Invitations out...

10 days past our agreed deadline, but out. Yay! I had my first tantrum of the wedding planning over them. Given Himself is a graphic designer, I figured asking him to design and help me construct the invites would be a great way to have him take over one area I didn't have to arrange. Fat chance. Given Himself's huge work schedule, along with his overhanging tiredness from recent projects (let alone our impending move) his enthusiasm was less than overwhelming. Add to that his usual slack attitude to details and it was a receipe for disaster.

In the end, they weren't that late, which is great, but the outer card is almost bright-white. The only thing I didn't want on the invites was white. My hissy fit was mostly down to the fact that it could have been avoided if more care was taken, not so much that they aren't 'perfect'. Every time I look at them I get annoyed that they are almost right, that the one thing Himself has really had to be in charge of is late (and has resulted in both sets of parents doing some not-so-gentle hinting that they aren't being done soon enough) and lacks effort. They look like cut-n-paste pieces... and not in a good way.

In the end, I'm just bloody happy to have them done. Now we just have to sit back and see who's coming.
