Our Wedding Invitations

Finally our invitations are printed! We designed them ourselves and were really happy with the way they came out. The RSVP date was the 16th of October. We sent the invitations out on the 17th! The printer we went with didn’t tell us for a week that the paper mill who produced the card we selected had gone bust! You think he would have contacted us straight away. We thought they would be even more delayed due to all the postal strikes we’re having in the UK at the moment but thankfully most people seem to have received them already. We must be the only couple to send out the invites after the RSVP date!

The font came from a great free downloadable font site that I’ve talked about before dafont.com and the background from deviantART.
