I've written a lot about Save the Dates. For whatever reason they are a big sticking point for me. They are so final, you know. The guest list is set, names are (hopefully) correct, and now our wedding size is determined on who responds.
After Erik and I prepared the addresses (return and otherwise), Erik's mom stamped and sealed the Save the Dates. She did it like a pro! I wanted her to use a sponge or some other like product to seal the envelopes, but she licked them. (Sorry if that grosses the recipients out). Erik and I had this fear of the glue in the envelopes since that one Seinfeld where Susan licked the envelopes and died. We would hate to be responsible for anything like that. It's been 3 days and Barb's still alive a kickin', so we feel a bit better about it.
Anyway, the Save the Dates went out today except those that we still need addresses for (blame Groom). My apologies to those who have been reading and following this blog who will not receive Save the Dates. As referenced in an earlier post, I've recently reconnected with my half-brothers and that meant cutting some of my friends. I wanted to invite everyone, but that's just not possible. Erik and I split the list 60-90 and I didn't want to go back on that since his family is so large and they're family, so, of course, we want them there. Sorry, family will always trump friends. This is just how it works. If you have planned a wedding, you understand and if you haven't, you will.
There has been so much wedding planning accomplished this last week so expect some more posts in quick succession.
