1. I got the invites out! Phew! And I've actually received a few of my neat-o tear-off RSVP postcards already.
Word of caution, ladies and gents: My invitations are of a fold-up and seal style. When I took them to my local post office, the counter employee told me that, if I didn't Scotch-tape up one side of the invite, they would, at best, get mauled in the machine and worse, they might not make it to their destination at all. Take this into consideration when choosing your invites.
You may be wondering why I didn't just have them hand-cancelled. I did. But today's postal process involves more than one machine, so even after the very nice lady hand-cancelled my invites, they still had to go through a machine that can read the handwritten addresses and another that sorts the items.I'm still glad I chose the fold-n-seal invites, because it was less paper and thus less waste, and a postcard stamp (for the RSVPs) is still cheaper than a regular one. Although there weren't any love-themed postcard stamps, so I chose these lovely tropical fruit ones instead:
Very spring-y!
2. I have been overestimating the length of my dress - all this time, I've been shopping for heels, and I finally realized, while trying on some hooker-height Jessica Simpson carribbean blue heels, the dress is too short for any heel.That's right - I will have to wear flat shoes. Flat shoes with a dress! Something I've never done before.
I tell you, I wasn't happy. At all. I know, no one else can see, much less care, about my shoes. That's not the point. The point is that I wanted to wear heels. Me. Me me me me me me me.
I finally get selfish about something for "my" day, and I can't even do that. That's the point.
I'm getting over it. However, I need some inspiration on what kind of flat to wear. It has to be light, somewhat casual, but I'm afraid a flat sandal will be too casual. Arrggh!

i love those fruit stamps! i see me using them for something or other! sorry you can't wear your jessica simpson hooker heels. trust me, though, your feet will thank you by the end of the night. :-) i wore flip flops (okay, so i did get married on a very small sunny island) and kicked them off when the dancing began.
I know you're disappointed about the shoes, but hey, most brides end up barefooted by the end of the night because their heels are killing them. This way you can have pretty shoes AND get to wear them all night.
Or am I just being an annoying Pollyanna? ;-)
