Help!!!!!!

I just called my church to see if I could get maps to the church and they said 'Sorry, we don't give those out anymore.' I freaked and replied 'Then what am I supposed to do?!?!?!' and she goes
'Most of the girls are doing them online.'

Tell me how, exactly, I am supposed to put together a 'map' when people are coming from 25 different directions? Plus FH doesn't want to pay for heavy cardstock to print them on once we figure this out - and I REFUSE to stick tacky white copy paper printed off the Internet in my invitations!!!!! Help! Any ideas?

Re: Help!!!!!!

You can get the directions from map quest. Plug in different locals and then print them out. You can go to Michaels and buy cardstock that is the same color as your invitation.

Re: Help!!!!!!

What a pain in the A$$!!!!!
Can you just type out directions on the computer from all areas i.e. from the city, from Staten Island and print them on nice paper? (I took paper from my office- hee hee) like I said, pain, but it might be a nice inexpensive way to solve the problem???
Are you mailing them this weekend?
Good luck Rach! Let me know if I can help you in any way

Re: Help!!!!!!

You don't need specific directions for every place people are coming from. You just have to print out the directions from the major high ways.

Also, check your FM:)

Re: Help!!!!!!

can you ask your church to fax you a copy of what they used to give out so you can copy their text??

Re: Help!!!!!!

exactly what Meghan said..

relax!! My church didn't have them either

I had to do mine on my own.

Use mapquest to get directions from all points and then make up your own..

you could always print them out on vellum if you don't like the white?

Our church didn't have directions either. I bought paper from Staples (it was a dull shine on one side and flatter on the other) ACTUALLY it pretty much matches JAs direction cards (getting married there too). I printed out directions (no maps). I did from the West on one side and the East on the other side. They actually cam out looking pretty good.

Our church didn't give directions either. We just made them up ourselves. Use mapquest.

Re: Help!!!!!!

oooooh Rachel! I'm so sorry!! What the other girls suggested is probably the easiest, less stressful way to go... I hope it all works out...

I wouldn't worry about the 25 different locations, just give directions from Northern State, LIE and Southern State and I think they will ALL find your Church!

Don't flip, if there is anything I can do for you, just ask! I'm slow at work so if you need some typing done, I'm available!
