Day 1: Wedding thank-you-note photo cards
Today’s chore was to write thank-you notes for people who attended our wedding on January 27. We had a bunch of extra invitations and envelopes, so we figured we’d print up some nice portraits and attach them to spare copies of the invites and include them in with the thank-you notes. So, I took an image I made a while back and did some addition of caption text and cropping and what-not to get ready to print out 70 copies. Then, in the rush to get out the door, I forgot to Follow Instructions and check my cropping before finalizing the order. So I ended up with 70 copies of the print with about half the text missing. (The image was prepped for 5×7 printing, but we decided to go for 4×6 instead.)
So, back to the drawing board, and this time we checked the dimensions before printing. Then it was just a matter of writing out the notes, attaching the photos to the backs of the invites with photo corners, and sticking them in envelopes.
This project wasn’t enormously creative, but it definitely counted as Getting Things Done and had a personalized, somewhat-creative twist. And yes, my wife makes the outfits - but not one a day!
