I don't mean to brag, but I took down the mother of all checklists this break. A special thanks to my MOH for conquering the never-ending list and the rest of my BM's for helping make some wedding decisions and cuts.
Tasks completed:
- Centerpieces
- Bridesmaid's shoes
- Bridesmaid's Jewelry & Mine!
- Bubbles-- wasn't even on my checklist :)
- Table numbers-- which required a stop at the Home Depot, eek!
- Ceremony layout with Readings & Songs
- Created an impromptu "Love Story" Shutterfly book--It was free!
- Wedding invites arrived and addressed! (See notes below.)
- Wedding Makeup Trial--Check.
8. Registry updated.
9. And best of all I SOLD my CAR. (And by me, I should say my Dad. Thanks Dad!) Bye, Bye, my love.
9. 5 I managed to play 2 games of monopoly. I was proudly declared the Master of the Monopoly Rules. Try me.
9.75 I also managed 2 meals at Cooper's Hawk. Not.a.mistake.
** I was very intrigued by this addressing wedding envelopes process. **
Observations while addressing:
1. I am enjoying this more than I think I'm supposed to.
2. I checked 4 different sites about the proper way to address a wedding invitation. The 2nd envelope for a guest is really causing a conundrum. I've had to use 4 different methods of addressing. Names on the same line, different line, Dr's names, oh my!
3. My biggest problem addressing is determining the spacing.. but damn am I killing the "Illinois."
4. It's all about the right writing utensil.
5. How do you address a woman who is divorced, separated, or divorced and widowed? Why are woman so much more complicated than men. Can't we just have a standard "Mr." title.
6. We have a lot of out-of-state- guests.. I should have planned to visit them on my spring break. :)
All in all, Spring break was a stay-at-home success. I am not mad or disappointed that my tanned skin came from a Victoria Secret bottle and that I didn't sip frozen drinks by the calm, crashing ocean waves. I will just have to hold out 60 long days til Nashville to resume my vacationing habits.
