i spent most of last night hand stamping and circling the date on the cards..i got about half way thru (i hope to finish the rest by this weekend). we don't quite have our guest list totally finalized, which is probably a good thing, because i really don't know how i'm going to label these babies and can use the extra time to figure that out...i really wanted to do the wrap-around labels showcased on martha's wedding website, but i really don't want to purchase a sticker machine. so i bought these soft white oval labels at paper source. i think these will look great with the gray font used on the std's for the guests address. here's my problem...i don't want to lick (for lack of a better word) the envelopes shut, because i don't want them to be ripped open. i really want my guest to be able to appreciate the lining that i worked so hard on:
here is a close up of the card:
so...any good ideas out there on how i can close up the back of the envelope to keep the lining from getting ripped?

Well....If you have to end up licking them shut I know someone who would love to help out. His name is Elvis...you know that pug you have that licks anything and everything 24 hours a day. Put that Pug to work!
i suggest wax. like the olden days. you could make a vreative seal. they make things like that and sell them at stationary stores
hey there amy! well i can't help you with any advice on wedding prep -- haven't the slightest idea! however i can certainly congratulate you for choosing such a wonderful design indeed! just faaabulous! ;) how are you and ryan doing? just heard from jillian -- she is well!
best of luck w/ everything! let me know if you guys want to go out dancing again! :D
cheers, jaycee
Hmmm...I know you can buy all kinds of seals (stickers, faux wax) that you could put on there. Or you could make your own, of course.
If you do end up trying to seal all those envelopes, try using an ice cube. Just wrap it in a towel or something and then rub it on the seal (will melt a little from the natural warmth of your hand). That's what I do with anything I have to seal in mass like that.
Can't wait to see what you decide to do.

Zots? That might work.
Those STDs are dreamsicle!
Cute stickers or wax? The std's are fabulous, btw, I'd have never known you made them yourself if I hadn't read the blog!!
cute blog! and super cute s-t-ds. i lined our wedding envelopes myself and found (i did not think of this before) that everyone slits the top open and doesn't ever try to open the flap. DUH. all that work and no one ever sees the flap open!
but guess what? it's totally worth it anyway... and at least you have the pics. this whole perfection thing is just for the bride, i'm convinced. but i wouldn't have it any other way!
so pretty! it is nice to see someone with the same colors as me! this is my first time to you r blog but i will go through all of your posts now, I am interested to see how you have done things! For the seal, I would recommend little stickers maybe :)
Wax seams like a great idea.That will stop most people from ripping it open. I think the only ones you would have to be concerned with are the "men".
Those a gorgeous... and I just realized we have the same wedding date!
sticker/label with a matching design
amy, i love these! Ours is staying on the fridge WITH the envelope because they are so freaking cute :)
