118. Daze

i'm finding myself in a daze lately. a happy daze. a nervous daze. an excited daze. an anxious daze.....


this weekend we were supposed to go up to duluth. that did not happen and that's okay. i had a lot of things to get done and enjoyed being home to do them. i.....

burned more cd's for the favors - still about about 50 left to do

worked on the seating chart. kelly was right - that was hard! luckily i had my future sister and brother in law over (along with chris) to help me out. we figured it out. i think. i hope. i'm not going to worry about it anymore. it's not like people are going to be chained to those chairs - they just have to eat in them. hopefully no one has any problems with my arrangements. i hope. ugh. stop worrying!

was going to work on place cards. ended up not doing so. well sort of. they are supposed to be color coordinated according to what dinner people chose (roasted chicken, tangerine glazed chicken or mushroom pasta) - i chose to do the colors of the wedding. brown, gold and ivory. pretty. but a) our printer is almost out of ink and we are poor and b) printing on brown would not work on our printer c) i don't have some people's names - just a Mr & Mrs John Smith or something of the sort d) i bought special pens to write them out myself but it didn't look as good as i thought it would...

where am i going with this? i've decided to just post my brother at the sign in table and he'll have a guest list with names, table numbers and food choice. people will tell him their names - he will tell them their table number and then hand them the appropiate colored tent card to place at the table so the waiter knows what they are eating. make sense? tacky? i need your opinion!

that was it. oh. while carrie provided with me music selection the rest of you (if anyone else actually reads my blog...) did not give me any music help! i've upped the decades to include the 80's - who doesn't love dancing to great 80's music? send your suggestions!

oh. got my garter in the mail :) very cute.

that is all for now. oh. except for this. i'm frustrated. i have a crap of a master guest list. it doesn't include addresses. i wish to god i had made this when my mom and i were doing all the invites. i had to text people for addresses. e-mail them. and now i don't have those things anymore. perhaps i'll have to have david make everyone include their address in the guest book - yes! brilliant! i was dreading figuring out the thank-you's.....

okay. that is all. for now. for real.

Girlfriend...that SUCKS about your master invite list!! What were you thinking? The LIST is very very important. Try to cull together as many as you can NOW so that afterward you're not hunting people down. If you are in touch with people (via email, blogging, FB, whatever) get their addresses and WRITE THEM DOWN (excel is great for this) so you can get back from your honeymoon and do your thank yous worry free! They're a pain to do but OH SO important! (IMHO, anyway).

As far as the rest - is it possible to have 2 people giving out the table numbers and colored tents? You might end up with a HUGE cluster f**k of people lined up - people that just want to sit down, enjoy a drink, etc. Another option - spring for another ink cartridge, print them ALL on ivory and include a colored dot for the menu choice. Just a thought.

MORE MUSIC! (I've been thinking about this one....) - Footloose (since you're including the 80's), Madonna's Ray of Light (I heard it today and thought of dancing to it), Fat Boy Slim's Kung Fu Fighting...I'm sure there'll be more.

EEEEK - the countdown is REALLY REALLY on now!!!
