Oh my GOOSES

179.

That's the total number of Guests right now. Including Children. So it's probably closer to 170 Adults. Matt's Aunt sent me a list of names and addresses. But I don't know who on there has kids or how many they have.

I know that the list will get bigger before it gets any smaller. And I'm not terribly worried yet. Because no matter what we'll be charged for 150 Guests. So I'd prefer to make sure I have at least that many so I'm not buying dinner for imaginary people!

BUT! This also means that the Ceremony might be tricky. Anything over 75 Chairs I have to pay for. I've been debating what to do about that. I know people usually skip out on the Ceremony, which is fine, but our Reception is right after. So people could skip out on the boring part... but then they'll miss part of the Cocktail hour happenings.

Oh well, no sense in me worrying now about what everyone else is doing during my Reception then. : P

There isn't much left to do....

...but wait.

I'm not sure how I got as much done as I did in the first month.

But I have a dress, a venue and entertainment. I need to sketch out what I want in a cake and then that will be all set. I've picked out tuxes for the Boys and a Dress for the MoH. I don't have centerpieces yet but I have some ideas, so I'm getting there. There are 2 things that I am not looking forward to. Because they're the most tedious and obnoxious.

Invitations and Guest Lists.

I found invitations that I like. But I wanted to have the invitations them selves in pirate speak. I don't know if I can sell Matt on that point. But I'm going to try. And as far as the Guest List goes, for now I'm just waiting for people to get back to me with addresses. We haven't set a number in stone as to what we cannot and will not go over. But I'm sure that that day will come soon enough.

I still need to find a florist and an officiant as well. Although I have a feeling that the florist will be easier.

I keep telling myself that I'm ahead of the game... but it doesn't feel like it
