Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Last night, not only did we get an invite to Beck’s wedding, but we worked on our Save The Dates.

Am I the only bride whose fiance doesn’t have ANYONE’s address (especially family)?  And you have to nag, nag, nag for him to get them?  I feel like I should just facebook friend everyone so I can get them myself.  Mind you, we send out Christmas Cards every year, so this shouldn’t be so hard!

System:  A notecard with each person who is invited with their address on it.  In the right-hand corner, either A or B group.  Next to the A is STD for Save the Date when we send it.  This is all getting mucked up by missing addresses.

Other System:  I stamp and Brendan stuffs.  Then I wet the envelope with a wet paper towel, and he seals it and puts it on a pile with a book on it (initially on the floor, nice move).

We are 90% done, though.  Do you wait to send them all out at the same time?  Or send them as they are done?  I think I need to double check them all with the cards before I send them.  Arg!

There’s nothing quite like a stack of STD’s topped with a copy of Permanent Midnight.

I want candy!

Candy Escort Cards!

Flip Flop

I bought these flippies for the reception.  Love them!  They are sitting in a box under the bed waiting for me to wear them.  They have almost a 2″ heel.

I am thinking of getting these for my Maids, too.  Maybe in a nice rose color?

Or just black, I suppose.

Stamp it!

First, I wanted to use Eames stamps for our Save The Dates

But they are all out of them at the post office.

I settled for these.

Awww, love.  I recommend ordering stamps online.  It’s fast, convenient, and you don’t get stuck with the Christmas stamps that are leftover from 3 months ago.  Waiting for these to come in the mail……………

Tonight I will start addressing invitations.

Engagement book

This will also be our guest book, people will sign the pages. Our photog wasn’t happy about the way the book looked, because the cover image is a bit “sideways”.

She and Brendan want to switch it this way:

I just love the image so much that I can’ t complain.

What do you think?

This will be me.

Deep Breath

Done.  I’m done with my project.  And I turn 28 today.  I woke up to Brendan calling me an “Old Bag”.  Lovely.

I really want to get my Save the Dates out this week.  Our wedding is just about 6 months away.  Eek!  I need stamps!

And I still need to decide on Invites.  Oh dear, so much to do.

Floral Questions

So we got a fab quote for flowers, from a woman that is trying to jump-start her flower business.  Like really, really, dirt cheap.  But she was 45 minutes late to our first meeting, and is now very slow in the contract.

Do we stick with her and save money or go to someone else and guarantee better service?

Crabby, and not in a Lobster way.

I apologize ahead of time for my crankiness.
I am SOOOOOOOO cranky. I have spent the past 2 Saturdays at meetings from 8-1. I have to go again tomorrow. I also have a huge project (National Board Certification) that I want to finish before Monday, so there goes my Sunday. This is not some little paper. It is 4 15-page papers, each with 15 pages of documentation to go with them, and 2-15 minute videos. I’ve been working on it for 7 months and I’m still not done. So I don’t get a weekend. And I don’t see B very much either. This sucks. I just want my life back, or just a few Friday nights where I can go out because I don’t work in the morning. Blerg.

Make Me Up!

I got a quote for on-site makeup. $150 for me (with eyelashes), with required 2 others at $75 each. I would like to get the Maids makeup done, but $450 for 5 people? Does that seem a little steep?

Should I shop around? I am also a little stressed about the bachlorette/shower stuff. Trying to accomodate everyone.  That stuff shouldn’t be my problem, right? Then why am I worrying about it?

Blerg.
