Extra Invite Karma

While doing a seemingly not-so-fun job of making additional incidental invitations, a goldmine hath been found. We have been sending our empty-inside, gold-embossed-butterfly outside Thank-you's for leftover invites. These are mainly going to Shawn's friends who he thought of after the blue butterfly invites were all mailed. People from work, you know? He helped, anyway!

I had to buy extra envelopes to finish mailing our blue invites because that's the only thing we bought too few of, so I can't complain about that! I ended up getting gorgeous yellow envelopes (small and large for Invite and RSVP) and I was originally irritated to pay more because the large came with cards.
The handmade ivory paper used on the blue invites is actually mounted intentionally on the "wrongside" so you can't see the metallic flake on the "rightside." It was too busy on the butterfly invite, but as you can see: they're just right on these guys!!!

And how gorgeous is the RSVP with the paper rightside showing with the embossed butterfly?

I guess the cards I was forced to buy worked out, too!!!
I just love happy accidents that come about from doing the right thing: invite all you love, damn the headcount.
