I think the hand engraving/typesetting would be an important part of the
process.  If I were to do it all again, say for an important
anniversary, etc. I would cut the guest list down to where $5-10 per
announcement would be affordable, and probably spend as much money on
the dozen or so people for food/ambience as we did for the couple
hundred for the original wedding.  And it would be somewhere where there
were no lights in the way of the stars.  And I would have a tailored
Tux.  And that sounds nice.  hmmm, 10th is in 4 years, maybe I can save
enough pennies by then.  I wonder where I can do it?  And I wonder if I
could pull the whole thing off with "honey, don't worry about our
anniversary, I have something planned"
