I didn't have to work today thanks to Rosh Hashana and I got more done than I planned! We got our marriage license so we can officially get married as of 1:23 tomorrow afternoon
I had my floral sample and I loved it. One flower wasn't in season yet so the florist used a subsitution for today and I loved it. He put an orange gerber daisy in place of a flame dahlia. It looked so much more fun and festive that I decided to use the gerber daisy instead.
After that I went to the limo place to pay my balance and give pick up locations.
I made a spread sheet for the table assignments once I assign numbers to each guest. FMIL did her side of the seating assignments already so I did mine. I have to make a few adjustments, but it seems pretty set. At one point I had a table of 6 and a table of 7 and no way to combine them or place these guests elsewhere. It was frustrating, but I think my mom fixed it. We have tables of 10, they said you can squeeze 11 but no more than that. It was more difficult than I planned. Next will be dropping escort cards at the calligrapher later in the week.
The only other thing that I planned to do is write thank yous for wedding gifts that were sent with declines and for a few shower gifts of people who couldn't attend (I'm really embarassed, one gift I've had for over a month.)
My one wedding gripe of the day: I invited everyone with a guest because I didn't like to not be invited with a guest when I was single. I was in a sorority in college (which through 2 of my sisters met my FI, as he is their sister). I am still close with my big sister and I pledged with her blood sister. My big sister was invited to the wedding, her sister was not. My big sister was too busy to mail in her RSVP but texted me on Friday that it was in the mail, our deadline was Thursday. I received it today and she is coming with a guest, I am pretty sure her sister. I got along with her sister in college but we were never "friends". I didn't invite her to my wedding and don't really want her there. I know you can't control the guest you guests bring, but isn't that common sense to not bring someone who isn't invited to the wedding? I tried to be sneaky and texted her asking the name of her guest for escort cards, but she hasn't responded. My sneakiness will look like a true inquiry at the wedding because no one has "& guest," everyone, except her, responded with their guests' name.
I was trying to think of things I need to do and I honestly can't think of much more that needs to be done before the wedding. I think I'm done.
