I've been MIA

Hey everyone!  Holy cow, it looks like I've missed a lot (Drama)!  So, I got my invitations out earlier this week, talk about the most tedious thing I've EVER done!!  I did every. single. one. all. by. myself.  RSVPs started coming back today!! Yay!!  13 people are coming.  As far as the KGTG, I can't make it on the 12th guys.  I'm kinda getting married that day.  I'd like to go to a GTG though!  What's everyone been up to??

    I think someone else is unable to make it that day also...so another date is kinda in the works!   We just ordered our inviites a few weeks ago on Etsy and I am waiting for the lady to tell me she has sent them out. I am scared to get to the addressing part....I know I will be doing them alone too!  Do you have any tips/suggestions for making it less of a painful process?

    I should have pulled out the wine lol.  So, that might help <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />.  I think the worst part for me was the fact that I was doing them with a ruler taped to the table to get them to look as neat as possible.  This definitely took a lot longer than if I had just wrote them.  However they looked awesome, so I guess it was worth it.  My biggest problem is that I wanted people to have at least a month to RSVP.  If I had them earlier, I would have done them in small batches.  Or, if I knew I was going to get them when I did, I would have pushed the RSVP date back a week.  I guess I just wasn't prepared for them to be that time consuming.

    This is why I made sure I had plenty of time to get my invitations addressed. I do a few every day, and so far it hasn't been too bad.

    As for the ruler thing, try drawing straight lines on an index card with a permanent marker. Then, when you address an invite, stick the index card in the envelope and the marker lines should show through, giving you straight lines to write on.

    Good luck!

    Welcome back!!! 

    Sorry about the 8/12 thing.  I checked the list at the top and tried to just pick a random date that wasn't spoken for.  I forgot that there are a bunch of girls not listed yet and a few of us not listed as old and married already yet.  lol

    We cna pick a different date or just do 2... I think it will be much easier to get everyone together in the middle of winter b//c there's never much going on then.... but I don't want to wait that long!!!  lol

    lol, no problem.  It was just kind of funny, because of all days that one there is absolutely no way.  I really do hope we can find a date that we can all get together, I think it would be really fun!  My schedule is pretty clear aside from 8/12 and 7/23 (Bachelorette party).  Hopefully this coming week will be less crazy than the past couple so I can actually get on here!  I hate missing all the fun.
