WEDDING INVITATIONS
I am finally getting there with all that needs to be done for the wedding.
The last of the invitations went out yesterday.
There are 201 Adults and 21 children on our list.
Hope the actual acceptances are a few less!!!
Here is what the invitations look like
Click on the photo to make it bigger
The photo is one I took of Ryan putting Amy's engagement ring on last year.It took a lot of trial and error to get the invitaions to what they are.
All sorts of colours were tried out for the written section.
It was so hard to find a colour that showed up on all the different parts of the photo.
Ryan got to pick the colour.
Amy figured he might as well be able to pick something!!

Hi Alison
You're doing well, I wouldn't know where to start, I hope if my Ellie ever gets married she Elopes! Not really it will well be worth the effort.
p.s. loved the Wedding Invitations, the colours are perfect - brilliant idea
hi alison...a lovely wedding invitation...(the photo says it all)..
I CANNOT even think of being able to invite over 200 people...
although in re thinking..I think if Christian ever gets married..with his social network..
MMMMMMM could be very BIG & expensive..hopefully that wont be for many many a year yet..

Hi Alison,
Wow those invitations are just lovely. What a great idea.
I also thought our guest list was big at 100, but wow 200, that makes for one awesome party. How exciting!!!!

I love the invitations, so personal too.
I was measured yesterday for my bridesmaid dress for my friends wedding, was funny when the assistant told me to relax and breathe out!! Natural instinct had my holding my stomach in!!!

Oh Alison,
A wedding, you are so lucky. That photograph that you took is beautiful, your invitations are lovely. There is nothing to me as exciting as planning a wedding. I look forward to that time some day. Enjoy.

the countdown begins!! My first three children did every thing on a time pland and that was so much easier on everyone than Sarah's wedding where we were told NOT to worry about a thing----I did the little girls' dresses is all.
Remember when I was telling you we still had to find a place to host the reception three days before the wedding? HA It turned out so beautitul but was soooo stressful.

Alison, you have done an amazing job of the invitations and all the wedding preparations. Maybe you should think about being a Wedding Planner...LOL.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for perfect weather for you all.
Hugs,
Kerryanne

I love your sharing about the wedding! My first baby girl will marry in August. Isn't it fun and all too fast to be real?
Alison, what beautiful invitations. You did a lovely job.
It will be worth all the effort and the day will be perfect.
Karen

oh my goodness I cannot even imagine what it must be like to organise that this weekend! I love the invitations, what a great idea with the photo
I hope you might get chance to get for a walk, you know if I let that slip everything seems to slip, it's funny how walking by the sea seems to blow the cobwebs away...I really wish I could get up like you in the early hours, I've been thinking of that for a while I just don't actually get up, 5am just seems unnatural to the pom that I am!!! haha!
happy weekend
Sarah

So glad you are doing so well with the wedding plans Alison... the wedding invitations are so beautiful.
Alison, I love the Wedding Invitations. I just had a flash back planning my wedding.
I think picking and sending out invitations were the hardest part for me.
Good Luck,
Stephenie
