however, when I pulled them out and worked with them, I discovered sadly that they were a bit too thin so they looked pretty... ghetto? hahaha I mean the monogram stamp from PSA Essentials definitely helped up the class a bit, but it was still a bit ... shoddy.
SO, through www.bigfatcake.com, Auschick informed me that Bluedotpapershop is closing down and as a result was offering 30% off! I immediately perused through their envelopes and found that they had "hot fudge" envelopes that were 5 1/4 by 7 1/4. I worked on the invitation design and shrunk it to fit within that envelope size. Then I had to purchase 2" circular labels/ seals in order to stamp our monogram (design is 1.63") onto the seal to affix it to the envelope (since now they are brown). The end result? looks like this:
Now I added the border to the RSVP postcards because otherwise it didn't really match with the invite and the hotel cards... Then I added the scroll design to the back of the RSVP cards to make the whole look cohesive...
YAY! so fabulous!!!!
We decided that for the Korean congregation invitations, we'll use the Sam's Club ones because the 1st generation Korean folks don't really care about invitations or envelopes or whatever.
Here's what the finished Korean invites look like:
BUT for our friends, we ordered the brown envelopes and the labels to affix on them.
Cost for the change?
- Envelopes: 50 envelopes in Hot Fudge A7 cost $14.99 a piece. But the 30% off discounted $22.49 so the total with shipping= $62.45 for 250 envelopes.
- Labels/ Seals: 240 2" white circular labels cost $9.75 put shipping so that total was $12.25 for 240 labels.
- Now we'll be returning 3 boxes of the Sam's Club envelopes which = $26.64
- So $74.70- $26.64= $48.06 additional spent on invitations.
