Wedding Blog: BD**2 - 155
Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2008 1:49 pm
FSIL's sister was sending us what we thought were some sample invitations. We're looking for wording and styles. What we received turned out to be just different card stocks. Useful, but not what we wanted. We'll probably end up with something simple and tasteful. You know - "BD and FSIL are gittin' hitched! You wanna watch and git drunk after, c'mon down!" Something like that. 
Otherwise, no real action on the wedding. eBay listings progress apace to pay for it all. Spoke with a UPS Store employee on shipping the artwork. There's apparently no such thing as a big, flat media envelope that would be stiff enough to ship the thing flat without worries of bending it. One suggestion was to put it between some cardboard and then into a shirt box (about 15"x19") with peanuts around it. It's a thought. She also said they have more problems with paperwork shipping to Canada than to anywhere else in the world. There is at least one Canadian who is bidding, and another who may bid at the last second. We shall see.
