Not sure if I'll use this one, messin' around with another design now

but here's what I came up with while I was recovering from my tonsillectomy:

and this is the wording, WE CAN NOT agree on the wording, therefore, I keep having to change it
nor can we agree on the calligraphy style:

ONLY 99 more to go if I stay with this one.........

but, I like this :

with the mountain instead, just a drawing for now, maybe I'll paint it tonight:

You are a brave woman to take on hand painting each invite. I wonder what it would cost to have them printed? I have a friend who paints and has them made into notecards afterwards and they are beautiful! Might help you save some time!

A LOT, that's why I will paint each one individually

I'm also doing the programs, but only need about 40 or so of them

not everyone is invited to the ceremony

I have until Next October to get them done

Ahhh... Another bride who plans way ahead like me! Love it! :happy:

I also just read the inside of your invitations- You are going to have a really FULL day! It looks like a really fun time though! I love the bonfire and s'mores! How fun is that?

I love to paint, and thankfully, we spend a lot of time in the warmer months camping, so instead of reading, I'll be painting
