Got My Wedding Mojo

My youngest son is getting married this Saturday so of course I had to make a card for the gift.  I wasn't sure just what type of a design that I wanted to do so I followed this weeks Mojo Monday design as a guide.

I was thinking about all the list of things we made to do and the bride's lovely gown when I chose the papers and the image for the design.  The bride is wearing her mother's gown with slight alterations and an added pink ribbon with training tails.  This Stampin' Up image is perfect!  The paper is from My Minds Eye Stella and Rose collection.

He's Getting Married

Yes, that's right.  My youngest son, Phillip got himself engaged last week.  The wedding is planned to be a low-key affair at the beach with just a few family and friends on AUGUST 6th.  Yes, in less than 6 weeks!

Consequently, everyone pitched in to make the invitations this weekend.  My son and I arranged everything on the computer and printed what we needed.  My husband cut everything out.  The bride-to-be distressed the edges and tied the bows.  My son glued everything down and I ran the Cuttlebug embossing all the parts.  Here is what we came up with.....

Here is the inside with the invitation part.  The flourish is from Technique Tuesday.

All the envelopes were distressed and a flourish added.  The bride hand wrote the addresses.

We included an RSVP card and directions to the beach.

Once we figured out what the bride and groom wanted, and found all the parts the rest was easy.  With every one's help we completed 40 invitations in just 3 1/5 hours.  Whew!!
