Wedding Milestone- Invitations Sent!

After countless hours of cutting, scoring, gluing, printing, and stuffing, we have sent out our invitations! There are still a couple of exceptions for people missing addresses and printing mishaps, but our guests should be receiving their invitations within the next few days. Thanks to my girls Matilde, Show, Michelle, Corinne, and Nikki who attended my 4 invitation-making parties. Edwin also stepped up and did quite a lot of stuffing, gluing, and printing. He and Sujay can now discuss the war stories of wax seals, embossing, stuffing, and the differences between ecru and Stardream Quartz.

If you can't wait for snail mail, you can actually begin to RSVP online now at the wedding website using the link to the right. Don't forget the password is "sanfrancisco." All you have to do is select "RSVP Here" and then put in the first and last name of the person on the front of the envelope. If you're married, we most likely used the husband's name as the key. We're trying to do all the RSVPs online since we have been known to forget to RSVP (we actually thought we had already sent it in!) and we have heard of others losing the RSVP or worse yet- the post office never delivered the invite/reply card. I'll let you guys know later if we recommend this method or if we end up with a mess!


Happy birthday to Edwin's mom today. Edwin and Jeannette are going to be with her tomorrow in LA, so I'm sure they will have fun celebrating.

Mishap of the week- I rode my bike to work on Monday and I was rushing home to get to the dry cleaners and return something I had bought. The stores closed at 7PM and I got home at 6:30PM. Good news, right? Well, it would have been except that I left my wallet, cell phone, and keys at work. Edwin was not home and I had to wait outside my garage door for over an hour until he got home. The good news was that I had my computer and was close enough to get internet access from our wireless network.

Airport update- so I am in Seattle today until Friday. I showed up to the airport at 7:45AM for a 9AM flight. It took slightly longer, but the lines were not as bad as I anticipated. I did have to check my bag but I was able to carry on my computer. You are also allowed lipstick and deodorant as carry-ons. (I heard that you couldn't.) Toothpaste is not allowed and neither are drinks allowed on the plane. (even the drinks you buy in the airport) The funny thing was that I was on such autopilot that I walked all the way to the car rental kiosk when I realized that I forgot to pick up my bag at baggage claim. (I normally just walk off the plane and go my merry way.)
