Make that 98

98 & counting...

91 in

We've been getting a pretty steady stream of RSVP cards in. So far - 91 people will be attending our little shin dig.

We are expecting 150 - so there are more to still come in. And I'm guessing we'll be making some phone calls and sending emails last minute.

If you haven't responded yet, visit our wedding webpage and RSVP online.

Have a happy Thanksgiving! We're a month out! YIPPIE!!!

rsvp

invitations went out on november 1 - and already the rsvp cards are flowing in!

i have 14 responses. 10 yes, and 4 no. i've got my excel spreadsheet all set up and ready for an organized attack on these reply cards.

plus - i'm using my theknot.com website, too (http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/AmberMcMeen&AlexanderGates) it's got all kinds of checklists and whatnot to keep me busy for hours.

i've been working on to do lists for myself, and others to get this wedding off the ground.

we're getting closer, folks. yay!!!!!!!!!!

hey mr dj, put a record on...

we went to a wedding this weekend, and the couple had the same dj company we have hired. only their dj was NOT what we were hoping to have. so - i'm setting up a meeting with the dj company hopefully for this wednesday when we're in town doing our engagement shoot. (we didn't do it last week, because it was raining)

i want it specifically written that there will be no chicken dance, no electric slide, no boot scootin' boogie, no cheese. and that there WILL BE SLOW SONGS. because at this other wedding, there was only 1 - and that was the father of the bride dance. i'm sorry - but people feel romantic at weddings, and they want to dance with their sweeties. so slow songs they shall have.

other meetings with other vendors went great - and i had a fitting for my gown on friday - it fit LIKE A GLOVE. It looks like it was made specifically for me.

still working on the assemblage of the wedding invitations. it's a bigger job than i was ready for. hopefully, they'll go out this monday.

otherwise, we're rolling right along.
