I just got hitched this past weekend and the lady was hellbent on not using the birdcage for the envelopes. First its was security issues(those guests didn't come but would have been required) then it was just to add more of ourselves to the wedding......or at least that what i was told, haha. I loved working with lace and found it pretty user freindly.
Nice job on the lace, that's what the wife want's on her 64 impala...inspiration! PS you got steps in the wrong order... 1.always cap your beverage!
