Since the magnet part of our Save The Date has been floating around the web, I thought I’d upload a picture of the whole thing. The envelopes were sealed with a return address sticker.

I’ve also been getting a lot of requests to see the invites so I finally uploaded those pictures to the AMMIH Flickr as well.

evilcharismatic (my bridesmaid), PsychoVandal and I were able to set up an assembly line at my dinner table. Psycho cut, evil glued the trifold part of the invitations and applied adhesive to the seals, while I pasted them and licked the envelopes shut. We were able to knock out 110 invitations in 2 days; 50 pink, and 60 blue. The pink ones contained our real names and went out to my family. The blue ones with our gamertags went out to everyone else.

When searching around for invitation wording I noticed many of them started with cute little wedding limericks. “And on this day I will marry my friend…” blah blah blah, yaddy yaddy yadda. After reading what seemed like a million of them, I decide the only way I’d be happy is if I made up my own. Here is what I came up with:

November Ninth
The year two thousand four
Marked a day in history
Few could ignore

Two individuals
That played Xbox that night
Were destined to experience
Love at first fight

They felt an attraction
They couldn’t explain
United in part
By their love for the game

Silently wishing
They could be teammates for life
They’ll soon be pronounced
Husband and wife

*the stanzas got a little screwy cause I tossed the photos in there, but you get the point.

Opening up the folds reveals the actual invitation underneath. Both pink and blue pocketfold envelopes were affixed with a seal. Our return address was screen printed on the back of each outer envelope with coordinating ink color.
