Working on the guest list...at least we have the stationary ready to go!
I received the postcards a couple weeks ago, but just got around to getting the stamps. Unfortunately, the post office only carried one design for postcard stamps. Fortunately, they ended up being super cute little blue hummingbirds ... and matched the colors of our Save the Dates perfectly:) The hardest part was picking a date. Then the next challenge was the venue. We decided on a hotel venue as we anticipate half the guests will be from out of state.
I don't know why I didn't look at hotel venues from the get go. I kept looking at venues that were stand alone venues, and then I was getting anxious because we could get our hair and makeup done, shuttles for the guests from their hotels, to the ceremony, then possibly to another reception site, back to the hotel for the evening... phew! When there is a timeline to follow, sometimes it doesn't go as planned when you need to get everyone at the same place at the same time... from so many different locations. I'm so happy the last venue we visited ended up being the perfect one! Everything is in one location! It's nice to be able to get ready in the morning at the hotel, the ceremony will be in the outdoor garden area, cocktails in another room, and the reception will be held in the big ballroom. Because it's on a Sunday, the chances are that we will be the only wedding that day (sometimes they have two - one in the morning, and one in the evening!)
