Wedding Invitations (Blank) – $100<\/h2>\n
\n

5×7″ pink and brown cardstock ready to be made into wedding (or other) invitations. Paper has pretty butterfly and flower design. I have enough materials for approx. 150 invitations, including ribbon to assemble, as well as blank white response cards.

I think the email exchange between Leslie and me is the best possible commentary:<\/p>\n

Leslie:<\/strong> BLANK wedding invitations, you say? Blank, that is, except for the NAMES boldly emblazoned across the bottom – “Becky and Tim”.<\/p>\n

I’m getting married soon, and this seemed like such a good deal. Being cautious of those kooky Craigslisters out there (thanks to your blog), I thought it best to first inquire as to this young ladies definition of “blank”. You guessed it – blank means “blank except for our names on the front”. She was quite the “Helpy Helperton”, though. She offered several suggestions as to how I might overcome this very minor issue. After asking if it was possible that my name was Becky and my fiancee’s name was Tim, she informed me I could either cross it out and write our names underneath or simply put a sticker over it and write our names on that.<\/p>\n

Yeah, this seems like just the right way to start out your new lives together. Maybe we should just change our names to Becky and Tim.<\/p>\n

YSaC:<\/strong> Please tell me that the “blank” response cards also say “Becky and Tim” on them … because that would be awesome.<\/p>\n

Leslie:<\/strong> Well, I suppose if you’re already crossing out the names on the front….what’s a few hundred more on the “blank” response cards?<\/p>\n

My aggravation got the better of me, so I opted to send Becky the link to the Webster’s definition of “blank”.<\/p>\n

She responded with “so you aren’t interested in the invitations?\u00a0 This is a real money saver.”\u00a0 I pray my sanity holds fast so I don’t have to use my daily allotment of curse words on one person.\u00a0 I don’t even think I need to ask why it is that things didn’t work out between\u00a0with she and Tim’s nuptials.\u00a0 I’m sure your IQ must fall a few points each\u00a0day when you live with someone like that.<\/p>\n

Team Tim!<\/p>\n

YSaC:<\/strong> Hang onto her email address. You’ll need it when you send her a link to the entry on the blog!<\/p>\n

Leslie:<\/strong> Oh, I fully intend to link her to the posting.\u00a0 I’m from the South, so anytime we do\/say something about someone else that’s not so kind, we just begin or end the sentence with “Bless Her Heart”.<\/p>\n

Yes, bless her heart.\u00a0 Bless her sweet, sweet, unsure of the meaning of “blank” heart.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the post & emails, Leslie! This is the fourth or fifth submission of Leslie’s that’s made it on the site, so I think it’s time to start an “LC” tag — keep bringing us the crazy!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
