Oh my!! Oh my!! Who would have expected that making your own invitations would cause such dysfunction? Dave and I have been sitting at the kitchen table for near two hours now trying to match colors and figure out sizes for paper while not trying to break the bank. Yuck! Dave, who is now well versed in all the different shades of crème, let’s off a little yelp now and then when he almost finds something. It’s charming.
Invitation catalogues are scattered on the floor all around us – they were unhelpful – and as the frustration rises, so does the heat in the dining room. Dave just got up and got some ice cream to cool himself off. This has proven to be quite an undertaking and not once have I wished I was doing anything else.
On Tuesday, my maid of honor Sarah, Maria, and Grace (the lady doing my flowers) all met with the reception hall to get ideas about centerpieces and décor for the big parrrrtaaay. It was nice to see the inside of it again and I’m so excited, it really is a neat place. We are in the full swing of things now, I’ve ordered more than my fair share of wedding supplies off theknot.com today; thank goodness for super sales.
I am meeting with Grace again on Saturday to talk more about the flowers, I’m really excited! Grace is such a neat lady and her enthusiasm is such a blessing.
I heard back from our violinist and he is good to go! I just have to figure out a pianist and the music for the ceremony is taken care of. Scratch that, the people PLAYING the music are almost taken care of; choosing the music for the ceremony is an entirely different matter.
We are looking into videographers and have been disappointed thus far, I’m hoping our luck turns around but we shall see. I hope to have good news in that area in my next blog, until then it is time to get back to work on the invites!! 
Cheers!!
