Party Prep!
The big event August 4th is suddenly very real and not far enough away! Today I booked our rental equipment - tables, chairs, linen, tent, dishes, etc - and chose a caterer. But haven't begun to discuss the menu. I need Richard for that, of course. Waiting even one more day to book the date with either company would have been disastrous. As it is, I'm on a wait list for dinner plates, and ended up with blue chairs. Yikes! But at least most of my invited guests have RSVP'd so I could guestimate numbers. If you haven't confirmed with me, please do ASAP!
If you're checking here for the registry, we're still a couple of weeks away from deciding on a list. (Is it possible to even agree on what we'd like?!) Ideally it would require taking Richard shopping, and not just to the electronics stores.... So please check again at the end of this month. Sorry to provide you with less time for shopping, but I need time to figure out how we're going to do this effectively without registering at stores.
For now I just wanted to mark today as the official start of the process, when we begin handing out large amounts of our hard-earned cash. (Thank goodness I decided not to spend money on paper invitations - renting every last chair, glass and fork is expensive.) But we're thrilled that so many of our friends and family are coming that we need to hire a caterer to feed you all. (Just once, mind you, not the whole weekend!) I just hope their dinner can meet Richard's high standards.
I would love to go on, so much to share re the labour that has already gone into preparing for the event, but must run to the post office instead. Hopefully I can post photos etc this weekend. Do check back. Cheers!
