Wedding Invitations

[squeak104]

I'm getting married in the near future and of course we're looking at invitations. We're looking for ones with a reasonable price but still look nice. Its not that we haven't found any we like but nothing that strikes us as the ones.

We kind of like ones like these:

Wedding Invitations - Happy Together Wedding Invitations - The American Wedding

Wedding Invitations - Sheer Class Wedding Invitations - The American Wedding

Ones that have the transparent cover. Something of that nature anyway. Anyone have any ideas of places? Any help would be appreciated.

How about getting a photographer to take pictures of you and her and fading you on one side and her on the other with the lettering in the middle like your looking at each other.With a design surrounding each of you.Almost like a pin stripe but swirled around each of you.Maybe a rose or something fading behind a designed writing.With a trans parent cover like the one's you guys like.Just a thought.Its not as simple as a traditional wedding invitation.But it would be unique and something no ones seen before.I edit pictures all the time so i kind of deal with making photo's for couples and family's all the time and everyone looks to be different so just thought id share.Its just the difference if you want to buy them or make them your own design.Good luck finding the one you want and congrats.

Those are really nice. My wife and I bought a kit from Target that was compatible with our printer. It came with everything, RSVP cards, envelopes, return envelopes, blank invitations the whole 9. We were on a budget though but, they turned out great.

Oh crap. I recognize this, I've been here before. Luckily I was able to prevent my own disease from spreading.

Clint, wedding invitations spinning through your mind are the first sign of the disease, please do yourself a favor and verify that your testicles are still attached. If indeed they are, it may not be too late to save them. You must act fast, I nearly didn't make it myself.

Begin these precautionary steps immediately:
1) Go to the nearest stripclub. Buy a lap dance.
2) Chug a beer and crush the can on your forehead.
3) Punch something. Hard.
4) Urinate; try to remain standing. Fight the urge to squat and wipe. And leave the seat up.
5) Go home and watch anything starring Chuck Norris.
6) Do not shave until you can verify that you are still capable of someday looking like Grizzly Adams.

I'm just looking out for you, I don't want to see a thread next week started by you entitled "Just finished planting my fiance's new flower garden, what do you think?" or "do these jeans make my butt look big?".

Guard your jewels with every ounce of your strength, this storm will pass. If you can make it past the first 6 months without losing your manhood, marriage is pretty swell, otherwise you'll be living in hell and your wife will keep your nuts, and your dignity, in a locked box under her mattress.

No offense, but if my wife would've left me in charge of invitations we would've had something created on Microsoft Word and printed off in black and white from the Lexmark at my work. "Sorry babe, I decided to spend the money for the invitations on a new set of cams..."

nice. They're still there I'm just not in possession of the title of ownership.

Eh I'm just helping where I can and she sometimes values my opinion so I voice it when possible. I'm not paying much on the wedding so I'm not gonna complain too much when I have to do something.

I appreciate the help thus far. On a side note I don't think we're gonna go for the do it yourself kinds of invitations. We are a bit behind on planning so as much we can do without having to do it the better. Getting married in the beginning of June, graduating college in May, moving 10 hours away shortly after graduation, both of us working full time and going to school full time leaves little time for things. Hence the reason my car has been a large paper weight for the past 6 months.

I know what you mean. We set a date back in June for September. That was a short time frame. 3 months flew by. Before I knew it, I was at my bachelor party in Vegas and getting married 12 hours later.
On another note, congratulations on your engagement!

Uh yea... really I'm sure Clint has things better than most guys. After all I don't "allow" him to do anything... he's spoiled and he knows it. We have, oh I don't know... 4 DSM's, 3 more than most guys could even dream of having. I do my best to keep his dreams alive... he's the one under the impression that life ends on the wedding day. Nobody keeps the women in my family from making their dreams, and their husband's dreams come true. As for the invitations... he seems to have left me in charge of everything so thats his task... he has good taste and i trust him. Thanks for any help guys, we're really in the crunch now so wish us luck. Happy Holidays too... drive safe, oh and stay away from Wally World, I hear they're racking up bodies after Black Friday.

First off, Clint, -she's a keeper. Any girl that's cool with you working on your car is A-O-K in my book. Her membership here is a big plus. My wife and I fight about my hobbies too much.

97gstkat:
I meant no offense, but when I see a guy doing something generally considered as anti-manly, I can't help but think there's a strong-willed woman somewhere having a chuckle (or more) at his expense.

I don't really have a problem with it, I laugh too, like for instance; especially when I see the burly biker at the checkout with a tampax box under his arm. Or the poor sap standing outside the fitting rooms holding no less than 6 loaded shopping bags, a toddler, baby bag and two purses.

There's a term for it which I won't type, but it involves a feline and Indiana Jones's favorite accessory. Just wanted to make sure Clint wasn't.
And you just cleared him with your post.

I know right... that's where the real loss of good men happens. Not like I'm any less psycho than the rest of the women in the world but I am way cooler. After all i do drive an AWD TSI. Ding Ding Ding.

You take the words out of my mouth brotha'. His post in the next issue of "days of my testicles" will include the ad "for sale 2g gsx, cheap. Wifey wont allow it or pregnant wifey wont allow it" geez, the guy is finally getting out of school and just about to enjoy true freedom for the first time in his life and BAM g/f cant allow it for one second (he might discover some fun and want to keep it). Wow, I cant imagine picking out invitations in front of my buddies...idk.

Wow, its worse than I thought...poor guy cant even have a male hobby by himself without the ol' lady spying, and he's not even stuck with her yet! Give the guy some space, even if he says he don't want it.

Yeah, cause he aint allowed to by himself!

She said it not me. But through her pickiness she did find a dress today so we're getting somewhere. Still on the search for invitations.

Good luck. You might try the Modern Bride website if you're looking for a place to gush about it.
