While we've been home we have done the following:
1) Hired a DJ (friends of the family who have been DJ's for 25 years, they gave it to us as a wedding gift for FREE! SO GREATFUL!
2) Hired a cake maker
3) Hired a photographer
4) Had meetings with the Pastor and looked over the church
5) Bought the flower girl dress
6) Got all the guys tuxedos fitted and rented
Holy smokes. We have been so busy! The bridesmaid dresses I don't have to go to, so they can get them at any time. They just have to say the designer and the dress number so that everyone has the same dress.
We are having our engagement party on Saturday at Amanda-Dawn and Chris' house. A lot of people are going to show up, its going to be really fun. We are taking Amanda-Dawn and Chris out for dinner tomorrow for Chris' birthday and to thank them for hosting the party and letting us have a huge amount of people in their new house.
Of course we have to order our invitations, but we already have them picked out and we know where we are getting them from. We have a guest list of 160 so that's how many invitations we have to mail out. We don't expect 160, we expect about 125-140. Still, that is a huge number. We are ordering the invitations as soon as we get back to Manitoba and then once that is all done, its basically a waiting game from then on. I love that I have so many things so early. I really didn't want to have so many things to do last minute. Don't get me wrong, I am still EXTREMELY stressed out, but at least things seem to be going mine and Jeff's way.
Well I guess that's all for now. Today we are going to the mall for a little shopping! Oh and on a side note, I won a Kobo Wifi eReader from the official Kobo site last week and they are sending it to me in Manitoba, how awesome is that!?
