Invitation to Hades

We got our invitations last night, and they are so cool. I have to say. And many thanks to the future S-I-L and her beau for getting them printed for us. They are so awesome. They don't so much look like a weding invite, as a cool PARTY invite. Which is fitting. And, not to brag, they were conceived by me, and designed by J, so they really fit our idea of what this wedding business is all about.

However. Now comes the task or addressing all 100 of them. ACK! UGH! OUCH! Who knew it was such a pain? And if you knew it was a pain, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!

We are trying to use everyone's "formal" names. Did you ever stop to think that you might not KNOW your relative's formal names? Don't you always just call Uncle Bob....well....Uncle Bob? Who's idea was this formal name thing? I have a word or two for them. (those words being "YOU SUCK")

And then with mixed families in the same house...what do you do? Send one to everyone? Send separate? Whose name goes on the invite?

If two people live together and arent' married, do BOTH of their names go on the invite?

where the hell is miss manners when you REALLY need her?

aaaaaaaah.

So, last night, out of the 25 or so that we addressed, we realized about 10 or so went into the "there is a problem, call ____________ to figure out how to fix it." so, we didn't get very far.

But damn, they look good! Now if anyone gets to see them, that's another matter entirely.
