Hey everybody! **I added more pics & info to this post if you already read it!!!! :)
Things are moving right along and I'm going through my checklist steadily.
I hired Staples to do my printing. The most expensive part was doing COLORED copies. For our programs, I did 150 2-sided color copies on plain white paper. That cost $147! Then, I brought the bronze text weight paper and they did machine folding--only $6 (a bargain in my opinion!)
Then, they printed & cut my menus. I did 2 on a page, but when they cut them, some aren't completely centered. Oh well. I will have to trim those. I brought my own white linen cardstock for these.
Overall, with the printing, cutting, and folding, it cost me $200. I overbought though. I bought 150 of both projects even though I will prob only need 135 or so. I would rather have 15 too many.
Enjoy the pics!
OH, and more candy arrived today from Candy Warehouse.com! Aren't the old fashioned lollipops PERFECT!!!!!!!
PS, I will be adding a small square w/ our monogram to the cover of the program. I need more ink for my printer!!!! (I bought some yesterday...it was the wrong kind. I exchanged it today and didnt get the small black cartridge...I only got the big black (which I didn't even need) and the 3 colors. Looks like I'm going back again!)





Inside (Wedding participants & Fun Facts; no listing of our ceremony details. We dont want people reading along, we want them listening and dying to see what is next!!!!)
We did baby pics of us and in the middle, one of our engagement pics taken by the FAB Kristin Spencer.

A thank you letter to our parents.


PERFECT colors on the lollipops!!!!


The next step for the programs....
Adding the front cover's embellishment. I used two square paper punches. (show in pics) and green cardstock. I printed the design on the white linen.



Then, I fed the green squares (larger ones) through the Xyron machine to make them stickers.....I tried a glue stick and glue and it made the paper buckle and bubble. The Xyron was the easier thing to do. The squares stick nicely and do not make the paper pucker.


All the green squares just waiting to become beautiful program decor!


I also xyron'd the small squares w/ the design. Stuck those to the green and then applied the green!
There you have it! The final look!
