Monday and Tuesday I worked on wedding stuff.
Monday and Tuesday I had headaches.
NO fun.
I did the paper invitations, a multi-step process:
find name list and print
count, re-count to see if we have enough invitations
barely. 37 needed, had 40
whew
type addresses and save
learn how to make labels on computer (yeah me!)
cross fingers and print labels
yeah it worked
put mailing label and stamp on all rsvp cards
take 2 asprin
put invitation in decorative envelope
(was thankful for paperless invites by now)
then put those in mailing envelope
find brides registry list
double check spelling on it
find mistakes, correct'em
answer phone
turn a down lunch invitation
format and print registry card
get FOB to cut them up
put labels on mailing envelope
add rsvp and registry card
put return labels on
(doubly thankful for paperless invites)
then stamps
double check EACH one and seal
MAIL THEM !!!
Did a happy dance.
Wednesday no headache!
shopping for wedding stuff.
buy some candles and ribbon.
wish bride was closer to discuss other options.
wish bride would answer her phone to discuss other options
go ahead and purchase
figure bride will adjust if needed
get things for a trip not wedding related
buy bacon, FOB eats it daily
grandma of bride gets wedding invitation in the mail
pronounces it beautiful
I said " look at the stamp!"
It's the little things.
