invitation nation

lately my favorite thing to do on monday nights is to assemble invitations while watching it's always sunny in philadelphia.  i'm sure that's a time-honored bridal tradition somewhere.  tonight D helped with my little invitation sweatshop.  earlier this weekend i roped the girlchild into helping.  i have yet to make the boychik lick envelopes, but he did have to go through the agonizing process of picking out paper.  in short, we're all working hard.

we also went to costco and cash and carry this week to price out food for the reception.  did i tell you that we went to see a caterer?  and that they wanted $3,000 for soup and sandwiches and salad?   yeah, i had a slight heart attack.  nothing too major, mind you, because the best thing about being us is that 1) we've both catered before, 2) we have a lot of catering/food service relative and 3) we're willing to roll our sleeves up and get into the food ourselves.  in fact, today we saw some things that gave us a million good ideas, and all i will say is this; the theme is decidedly picnic-y.  i'm happy!

so far things are coming together nicely.  i'm not as stressed out as i should be (or expected) but maybe that will just come closer to the actual date.  we'll see!
