Hope you all enjoy my invitations as much as I do!
Here is the pile waiting to be mailed.
There are a few more that need to be assembled, well the invitations are all assembled, But I need addresses to be printed on the envelopes of the last minute invites. Is anyone else having issues with your parents inviting people after you say enough is enough? I know my guest list has grown at least 10 people. Maybe when the invitations go out I can give her the excuse, I don't have anymore invitations...so NO more invitees!
DF - is healing but the doctor says it will be at least a month of pain and at least six months to heal. GREAT. Did you see we are only 4 months from wedding day? Yikes.
Bridesmaid Dresses - I ordered them yesterday. They are due in around the first of October (cross fingers for sooner)
Bridesmaid/groomsmen drama - I am having a little issue with one of my bridesmaid and my groomsman. I can't get a hold of either one. I have left a few messages for them to call me (or DF) because I would like to speak with them and see how things are going. I am getting no answers and no call backs. Its been about 2 months now. At first I thought well maybe they are just busy...but both of them (who never met) for 2 months !?!?
Thanks I needed that vitural scream.
Rehersal Dinner - It is a brides worst nightmare to hear anything about her wedding plans being "Cheap and Tacky" These are the excate words used by my FFIL used regarding the rehersal dinner. Orginally I was planning just doing pizza or something quick because I am spending so much for the wedding, to pay for a rehersal and ..and.. and.... its just more than I want to do and planning more than I want. Well needless to say my feelings were hurt when those two poisonous words flowed so freely from his mouth. I know he didn't mean it to hurt.. but..it did. This entire converstation came up when I was talking about how the place I orgnially was planning was just not going to work. I came to this conclusion when they said they have a main table seating a max of 24 people and I am going to have around 30 (give or take). This would mean they would be seating 6 people at a entire other table. I don't want anyone to feel left out so plans are changing.
We are looking at these possible new venues. Tortilla Joes, Naples, Jazz Kitchen, Napa Rose, Steakhouse 55, and Catal. If you have eaten in any of these places and have an opinion, Please let me know. I have never eaten at any of them. So any review is welcome. Hopefully over the next few trips to disneyland I will get a chance to try them.
My other issue with the rehersal dinner is opposing parents. DF's family feels we should have a seperate room. This would allow people to get up and share stories of us (please don't) and wonderful memories. My mom feels that we should NOT have a seperate room because she doesn't want the reception to be over shadowed by the rehersal. She doesn't want people to say "Wow, the rehersal was so much better than the reception" Partly, I feel like she thinks my reception will be, as my FFIL so eloquently put it "Cheap and Tacky".
This is where I am this week. Next week I won't have such a big update since its my birthday on Sunday. Hopefully I will have the rehersal place chosen and reserved.
