Wedding Invitations

Wow - after the hype of the new ring, I realised I have to start to plan for this wedding. The date is 10 May 2008 - a nice 12 months to plan. And being the perfectionist that I am, I live by lists and schedules. So I printed an Afrikaans count down list from "Bruid 24" (in Afrikaans it is called "Aftellys") and started going down the list to give me an idea of my next 12 months. Everything is already worked out! I must admit, I have been planning for this wedding for more than 5 years now - so most of the things on the list I already had in my mind. But what an exciting twist to actually plan it for real! Today, being part of the 12 month list, I decided on a small, informal but "warm and inviting" little wedding - 60 people max. So yes, I have set up a guest list. I decided that I am going to design my own wedding invitations. Thank goodness for creative juices. Seeing that the internet is just a big-ass place where everything is available, I downloaded and printed templates of wedding invitations and beautiful little verses to go on the invitations. I also struggled with the fact we do not want any gifts - just money. Luckily I found the cutest little verse that makes my request look OK. Anyway, back to work for me. Anybody want to share their experience with me? Azel
