We Met in a Bar

progress

Happy Monday! I can’t believe Thanksgiving is this week… time flies :) This weekend was a very productive one on the wedding front, we gocco’d our save the dates! It took a lot more ink than I imagined…

But our new Ikea dinner table substituted nicely for a work table :)

And all in all, we are pretty happy with them! The white didn’t print as white as I would have liked (but it is whiter in real life than in these pictures), and it isn’t 100% centered, but other than that I love them! Not to mention they only cost about $25 when all is said and done :)  

I also addressed all but 5 of the envelopes (who knew i needed significant others last names?!) We were going to print the addresses on labels but since we didn’t have any on hand and I couldn’t decide which labels we would even want to use, I decided that my handwriting isn’t all that bad and did them myself. We did decide that we are going to gocco our return address on the back, so that will need to be done, and I need to cut and assemble all of the envelope liners, but with only 45 save the dates going out, we should be done by this week! Woohooooooo!

Did you complete any wedding tasks this weekend? oh!  A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Jenny, who got married on Saturday! Woo Woo

Yay! They look great! I finally finished lining our save-the-date envelopes on Saturday. Once I got going it went a lot quicker than I expected. I still need to Gocco our website card I’m including… but that scares me to death!

Hello! These are beautiful. I am not sure why I needed to say hello, I was just really excited about them I guess.

Oh how I love Gocco… I definitely need to do another project soon…

Thanks for the kind words ladies! We went through so many design options with these (the downside to being a graphic designer!) and we are very happy with how they turned out :)

They look great! I’ve stockpiled a bit of ink, so if you need more white, let me know. :) I’m still too afraid to use my gocco, so it’s all just sitting here. I’m crazy, I know.

After your comment on my site, I’ve stalked your Gocco process and am even more inspired. Thank you!!

Thanks for all of these great gocco postings… your work is beautiful! My fiance just ordered a Gocco Printer for me for my birthday. It’s being shipped from somewhere in Asia, so hopefully it makes it! HaHa! Where did you get your Gocco… and is there a good place to get refills/ink? It seems like one of the hardest items to find….
