Finally, after working on our invites for almost 9 months (we sourced our papers around March of this year), our wedding invitations are all done! Wooohooo! It's a major accomplishment for us because it's our biggest and most laborious DIY project. Not only that, we also met our target deadline for their completion. Happiness!
Here's a breakdown for the cost of materials for our invitations.
If we take out the cost of the tools we bought from Lasting Impression, our cost will be slashed by almost 50%. Not bad for a pocketfold invite such as ours. =)
More than the cost though, the greater factor for this project is the manual labor that we had to do. We pulled several overnighters just to make good progress each time. In the end, all our efforts are so worth it. We loved how our invitations turned out and we wouldn't have done it any other way. =)
