One of my first assignments at the Invitations shop was to compile wedding invitations for a couple that was getting married in a half a year. What the elegant wedding invitation was, it was a white box, in which there was a wedding announcement, all in sparkling white and a reply card with a creamy white ribbon on it. All the wedding stationery was decorated with white artificial flowers and an awesomely beautiful script. The process consisted of taking a box, opening it up, putting another layer of thin decorative creamy white paper inside of it, then sticking the middle portion of the thin paper to the box, so that it does not disengage. Then, I had to take a wedding announcement cards, fold it according to the directions, put it in a separate envelope, also decorated by flowers and little sparkling dots, and then put another card into that envelope, an attendance reply. The reply was in the shape of a flower itself, and when unfolded, represented a head of a tulip. The reply card was also creamy-yellowish white, sparkling. After that, we had to put all the wedding invitations into boxes and take them to the post office to mail. The entire process, with maybe around three hundred invitations, took us about six to seven hours to complete, but to me, those six hours seemed like an eternity, simply because I got so carried away by all the beauty around me that I was not even able to speak while I was working on the invitations. Without even trying, I found myself in the world of the couple that was getting married, I imagined how happy and light they felt when they were actually selecting the design of the invitations they were going to send out to their friends and relatives, and happy those friends and relatives would feel when they actually receive the wedding invitations. And in the middle of the couple-to-be-married and their invitees was I! I did every single invitation, with my own hands, and all of them looked awesome! I went home, totally relaxed, happy, and calmed.
