I haven't mentioned it yet, but both the fiance and I are pretty computer savvy. I actually taught myself a little photoshop to pass the time when the boy was younger. I also like to try my hand at things that seem cheaper to make, than to buy.
With that in mind, let me tell you a tale. This tale starts out nicely, where my photoshop and I have a loving relationship. I take the time to lovingly pie e together an invite that looks like I spent some sort of my eye on it and didn't just use Microsoft Paint. The perfect shade of blue. Just right nautical stars. The perfect size and angled anchors. I ordered my card stock and envelopes. They arrived with such speed, I was excited to print the and assemble the envelopes. I even splurged on self-adhesive envelopes!
I am a friend to technology. I use it on the regular. In fact, most of my posts are drafted through mobile, because...lazy. Not the point. Airplanes and my wifi, however, not friends. I live in a flight path. My printer is wireless. When said planes fly over said wifi connection, said connection decides to blink. Blinking means interrupting the print job. Which means half a printed invitation. Now, let us discuss exactly how happy I am to have bought the pack of card stock that had 100+ invites in it. (we won't discuss that that was the smallest pack I could purchase) It took three printing attempts and two computers before we realized what was going on. I was done. So done. I was going to throw everything out the window and set up a FaceBook invite. Because. Klassy. So much so that it needed a K.
Moral of the story? Check your wireless connection, sit near your router, and pet the printer while telling it that it really is special. I promise, that totally works. Totally.
