You know when your caterer asks for a head count to do their costing and offer you their lowest amount per head, and you can't answer them with (even an estimated) number, because your event date falls on the most popular date to go somewhere for vacation, and you worry about people not showing up, and you don't know if you'll bring the number of guests down or what? Yeah, that's what we had two weeks ago. So we thought, "let's tell the world as early as now about the party (which is 2 months and a half early, btw), so we can get replies from guests (on whether they can make it or not), and if we're lucky, we can get confirmations." Thus this "notification" invitation. Basically just to inform/remind them of the date, and (this is the main goal), get them to reserve.
A friend who is an amazing digital artist made this illustration. Our theme is enchanted forest, so I asked for a sleeping baby fairy on grass, having the night sky, and fireflies for a magical look. And oh my I think she did wonderful! Very pretty that now I don't know where to put the text for details, bec I don't want to ruin such a cute design. Help me decide?:)
HAHA I'M SO EXCITED AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT. I'M ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL AND I THINK I LIKE IT. Or something like that.
Comment, email, message me if you want the original illustration (without text).
