The night of making invitations was sure a long crazy one. The plan was for me to bring my laptop {with the saved design} and printer to the co-host's house. We were going to print off all the invitations {all 85 of them... yes that's right 85} at her house and then put them together. It was going to be an easy night. To start it off with a bang, I was nearly to the Mom-to-be's house {which is about 25 miles from mine} and realized I forgot my printer. I had the cord of course, but just forgot the printer. But it was ok, we decided we would just print them off somewhere else. So once we get there to print them off, we realized I couldn't hook up my computer to that printer. This meant we had to use a junk drive to put the file onto the other computer. Well of course I had used fonts that were only on my computer. We quickly chose new ones we liked and then started printing. Well it took about 4 times to line it up correctly as the printer just didn't take the paper in right. Eventually we were on our way to printing. Slowly one invitation by one invitation they came. We decided after getting about half of them done that we were going to go to the co-hosts house and finish printing them off her computer. But of course that couldn't be smooth printing either. We had to trick the printer to think the pages were larger than they were as it didn't want to take the smaller pages. Eventually after HOURS of printing, we had them done. Then it was time to put them together.
We had a great system down and finished the process very quickly afterwards. Well, as quickly as you can make 85 invitations.
The Dad-to-be even came over and helped us out. I cannot wait to see how adorable their little guy is!!!
