Slowly minimizing the list...

Hm...what do I talk about now? This week I have accomplished some tasks, but not nearly the amount I'd like. We did meet with the event decorater. I really don't know what will come with that. My mom is still uncertain. I think I would feel more comfortable with someone that decorated for a living to help us with the reception. I also met with the cake woman, Patricia. I picked out my cake flavors all by myself, with no help. ...who honestly trusted me to do that? ;-) Nah, it'll be fine. I believe everyone will be happy. But guess what, I'm not telling the flavors! You'll have to find out at the reception! I also informed her of our choice for Tim's groomscake. People that really know Tim will get a kick out of it, I think.

I got our pdfs (electronic format) for the invitations. I'm really excited about it! I told her which ones I loved today and they'll be making the proofs this week! So, I should have proofs in my hand this week. Now I just need to get the rest of the addresses. I doubt they read this, but thank you mom, Granny, Dar, Stacey, and Laura for getting me many of the addresses. I appreciate it. It feels like I tell Tim over and over and over to get addresses and he always forgets or says he'll do them later. But he finally did get me about 13 coworkers addresses today. That brings the invite list to 292.

I finally got the info to The Experience for the salon appointment for the morning of the 15th. Whew. I feel much better. Now I have to come up with a trial makeup and hair run appointment, then schedule the "2-7 days before" appointment. That'll be fun though.

Oh, and then on the 2nd (July), my mom and I have Cliffbreaker's menu tasting at 2:00 pm, then the florist appointment at 12:30 pm. I guess this florist works with our cake woman and with the event decorater that we met with.

And we did register with Macy's. I wasn't thrilled with them. It seems like having that nationwide ownership brought it downhill. Marshall Fields has always been top of the line. A bit dirty in places and very limited selection. I'm thinking about also registering at Bergner's or Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

I think that's it. I did update the "The Wedding Channel" website that we have. It gives more info on the times, locations, etc. I wish I could put more on there!
