Wedding Invitations: The Pains of Design Blindness

I realize that talking about the differences between how I see things and how Kacie sees things is a common theme for me (I can only imagine this will continue well into marriage and possibly into our hundredth anniversary), but we found another one: Wedding invitations.

When I was in fifth grade I wanted to have a birthday party with
my friends. I sent out invitations that basically said, "Birthday party at my house. Let me know if you can come." on a white piece of paper. Simple, to the point, easy. I didn't even put my name on it (Didn't seem important to me) but one of my friend's mom's told me, "It may not have had your name, but it had Brian written all over it."

Now we're trying to figure out our wedding invitations. If you can't see where this is going, let me spell it out: Kacie is not ok with a two line invitation, and she wants me to remember to put our names on it.

Also, apparently colors are important. In my mind, orange and red are pretty much the same thing. The both have "r"s and there's an "e" around somewhere in both of them. To Kacie, orange and red are very different. I give her a hard time about being picky about "little things" like that, but I'm glad she is as gracious as she is. I know some girls who would get very upset about their guy not understanding how important invitation colors are.

If you're wondering, I think we're close to having them figured out. One more thing to check off the list!
