We ordered the invites about a week ago, and knowing that you are suppose to send them out about 6 weeks before, I was eager to send them out about 2 months beforehand, especially since we indicated on the RSVPs that we wanted them back before July 6, 2015.
Anyways, today was Tuesday and not a very busy day at work today, so I was able to leave by 4:30p, meaning I had just enough time to go to the Post Office before it closed today. Oh, and by the way, I had to show everyone at work our invitations. Sometimes I feel bad showing people I work with stuff for our wedding because no one is invited, but I just met these people like 2 months ago. But I still feel weird sometimes. :-P Hehe. And I found our that one of my co-workers, Kammy, was also married on August 7, and is actually celebrating her 5 year anniversary this year. Very cool.
I went to the Post Office, and I had to wait in line for like 25 minutes, while is so unusual in comparison to Athens Post Office. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes, but that's beside the point. I was excited standing in line the whole time, because I knew when I got up to the front of the line, I was going to give the worker my WEDDING INVITATION and have it weighed, which may seem like something insignificant, but seriously, this is the ONLY time I am going to do this. But when it was my turn, I walked up to the front and handed her the envelope and she did a "manual" weigh with the invitation and said, this isn't too bad, but then she weighed it on the scale, and said it was only 0.8 oz., so it was only going to need 1 stamp. I went ahead and bought 120 stamps, for $58, which is crazy that stamps are THAT expensive now. Anyways, I went home and took Khloe out for a bit, we ran for about a mile, but my stomach hurt so bad, that I had to stop. I think it's because I haven't been drinking as much water as I usually do. (One more thing on my to-do list!)
After an hour or so, I decided to print out the return labels. The name is small, but it's on the return label, so I think that's okay. I talked to Erma, our minister, about meeting in the next few weekends to go over what she's going to say at the wedding, etc. But then I called Erin, and my mom and dad were over Erin and Jon's house, so we all talked for a bit. While we were talking, I was browsing over the names and addresses, looking for any mistakes. I only found one. :) But I printed out the address labels and set up a little work station to stamp the RSVPs, put the return and address labels on the envelope, seal the envelope, put the stamp on the envelope and seal with a W embellishment symbol sticker thingy. :) However, after the first address label, I noticed that the ink on the label had not dried and the ink smeared on the envelope and label, so I made a decision to go ahead and wait until tomorrow. I also called my mom again because I was afraid people wouldn't fill out their name on the RSVPs, so, all these little things that I wasn't thinking about are happening.. Again, making it pretty stressful.
Although, today, I did schedule a food tasting for the Lodge, and we are going this Saturday! Which I'm pretty excited about because my mom and dad will drive down to Columbus, pick up Jason and I and head to Lake Hope. Then, after the food tasting, Bri, my mom, and I are going to Infinity Salon for a hair and makeup consultation. So things are coming together, but it's still pretty stressful. I do however wish that Jason was home with me so I could cuddle with him and he could help me with the invitiations and such, so it was more like the movies getting ready for our wedding. But I should have the inivitaitons out by THursday morning since I'm waiting overnight for the labels to dry before putting them on the envelopes. Hopefully this all works out.
I STILL CAN'T GET OVER THAT I'M MARRYING MY BEST FRIEND IN 66 DAYS!!!! HOLY GEEZZZ!!
Nighty night.
