So where is everyone in the planning stage? I am in the midst of rehearsal invites, finishing favors, and dying to get all the responses back so I can tackle the seating chart!!
How about everyone else

Kate - just being paranoid! My Fi is Catholic, I`m not. We both know the priest thru Fi`s Knights of Columbus council, where he is the chaplain. I asked him to take a look at it to make sure I have the order, the terminology, and so on correct.
Laura; my Mom is handling most of the goodie bag details, pretty much along the line of what you are doing. I ordered some cello-bags from Papermart - thin tubes that we`ll fill with some nuts and jelly beans and tie with ribbon. Mom`s going to go to Costco and pick up some things. I like the idea of asprin - maybe Alka Seltzer for after the wedding too! With all the food they`ll need it!!! We`re also going to include a copy of the map to the church and reception, in case any forgot to bring it - along with the times of various events. And maybe a few brochures of the area (Great Neck) with a train schedule.
The favor boxes are cream colored, embossed. You can see them here http://www.romanticflowers.com/boxes.html They are the scallop topped box in the second picture. We`re putting a little clear 'easter grass' inside and 4 wrapped chocolates from a little chocolate company in Arizona, where my family is from. I ordered some ribbon from Papermart to tie them with too. Now I just have to break the news to Fi that since the no one else connected with the wedding lives here in MA near us, he`s going to have to help me assemble 200 favor boxes!!!
Your FI will adjust to the task!!!
we are putting truffles in our table card boxes--same idea--people will love the chocolate!!
