Invite FAIL.

It all started at Office Depot. I was in a rush to get my things printed and someone asked me if I did invitations and of course I say no and begin telling them about my job etc. The clerk interrupted me and asked me if I wanted my invite trimmed I said sure. She cut the damned thing down so far it looked like an oompa loompa's invitation.  I fought back tears because I realized I had only ordered ONE sample of this paper and dumb ass messed it up :(.  So I being resilient squeal that's okay we can just use the RSVP since it's not cut down. I mean I just wanted to see what it looked like on the paper, right?  Well that's just the beginning.  I get home with my invitation sized RSVP and my oompa loompa sized invitation and show Mr. Mocha.  His response was "what's wrong, I don't see anything wrong with it".  I looked at him dumbfounded.  And then walked off mumbling something about tiny invitations (he laughed his ass off).  Then I decided I was going to go ahead and do the stamp, etc.  Lo and behold I forgot AGAIN to get new ink and inked it with the dullest ink on the planet.  While I was pondering over the ink conundrum I stamped the second chandelier CROOKED!!! (Laughing yet, I was).  I then go and get my handy dandy pink glue gun, Frenchie, out (from Grease remember the pink hair lol).  Now Frenchie had never ever let me down.  Until today :D. I quickly stick in the glue wax faux sticks and la dee da wait for it to heat up.  I then dripped 3/4 of an inch or so onto my ribbon after an okay practice run on a sheet of paper.  That went not so well. I dripped a huge glob from the glue stick onto the right hand corner and proceeded to do the wax seal.  Well I put my wax seal in olive oil and push it down, I swear it looked like Mt. Helen erupting with the wax running everywhere. I am 100% sure I didn't wait long enough for it to cool.  Want to know the best part?! You cannot even tell it's our initial at the end!!!!   I then go to put the damned monstrosity into the envelope and you guessed it, it's too big to fit!!! By this time I am laughing my ass off at myself and I just take the silly thing and trim it down to size. 

Here's what I learned today:

• Don't let the person cutting your one sample out of your sight
• Don't dwell on an incorrect cut while stamping
• Wait the full 1-2 minutes on the faux wax seals
• Don't take yourself too seriously.  I mean um crying at a counter at Office Depot when my wedding isn't even for another 10 months is a bit "much" to say the least lol

Here is the RSVP close up sort of (sorry for the glare)

• And thank goodness I have 10 months to perfect this lmao! At least my envelopes look good :o)

Have you had any funny stories with your invites?
