I ordered samples for invitations...whoo hoo!! first step! =)

Okay, I've realized that my freedom is coming to an end VERY soon and because of that, I knew I still wanted to get some wedding stuff done before my life becomes hectic again. I knew I had to go look for my wedding dress and REALLY start working on the invitations. But what to do what to do?

As you recall, Mr. JellyBelly and I bought some of our wedding supplies from Papersource a few weeks ago (December 31st) but they're still sitting in the bag that they came in. Mr. JellyBelly asked if he can see a sample/mockup of what our wedding invitation would look like with all our supplies. I said...um...well, no because I don't have the pocketfold yet. In case you don't remember, the pocketfolds he liked were from envelopement with the flap. But those babies cost about $3 each. I can't afford that. I'm on a student budget. But guess who came to the rescue? Yeap..a weddingbee. Mrs.Hisbiscus to be exact. On her blog, she wrote down every little thing she did to get those invites done, which included buying her pocketfolds from cards and pockets!

I visted cards and pockets website and found a tone of green pocketfolds but which one do I choose? I IMed the link to Mr.JellyBelly and he chose Clover. But I wondered if it was too light for what we're wanting. So, I looked and found Citron. But he didn't think that color was green; he thought it was brown. (In case you didn't know, Mr. JellyBelly is color blind and doesn't really see green all that well.)

And for the envelopes, we were hoping to get green envelopes to match as well but the store didn't have them. So, I asked Mr. JB if we should do white or pearl or champagne. Mr. JB thought it'd be good to do white. But I think I may like pearl. Hm...

I kept on visiting the website and yesterday, I decided to bite the bullet and ordered a few samples, which included the envelopes and the pocketfolds. We shall see how they all look. I forgot to mention, I wanted the envelopes to be the pointed A7 because I bought myself the envelope liner templates and my $8 paper from papersource. I want to use them!!!

Patiently waiting for the arrival of my lovely samples........
