Invitations - Assembly: Phase 1

Posted by: Dan on Apr 21, 2008

Tonight was a busy night for me. I printed off 125 invitations (double sided). I also managed to cut two holes in each invitation for the photo slider that will go in them. This wasn’t difficult, it was just time consuming. I started at 4:45PM and managed to finish up around 10:15PM. Right now I think things are going pretty well – despite a few minor set backs.

When printing the invites the heavier weight of the paper caused everything to be a little off center. All this means is once everything is assembled I’ll have to trim a little off on side of the invitation. Not a huge deal, but still some extra work. The other minor set back – my lack of planning for the holes. I borrowed a hole punch but it didn’t reach in as far as I needed it to. So I ended up cutting all the holes with a razor blade knife. My hands are sore.

Tomorrow night I will hopefully get all the photo sliders printed and cut. I’ll try to score the paper for the folds (I have to do this because of the heavy paper weight). If time permits I can try to get the photo slider “guides” cut as well. Wednesday night I hope to assemble everything.

So yeah, there you have it. A lot of work for something that I hope turns out well.
