    I love my whole invitation idea.  Really, I do.  But there is so much that goes into these things!  My wedding is in 3 months and 1 week.  I finally have my invitation card, and have taped them into the pockfold.  No inserts yet.  But now I am trying to figure out how to "seal" the stupid thing!  I originally wanted just ribbon.  But its more pricey, and then the envelope gets too bulky.  So, I used my "corner adorner" and created a fantastic seal with the matching paper from the invitation mattes.  So what can I put on this seal?  I was going to do a monogram, but I just don't like how it looks.  Then I was going to do each of our first initials and get an "ampersand" stamp for in between.  But I cannot find a nice one for the life of me!!!  So, now I am looking for self-adhesive sequins to just put one in between our initials.....

    am I just making a huge deal out of this?  I cannot make a decision here to save my life, and really its getting down to the wire here.  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me???

    Girl- it so is not just you... we are presented with so many darn ideas when it comes to wedding planning and nothing- well at least to me- is easy to choose because it has to be "just right"... and when it isn't I just say F- it and start all over. It really brings out some major insecurities in myself. And I'm not the insecure type typically.
    I'm at the point that I want to burn my boxes of wedding crap but I'm too environmentally conscious so that's keeping me from actually following through with this crazy idea.
    If it helps at all- we used the label for the seal to put the invitee's names on it. B/c we're having such a small wedding, we want to overkill it that we are only inviting x number of people and those people are x & x (on the label, on the rsvp, etc).
