I am very good at making my mind up and sticking to it, i love my vision of the wedding and am not chaning it. as such I have finished off the pockets, envelope linings, and other parts of in invitations except the incerts and printed parts with all the info on it becuase i dotn know it yet! I have also started making my hundereds of candles (masons, tea lights, and pillars), and paper chains. </P><P>Oh yea and my wedding is a little over 2 years away.Thu, 15 May 2008 01:43:16 GMTkittybeanshttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic654108-21-1.aspxMy wedding is July 2009 and I have already bought paper for the invites. I'm making about 100 of them and there are about 4 layers to the invite plus one insert (where the text goes) so I want to get a head start. At the very least I want the paper and other pieces all cut up and ready for assemble. I'll probably print the insert a month before sending out the invites.<br><br>My ceremony and banquet locations are already decided. And I'd also like to get most of the things out of the way so I have less to worry about next year. :DFri, 09 May 2008 12:19:16 GMTjanjanhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic654108-21-1.aspxI would start as early as possible too but like everyone said, make sure you are set with what you want. We have to move our ceremony up from 4:00 to 3:30. Luckily I haven't printed anything yet, but if I did that would mean re-doing everything for such a minor change.Fri, 09 May 2008 10:35:50 GMTAlsBride09http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic654108-21-1.aspx[quote][b]cfranke (5/7/2008)[/b][hr]I had a long engagement as well (almost 2 years), and when I originally set out to do my invites, I cut all the paper, had it all ready to go...then changed my mind.

EVERYTHING. I am not too sure when i should start making everything, I dont want to be pressed for time, and i have already picked my colours ( Chocolate Brown, Dusty Rose type Pink and possibly ivory ) I have an idea of how I want everything to look, but i feel like i am doing everything WAY too early... and suggestions?Wed, 07 May 2008 15:08:17 GMTdunkleta
