Invitation Assembly Time!

I've reached that point in my wedding planning timeline that I've been anticipating and fearing, the time that so many brides before me have cursed and reconsidered. It's that time when a lot of hard work pays off quickly when it's seen by 200 guests. It's time to begin assembling our invitations!  I won't have the actual completed, printed invite in my hands until next week, but I need to start addressing envelopes and coming up with a game plan.

So I went shopping:

125 each of 4-Bar reply card envelopes in "fossil", A7 invitation envelopes in "olive," and belly belts in "lemon drop." I picked up a glue stick, brown and white gel pens, brown and white ink pads, and a heart-shaped-hole puncher all from Paper Presentation.

You may have also noticed yellow Divine Twine, purchased after reading Miss Lobster's post, and the alphabet roller rubber stamp from Etsy that I picked up after reading Miss Stripes post. Yes, I bow down to the inspirational powers of fellow bee bloggers! Thank you ladies!

I have the tools, now let's see if I can build something with them...

Are you apprehensive or anxious about invitation assembly? Or are you happy to dig in?
