The news that our package of STD's was stolen off our doorstep was bad enough. THEN, this happened: I told Mike that I was getting the runaround from UPS with trying to locate the package. Annnnd cut to two months later and this issue STILL hasn't been solved. So I say to Mike, "Hey, Mike. I say we just email these suckers, or don't send them at all." Then he says, "No, you have to get them reprinted." Yeah, you read that right. He just said, "YOU." As in ME, not US. The person who has done e-v-e-r-t-h-i-n-g for this wedding already. Like fuck if I want to waste my time addressing and stamping 125 postcards, when we're just gonna have to turn around and do it again a month later with the actual invites. NO THANKS.
BUT. Our STD's are just too genius to not be seen by our guests. We did these STD's like this for a reason. To make a statement about marriage equality. See:


The card is more so a political leaflet parody than an STD anyway. So its purpose sole purpose isn't necessarily notifying guests of our wedding date. So in light of that, this is what is going to happen: We will get the STD's reprinted, and we will send them WITH the actual wedding invitation. That way we will still get our message out about marriage equality, and at the same time avoid extra costs/waste with sending two separate invites. I mean, by this point, everyone I am inviting to the wedding knows what the date is, so they've pretty much already saved it without getting a postcard in the mail telling them to do so.
I am currently working on the invitation design with the uber fun and fabulous ladies of Bon Moment! And I am balls-excited to see their creation! This invitation suite is going to blow our guest's minds. Can't wait!
