Invitations are out!

Our wedding invites went in the mail today! Yay! It's such a huge relief to have these out. We got them on Monday evening and I addressed them by hand on Monday and Tuesday nights. Chris and I stuffed, stamped, and sealed most of them last night. Towards 10:00 pm, which is Chris' bedtime, we took a break and he fell asleep on the couch. I was getting annoyed because I wanted to get the invites out today. Mind you, I was crabby from my lack of sleep from addressing envelopes til the wee hours of the morning. So, Chris promised that we would do it in the morning. We got up earlier than usual and finished while watching ESPN SportsCenter.

There was a big debate over including directions in the invite. My family felt that they should be included, Chris didn't want to add anything to take away from the look/feel of the invitation, and I was on the fence. So, we'll probably send out a separate letter to those who RSVP "yes" with directions and other helpful info for the weekend.

Some wedding planning updates:
- Key West was awesome and definitely a fun time. El had designed these really cute "Gina's Bachelorette Entourage 2007" t-shirts for one of our nights out.
- Chris had an equally awesome time in Wisconsin.
- I went down with my parents 2 weeks ago and we have all the reception food and ceremony music picked out.
- We put a deposit on my wedding band this week, which we found at Protea Diamonds. It complements my engagement ring well :) Chris is still searching for his band, but found one that he liked at Protea too.
- Chris and a few groomsmen ordered their rental suits last weekend complete with vest, tie, shirt, and shoes.
