONE in front of me and darn it, I really wanna start these invites already!

Eventually, I plop down on the kitchen floor and I paint. and paint. and paint.




These are a few of the fully painted dry invites.



I really get obsessed over the dumbest stuff. The invites arent even close to being done. This is just the outside of them.
