Attack of the UPS Man...

Let me set the scene for you:
I ordered the paper for our invitations last week.  UPS shipment tracker said that it was out for delivery this morning at 6:33 a.m.  I was waiting oh so patiently alllllll day long for UPS man to arrive.  I went to school to buy myself some time and to actually get some non-wedding related work done today and I was quite productive, but at about 2:30 p.m. I couldn't stand it any longer.  I rushed home only to sit and wait some more.  I even opened the porch door up so I could hear him pull up out front.  Lola decided to keep me company.

As you can see, she was enjoying the sun and not much caring that the UPS man had not arrived yet.  Finally, at 4:03 p.m. exactly I heard that loud rumbling of his truck.  I literally jumped off the couch and ran down the stairs, meeting him outside before he was even off the truck.  He thought it was pretty funny.  In fact, we have come to know each other quite well these past few months since he has been delivering so much wedding stuff.

He brought it in and I ran inside to tear that sucker open.  Aaaaahhh paper.  Here is the box in the beginning:

Oh the excitement.  I remembered at this point that I should take some pictures for the old blog so I had to quickly clean off my dining room table which has been overrun with mail and books.  Now for the goods:

As you can see we are doing a pocket fold!  I love it.  The fuschia matting will be behind the pearl simmer cardstock that the actual invite is going to be printed on.  The RSVP envelope is also the fuschia shimmer.  I ordered all the products from Cards and Pockets [ www.cardsandpockets.com ]. Great quality and fast shipping!

Lola in the meantime wasn't so amused.  She thought I was a lunatic.

Stay tuned for the complete product.  Now I am off to work on addressing the envelopes :)

Were you excited to get your invitations in the mail?  Didn't it make the wedding feel so real!

Kisses,
Soon to Be Mrs. C
