Most of my invitations have finally been sent out. It's a veritable tsunami of paper and card stock.

Invitations have been sent to more than 300 people.

Granted, a lot of those people will not be able to attend. We sent invitations to a lot of my family in the Philippines and other countries. For example, Hoochie Momma is in France (although it would be really awesome if she and her family could come.) Stink Pants' also has a lot of relatives that may not be able to make the drive from across the Great Lake for various reasons.

Still, there are a lot of people I would've liked to invite but can't yet until I get some definite "I can't come" responses. Among the people in the second tier of our wedding invitations are a lot of our college friends. Please, please understand, it's not because I don't want you to be there! It's just that I'm not made of gold bullion (or more correctly... my dad's not made of gold bullion).

Here are some pictures of my invitation assembly line.


I've taken over the dining room table.


Calligraphy! I had to search all over town only to find a calligraphy marker in Rite Aid. Guess they stock more than drugs and party snacks there.


Pretty seal! Almost done!


To the mailbox with ye!

I just spent $103 on postage for invitations. I didn't even buy enough. I'll need more, but I figured that would be enough to start out. Sheesh.

What's nice though, the post office now offers wedding stamps. They're purple and greenish. Pretty! Much nicer than those plain American flag stamps. Did you know it costs $0.63 to send out a wedding invitation! Dang those heavy inserts and fancy cards! It's a good thing I love my invitations, or I'd be a little more bitter about it.

When I went to the post office earlier, I thought I would get everything done in one shot and apply for a new passport. I had my application all filled out and my passport photos cut to precision! I was so prepared! Or so I thought.... There I stood, beaming, ready to have one more thing done for the wedding, and the lady asked if I had my birth certificate.

Doh!

I knew I needed it. I also knew exactly where it was. It was sitting at home in drawer. So now I need to make another trip back to the post office.

Will it ever end?

Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to get two little girls who are a couple hundred miles apart to agree on a dress?

It ain't easy

... but it's possible


Here's the flowergirl dress in all its glory! It's called Pearl Ballerina and you can find it at The Ballerina Collection.

It took a couple emails, some visits, and a game of hide-and-seek, but at least the choice is made. If it had been up to Mom or Stink Pants though, they'd be wearing something completely different :). Guess it's a good thing I asked.

I want my flowergirls to feel like princesses, so I plan on getting crowns and wand/scepters for them too :)

I'm so excited for them! The cuteness quotient of my wedding is going up!

Yes, the cuteness does increase by adding little girls, but so does the danger level. The two weddings that I've been to thus far this summer featured walking up the aisle. None of these children actually made the entire trip from the back of the church to the front. They seem to get as far as where their parents sit and no further. My recommendation: hide their parents and put candy in the front.

I'm more worried about Stink Pants' nephews. They're the three bearers (rings, bible and coins). The three of them togther anywhere = insanity. I'm just hoping they won't run down the aisle screaming.
