It is finished....

That's right folks--here I am mailing the last wedding invitations. We had most of them mailed and then had to correct a couple of addresses and send some out today for the last time! Do I hear the heavens rejoicing? Now if anyone ever suggests that they want to make their own wedding invitations, quickly throw their bodies to the floor, splash them with a bucket of water, force them to stay awake for four days straight and then convince them that there is no way that they want to do that!!!!
We saved a load of money, but there comes a time when you wonder was it worth the time and energy? The funny part was printing of the envelopes because my regular printer would not take these envelopes. Neither would our other two HP printers at home. Neither would my HP printer at work or the HP printer I got back that I had loaned out to someone else (who I might add at this point returned it unusable....but that can go on another blog one day!!!). It was a little Dell printer that Mary Beth had given to Steve that was top loading that decided it liked these slick paper envelopes and would not eat them, fold them, mutilate them or jam them beyond recognition if we fed them into it.

They are finished. Vellum. Reply cards. Ribbons...Ribbon punches...postage....numbers on the back of reply cards in case someone sends theirs back without their names.....

Ahhhhhhh.......now for today's list: napkins (will they really cost over $100 just for napkins???), will Mary Beth find her expensive bridal shoes that she thinks she left at her last fitting of her gown????, book the room for my mom and dad, rent the van for the bachelorette party on Saturday night, why have the cake people NOT called me back in days???, need to get the stuff for bridesmaid luncheon invitations that need to go out ASAP (isn't EVERYTHING ASAP at this point????) , think think think , out of town family bags for their hotel rooms, the kitchen remodeling....is Eddie there working today...will it be finished in time? got to finish making the guest book, is Dancing with the Stars premiere tonight????, finish tying ribbons on the programs (I'm on 28 out of 200--will 200 programs be enough???), don't forget to pick up disposable cameras for the tables, and what are those things the girls said that a girl has to have to go under a dress....spanx????? MUST get some of those.....and oh yes......get back to work! Who can work and focus on work with a wedding just a few weeks away!!!!
