e&c - see U soon - mailing No 8

I have no idea how I came up with this idea.

I really don't. 

I'm pretty sure I would remember if it was something I saw - so I'm pretty sure -- it just came to me. Maybe not. If someone ever sees the same thing -- please let me know. I'm sure if I saw an inspiration for it, I would remember it when I saw it. But I have a feeling that I was just in a mailing frenzy. I know for a fact that I didn't bother with anything else during the wedding planning. E&C were both very good at planning every little detail for the wedding in Chicago and I was thrilled that all I had to do was show up. 

I even let my own dress go until the last minute and just grabbed one off a sale rack. I will refrain from saying anything about the *job* of getting the two younger brothers organized to look presentable and behave appropriately at a wedding that was going to be spiffier than anything they had ever attended in Duh Moines.

Here's the insert in the *one-more-mailing* envelope.

Once again -- the save the date was in a business sized envelope - so to make this one different, I addressed it in the portrait orientation. I probably won't ever do this again now that I am being helpful to the USPS. 

However, if you want to add the surcharge and address a business envelope in the portrait orientation, I think it is a very fun way to address. Y'all know how much I love the quilt stamps.

It was really hard to get a super black background, digitally. So this ended up on a really slick paper that I did not care for - but that was a minor detail.
