We officially have guest at our wedding!
0
We finally, FINALLY finished invitations this weekend. A lot of good that Monday off did me; I’m like almost a week behind schedule. It’s okay tho, as I believe we’re still within the traditional timeframe of 6-8 weeks. We sent our first batch Friday to friends and relatives that are either further away or we don’t see as often, and today we sent the last of them. (With the exception of three invitations of people who really need to give us their addresses. *ahem*ERIC*cough*) I’ll go into greater detail about invitations once more people have had a chance to receive them. I’m quite happy with them.

The last batch of invites, including the bundles heading for Taiwan
I’m not off the hook yet tho. I have quite a few of things I still need to work on for the wedding (ceremony music, name cards, accessories, booze), with the most urgent being the working on my wedding webpage. And I’m not going to link it yet since it’s still majorly under construction, but the website is at least functional, with the most important functional function being the RSVP feature. I am so, SO grateful that someone has already developed a Wordpress plugin for RSVPs. It’s called the Google Docs RSVP Guestlist Plugin, and it uses a Google Docs spreadsheet, which I thought was interesting. The plugin could still use more features and allow more customization, but at the moment, it seems quite functional. The fact it uses Google spreadsheets makes it easy to tally the attendance and edit people’s entries. I had to modify it a little bit to fit our needs, so we’ll see up to the wedding if anything breaks. So far tho, it has been a great timesaver. We even got our first RSVP today! (Yay! ONE guest!) I guess the wedding’s officially on now. Scary!
Now that invites are out and we’ve got hits on the wedding website, Kelvin and I checked out Bed, Bath & Beyond today to attempt to fill out the registry. I could do without a registry, but I’ve been told that sometimes traditional American guests are totally lost without one. We ran around with the scan gun and managed to find some items, but it’s still iffy, especially with the stuff Kelvin was putting on there. (1000-thread count sheets… I mean, really?) At least it’s more than 4 items now.

Anyway, with invites done, I should have more time to post again. Apologies for the lack of content the last couple weeks.
New thing I learned today: The higher the thread count for the down comforter, the more dense the fabric is and the less likely down feathers will pop out of the comforter. Also, many down comforters come with warranties that range from 10-years to lifetime.
