Engagement party: Full steam ahead!
Not sure why I haven't blogged about this yet, but the engagement party is drawing near and I thought I would.
It started with me doing the invitations…ugh, my fingers ache at the thought of the torture I put them through. Since chickz0r and I aren't able to afford a massive wedding (which she wants), we're going for massive engagement party instead.
To annoy me, the guillotine I had was inoperable - blunt bladey thing, I had to cut them all myself. It took such a long time. Maybe I should have just sharpened it, but nooo, I had to do things the hard way. Oh well, my fingers got exercise…which…is important, I have to fight off chubby fingers.
If you look closely, you'll notice that its a rather odd invitation design. Well, its a rather odd party we're trying to have. A costume party infact!
This has annoyed nearly everybody over the age of thirty, although I've managed to convince my mum to come in costume, and she's done a very good job of it.
Back to the torture of my fingers…after that I discovered our printer wasn't picking up the envelopes, so I had to write the addresses (and 'return to sender' addresses). Then chickz0r and her mother decided we needed to include maps, which meant more printing, and worst of all, more cutting!
The final 'product', some 85 invitations
The party is coming up in a couple of weeks, and it should be a blast.
I'm busy getting my costume ready- its of mammoth proportions, but many photos shall be posted once its actually done, although I may wait until after the event so people get a surprise.
