Our Wedding Invitations Came!

[Leopardess]

Yay! They came! I've been really stressed about these just because they were ordered online and I'm always skeptical of anything online. I had ordered samples, but obviously didn't see our ink/font selection or anything. All too often people only complain about when things go wrong, but I have to say that these guys did an awesome job and that I'd recommend them to anyone else wanting invitations or stationery. They said they'd take about two weeks in production, but they were shipped less than three days after the order and arrived three days after they were shipped!

The company we used was: http://theamericanwedding.com/

We're so glad with how they turned out. AND they used 100% environmentally friendly packing peanuts that were made from 100% corn - you can put them out for the birds to eat! I ate one...they melt like cotton candy! Hehe

And Baron climbed right into the box after it was empty LOL...Apparently he approved!

Congratulations! And please try not to stress too much about the details. The more things that go wrong, the better your stories will be afterward.

So..when is the wedding, Leo? :clap:

[Leopardess]

Green - that is a good way to look at it. For things that didn't require a lot of money, I'll keep that in mind:D

Slappy - It's July 16:D

Still going to Bora Bora for that honeymoon? I can't imagine a better place to kick off a marriage.

[Leopardess]

Yup! We leave Boston on the 18th around noon! Fly to LA, then leave there around midnight to arrive in Papeete. Then we fly on a small plane (500ft up) to Moorea for a few days and then another flight to Bora Bora for a few days.

I'm psyched - and still terrified of flying.

Congrats Leo! We just got married last november. Originally our honeymoon was going to be in Bora Bora, I still drool over pictures of those over water bungalows. We wound up going to Costa Rica instead, but I still want to do the Bora Bora thing someday.

Congrats on the wedding!! and it sounds like I already made a post!! We had thought seriously about Bora Bora, but then decided we wanted more of a wilderness oriented trip and went to Costa Rica!!

[Leopardess]

Haha. That's so weird. Our travel agent had never booked a trip to Bora Bora/Tahiti before in all her time there!

We booked a 4X4 safari excursion on moorea, so that should be wilderness-y. Plus we're doing a ray-feeding excursion on Moorea. And we think we're going to boat over to Huahine-iti or Huahine-nui for some hiking. That's the island we really wanted to stay at, but the Hotel is closed for renovations while we are there...and there was only one. At some point, I want to hike up to the lookout on Moorea that's near a huge water fall...I bet I could get some awesome pictures!

Thank you all for the congrats:)

WOOHOO!! good for you Leo!! hehehe, I can't believe you ate one of the packing corns, hehehe.... cracks me up..... but I find it very cool that they are environmentally friendly. At any rate good luck with the rest of the planning and all my best for the 16th :D
