The invites were finally completed and sent out on Tuesday....wahooo!!!!!
Mr. Steve and I do not consider ourselves very traditional people. We wanted our invites to not only reflect our modern, urban theme but us in general. In an effort to save money i though i would be a "do it yourself" bide to be. (Although it did save a tremendous about of money, it took a lot of time and labor.)
We found invites we loved but they were letter pressed and not in the budget. We thought they went with our style and theme so we used them as inspiration.
Price Breakdown...We were lucky enough to have one of Steve's groomsman design the graphics, my cousin who is a photographer do the pictures and the printing all for free. Thank you Ben and Jess!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE your invitations. Absolutely love the urban flavor. My fiance and I were both born & raised in Chicago but now we live in a very suburban part of Minneapolis. We moved here for his job but he always talks about how he misses his urban roots and wants to move back some day. I have been showing him pictures of elegant floral invitations lately and he has been a mute on the entire subject until I showed this post to him. He said, "SEE! THAT'S SICK! THAT'S HOW I WANT OUR INVITATIONS!!! THAT BOOMBOX IS DOPE." haha. You guys have a big fan now. :)
