rainy, icky day in shanghai - so i've been sitting at my desk ALL day long and i think i'm pretty much cross-eyed at this point.

i haven't stopped with the tedious task of looking through the whole guest list, revising one name after another, cutting some out ( sorry!!!), adding others (lucky you!). (sigh). it's been a long process. but hey, i guess every couple goes through this 'guest list dilemma'...

the second part to it is how to address the guests! there must exist some middle ground somewhere between too traditional and too ultra modern. i just haven't found that place yet. how do you make sure the invitation doesn't sound either like some stuffy medieval event OR a casual 'hey, come hang out at my place' thing?

hahahaha! these are my issues as of late. but don't judge me when you get your invitation ok!? i'm trying to find a happy medium here!

i'm sure if you are reading this you probably got my 'request' to send me your most updated mailing address. sorry! but with facebook, everything is much easier nowadays, right? but at the same time it's also much more difficult to keep some things out of the loop, oops!

aside from that, i heard from my caterer, which has absolutely thrilled me because her ideas are great and her quote was perfect. so i'm really excited about the food and how it'll be prepared and served and i really think everyone is going to enjoy it. at least i hope so.

so that's it for tonight. rodrigo is out at some meetings, so i'm going to go sit on the couch with my glass of wine and munch on something alone. boo hoo.

besos!

things to do

March 10 - 11:44pm - Shanghai

wow...last week was a crazy work week for me, so i really didn't get much wedding stuff done at all, including updating this little blog. i was out traveling southern china - no, not for fun - visiting factories and suppliers all day long...

so this week i've made myself a to-do list that involves doing as much wedding stuff as i can handle. now it's a matter of where to begin, although i was able to get some done today.

i finally emailed my caterer to start working on our menu. we need to finally agree on the food and costs so we can plan and budget all that in...so i'll be waiting to hear what they say over the next couple of days.

we are also thinking of unique decorations and what fun stuff we can find in china for the big day. that will save us on some of the costs! not everyone has the advantage to buy direct from factories, so might as well take advantage, right?! so over the next few days maybe we'll head out and visit some suppliers...

also, we are narrowing our options for registries! we finally decided it may be a good idea to register somewhere, so look out for that page on this site soon where i'll post the links to where we are registered.

hmmm, i think that is all we did today. we just got home from a yummy thai dinner and i'm ready for bed - (yawn) -

besos!
