A different way of "mailing" invitations

We gave the family in the area theirs, the families who attend our church, we put theirs in their church mailbox, and we mailed the rest.

Ooh, I'm interested in these box invitations. I'm doing normal invitations -- well, note cards from VP, and I'll be hand delivering some simply to save stamps/return address labels. If you see some of these folks fairly regularly, why not?

People who lived far away we mailed, but for those who lived in town or no farther than 30minutes we hand delivered

Yes any invite that I could hand deliver, I did...and yes our guest felt extra special to receive an invite hand delivered...and the bonus is that it saved us $$

I want to do this but my mom said it would make me seem cheap thanks for posting this I just need to stop listening to her

FH wants to hand deliver that ones that live close and then mail the ones that we don't see all the time.

I had box invitations also. We had so many OOT guests that we had to mail many of them. DH wanted to deliver them and I initially thought it was cheezy but when to see/hear how much delight both he and he recipients had when they were hand delivered I completely changed my mind!

Our invitations were boxed and had the recipients name printed on a ribbon on the outside of the box... They were such a hit. I still go to people's homes and see the invitation on the shelf, in the office, etc. It makes me smile inside!

Here are the invitations and the boxes ready for mailing! I can't wait to see yours. I LOVE invitations!

Wow that is a cool idea!!!! hmm I might just do this - saves some money especially since it would be very easy for me to hand deliver some of them

For the most part, I'll be mailing them. I just like that idea. For the STD's I do plan to hand deliver them to the people who are close. the only ones that will recieve one "hand delivered" will be the people who help me put them together-my MOH and BM's.

We hand delivered a lot of our STDs but that turned out to be a bad idea.

A few people lost them or bent and ruined it before it made it to their fridge. Also I got to watch people rip though the special envelopes that I paid extra for and hand addressed without even looking at it... Probably could have written Mr & Mrs Poophead and some people wouldn't have noticed.

We're spending the extra cash and just mailing all of the invitations now.

I recently finished my STD's and I am going to hand them out to save money, and because we are around family/friends to do so. I also want to see people's reactions since they were DIY! However, I will be mailing the invites because I want it to be a bit more formal.

The last bridal shower I went to--the bride handed them out. I thought that was a good idea!! Hers with thick too, it would have cost a pretty penny to mail them.

@EdubbsWife™ where did you purchase your boxes from?

EdubbsWife I second where did you get the outside boxes?
