Crafty Lady

So it has been a while since I've done anything crafty. School is really kicking my ass and I have just been feeling very lazy the past few months. But my best friends decided to marry each other and so I offered to make their wedding invitations. She is a librarian and he is as nerdy as it gets. So I decided to make a library card wedding invitation. Enjoy the pictures below:

This is the total package. Cute, no?

It took me several weeks to get everything ordered and made. Then a long night to put it all together.

Here is the invitation. Blurred are the names, so you don't attack me in my sleep. Don't lie, you know you would.

The reception card. Made to look like a card catalog card. They asked me to use the dewy decimal number 507.8 because that is for "science experiments". Which I thought was nice.

I made all this using excel and word. I had them printed on cream colored card stock at my college. I bought a seal press (which later became their wedding present), stickers, and library card holders all online. It was pretty fun. Tedious, yes, but the payoff was quite nice. Everyone said they liked them, I only hope they weren't lying. The wedding was fantastic, they had a really great time and looked very much in love.

See, I think the border makes it all the more magical!

Also, check out the groom's cake... code cake?! Coolest. Cake. Ever. Ammitrite?!
