Hi, everyone! I finally, just 30 minutes ago, mailed out all of our invitations, and I'm SO glad to be done with them! I even sent invitations to Barack Obama, Mark Dayton, and Al Franken, just to see if I get any kind of response. Except for the printing, they were 100% handmade, and have consumed my life for the past 3 weeks, so I'm so happy to finally be able to move on to something else. I've actually got 2 left to mail, one of them to a BM, but the other is to my uncle in Egypt, and I just found out today that all mail service has been cut off to Egypt. Grrr.
The other check is that we finally got the manwear fitted and contracted. We went to Men's Wearhouse in Burnsville with FI and all the GM to get them fitted, now I just have to wait for my nephew (RB), officiant, and possibly my brothers (ushers) and dad to get fitted. I'm still not completely sold on the idea of the ushers and my dad matching the WP.
Are any of you having your ushers and fathers match the WP? I guess I've never paid much attention to whether it's done, but FI and one of the GM seem to think they should also get tuxes. One of my brothers would need to get a new suit anyway since he's taken up running again and lost a bunch of weight, but is it worth it?
