Can't Turn Back Now

I just dropped off the invitations at the post office.

I honestly can't believe I actually made the deadline I set for myself. These were a beast to put together.

The mix up was taken care of and I got the inner envelopes only a day after I filed the complaint. The next day my friend Katie came over, and she, my sister Alison, and I did a sort of assembly line and stuffed all of the inner envelopes. The following two days I spent printing the addresses of all our guests. I hated this process. I didn't know half the people I was making envelopes for, so I was extra cautious to not make any mistakes. Then this past Saturday I wrote the first names of all the guests invited on the inner envelopes to avoid confusion if I allowed a plus one, or that family's children to attend. By Sunday they were ready to go.

This was my set up all day on Saturday. I wrote each guest's name on a stuffed inner envelope, wrote the excel sheet # that matched each guest on the inside of the RSVP so I know who sent one if they forget to write their name on the M____ line, then stuffed their printed outer envelope with the inner, and sealed them. It was a long process.

Of course Jimmy decided to go golfing that morning so I was on my own with the invitations AND the puppy. Fritz sat next to me (sometimes on me) the whole time being a good little boy. I let him chew on the cardboard box that held the invitations. I was just happy he wasn't roaming the house getting into all kinds of trouble.

I bride needs to keep hydrated!! The Tervis Tumbler I got at my bridal shower the weekend before. Jimmy got a groom one, too.

I still have a few to finish. I'm hunting down a few last minute add-in addresses, but after those are out I never want to see another one of my invitations again. Seriously.

Now we wait for the RSVP's to roll in!!
