RSVP Time
We have been really busy lately planning out the last details for the wedding. Invitations were sent, as Mike mentioned, and we’ve started to get piles of RSVPs back in the mail everyday. I feel like I should sing the Blue’s Clues “Mailtime” song every afternoon, I get so excited to see who responded.
We have had a couple of declines, but mostly from out-of-towners, which is understandable. Mom’s been visiting for two weeks to help us get stuff done, and our latest project was the seating chart. Post-It Flags and a giant piece of posterboard work wonders. Forgive me if you have to sit near the bathroom – someone has to, and frankly the bathrooms are really nice.
I have to drop Mom at the airport today, but we got a lot done while she was here. We did the cake tasting (with me, Mike, and both of our Moms, which was a great experience – mmm…Bailey’s flavored cake filling), and picked the design and flavors of the cake (chocolate cake with chocolate mousse, and white cake with white chocolate mousse) [Konditor Meister is doing the cake - and I love them because they gave me a box full of pastries when we left]. We picked out our wedding rings the same day, with Mom K. and Mom J. helping (Thank you, Belden Jewelers).
Mom & I also did the girly things – filled the favor tins, got my dress altered, and went for a trial makeup run with the Estee Lauder lady (I <3 Estee Lauder).
Today Mom & I are going to visit Mom J. and the boys, and then I have to drive Mom to the airport, drop Trish’s dress off to her at work, pick up fake flowers and doodads for the cake topper, and then pick Mike up at work.
Whew.
