Yes, creating and mailing wedding invitations might just be the most hectic part of the whole wedding-planning process.
Not only do you have to make sure you invite your cousin and his wife and make sure you don't accidentally forget to send a Save the Date card to your godmother (ahem, Jon), but when your on-a-budget, diy-ers, you have to print them. You would think this is the easy part, and I wrongly assumed that too.
Getting a new printer and then having the wedding invitations be your first project on that printer - not recommended.
However, last night I finished printing out everything and have them almost all set. (So much crap that goes into an invitation: the actual invite, the response card and (stamped) envelope, information about the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner (for those who qualify), and then our after party invite.
I just need to pick up a few more stamps, and we're good to go!
Wahoo!

Ah the joys of making your own invitations...since we had a "private" ceremony we got to print two different invitations (one ceremony & reception and one just reception). Then since we had plated dinners and needed to know who was eating what, we had to print different response cards depending on how many people were invited and if any would be eating a children's meal. And then make sure that everyone got the correct invitation and response card. But, we saved a lot of money, all of the printed stuff matched and was exactly how we wanted it, so it was totally worth it.
