We have a menu appointment on Wednesday too!

what is your minimum?



yay for menus! that's the last thing i realllllly wanted to take care of since it holds up me getting the menu printed

our min 125. we invited a tiny bit over 200....and the majority of that is family. we're not even inviting that many friends!!! i would be happy if we were at 125 or even a few people under but we'll see. i think a bunch of people wont be able to make it because of work/it being the holiday...im just waiting for those no's to come back! and its not that we dont like anyone...i just would prefer to have less people so we could have more time with each person and more time with our friends.



That makes sense.
The holiday might make for some no's.
I wish people would just send in the rsvp's!!!!!



I have not gotten back an RSVP in over 4 days now and I still have over 40 out there!! And most are from my side -- I called my mom yesterday and told her to start saying something to people already- they have been out for over 4 weeks and this is not brain surgery!! Just make a choice and send it back in the perpaid envelope!!! I hate people!!!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*

some of my family is trying to be 'funny' and purposely holding on to the rsvps b/c it says they have until oct 26th...they think its funny cuz i want them back (meanwhile they already booked the hotel room & talk to me about the wedding). seriously.

& of course my dad is being ridic with the whole 'and guest' thing after we discussed not to do and guest for my cousins because he specifically asked them if they were dating anyone...they said no and all of a sudden a few weeks later...they are now complaining they want to bring someone...cuz um they are in 'serious committed relationships'

i agree with kim...dont overthink the tags and dont stress over it. everyone will know its a thank you from u guys for your wedding. but if it bothers u that much and u have time and arent stressed...then go for it.

I actually just spoke with my reception hall (Giorgio's) this morning and they said they will be calling next week for the weddings taking place the week we are getting married. No worries, its normally 6 weeks prior!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*

Girls, I FINALLY MAILED MY INVITES TODAY!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! What a GREAT feeling to have them off my hands. I wanted to hand cancel but the post office guy advised me against it and said that it looks neater if you dont because sometimes when you get them hand cancelled, they run them through the machine anyway, so you have 2 markings instead of one.

Anywhooo, we also booked Limos with Royalty last night! Things are coming along!!!!!!

Re: *~* November Is Our Month *~*

I hear you.... we've gone a day here and there without any RSVPs and it's disappointing. And then there's today, where we got 3 back, all yes!

Thanks for the advice about the tags. I love doing graphic and layout design, and I'm a self-admitted perfectionist when it comes to stuff like this, so in a moment of inspiration this afternoon, I redesigned the front of the tags with our monogram and reprinted them. It took all of 45 minutes and I was blasting music while doing them, so it wasn't stressful at all. It took my mind off of being ANGRY with Time Warner for the millionth time b/c our cable and internet was out yet again. I'm just getting online now, almost midnight, after having no service all day!!!!

A quick question..... has anyone gotten their toasting flutes and cake knife/server engraved? I'm contemplating going to Things Remembered at the Queens Center Mall this weekend. Anyone have good/bad reviews? TIA!

6 or 7 years I bought a keychain and got it engraved from Things Remembered (in a different state), and I was happy with the work. I don't know if that's the vote of confidence you were looking for, but their main job is to engrave things, and they've been around for a long time, so I would trust them.
