Invitations

The invitations should be in the mail early next week. I know. It is a little close to the wedding. About seven weeks. But, I'm hoping those of you who know that you are going to receive an invitation and have already made a decision to come, have already started booking your trip and are not waiting to receive an invitation. If you haven't. Get on it. Don't wait for me. Anyway, the invitations are lovely. They are designed my Daphne's brother and sister-in-law, who have their own graphic design firm and printed by a friend of hers in Atlanta. We really are a little spoiled to have the custom invitations. I can't thank them enough for their generosity in doing all of that. If you live in Macon and need a graphic designer, check them out.
We hand addressed the envelopes for the invitations going to Canadian and international addresses this morning. Daphne's mother and grandmother are doing the ones headed to U.S. destinations. Daphne insisted that we do this by hand. I would have been happy with labels, but it seemed important to her that they be done by hand, so that's what we did. We also addressed them pretty formally. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith for example, which I have to say I found a little strange. Why isn't it Mr. and Mrs. Joe and Jane Smith? Daphne didn't seem to have what I thought was a good explanation on this one other than that's just the way a formal invitation should be. But that's what she wanted so that's what we did. Well, for nearly all of them. Anyway, it took a lot less time than I thought it would, for that I am glad.

We aren't on Emily Post's hit list yet, thank goodness.

Oh, and kisses to my buddy Ben Huber at Worldwide Graphis for the printing (he's the aforementioned friend in Atlanta).
