Wedding Planning Update:
- I am entering the names and addresses online into a database for the outer and inner envelopes to be printed for Julie's wedding invitations. This is way more involved than I anticipated. I have done 15 so far. I have about 200 to go! I have already typed the guest list in a spreadsheet document with tabs for several different categories of guests. My columns include name, address, RSVP, and estimate. The estimate column is where I guessed how many, if any people from each family would attend the wedding. This is the number I used to determine how much food to order from the caterer. As I get RSVPs (and I really, really hope people will respond--I am including an email address and number to text for responses), I will adjust my estimate for a hopefully final accurate headcount for the caterer. I thought I could use this same document and just email or upload it to the invitation website, but of course it has not been that simple. I have to type each entry on the invitation's website, one at a time! AND....it will not save them to use again for Olivia's invitations! So I am going to price having them printed locally, if I can just give them my spreadsheet or upload it somehow, and if it is not too expensive.
- I printed out the wedding ideas photos.
- I met with the caterer for Olivia's wedding and planned her reception.
- I decided I may want a different dress to wear for Olivia's wedding.
- I scheduled the alterations of Olivia's wedding dress while she is home for spring break.
- I researched and compiled options for Olivia's rehearsal dinner and sent them to Joy. (Believe it or not, this took almost four hours.)
- Julie's finance', Big Sam, has gotten all but one of the groomsmen/usher's measurements for the suit rentals. Yay Big Sam! :)
My back/shoulder/neck is still bothering me. I tried to do some housework yesterday, and I simply could not. My house is getting really dirty! The kids are helping me clean, and I am so thankful for that. I am really hoping that by next Monday I will be as good as new and can spend the week catching up on housework.
Camper Update: I have bought all kinds of cute dishes, towels, bedding, and such for our tiny little camper. I also have bought pretty fabric to make curtains and cover the dinette cushions. However, I have not found the time to do any sewing. The kids are anxious for me to make our camper cute....maybe I can sew some today.
Happy Thursday to you!
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about Better Than Before. I had to finish Huckleberry Finn for my English class, and I haven't made time to read the next chapter in Better Than Before. I will this weekend.
Oh man, I can't imagine planning two weddings! Forget cleaning; you need a massage! ;) Actually, I think you're amazing and wish you'd just come run my house for me, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your camper decor!!! I will say a prayer that your injury heals quickly. That's so frustrating.
ReplyDeleteYes, just remember what Elisabeth Elliott said....I think she said it....Just do the next thing! Two weddings in one summer is a lot! Your girls are lucky to have your help and guidance and organizational skills. 😃
