I finally finished stuffing 90 wedding invitations, tied 90 bows, sealed 180 envelopes, bought 270 cute heart stamps at the post office :-), and dropped some invitations off at the post office on Friday, Saturday, and Mark is doing the final trip today...  Our RSVP date is December 1, so they are going out late, I know.  But I didn't get my envelopes back until last Tuesday--so it took me two days and they are finally on their way. :-)  I can't wait to receive my first RSVP card.  I'm excited to open them all up and see who is going to be able to join Mark and I for our big day!!  We sent out about 90 invitations and invited a little under 180.  Now there is only one problem...our reception site has a maximum capacity of 150!  We figured because it's so close to Christmas, and cold and snowy in parts of the country, that our older out of state relatives might not want to travel...so we would be okay for numbers.  BUT...Mark caused me to panic just a bit when he suggested that all of his out of state relatives might want to come to California for Christmas to get out of the cold!  lol.  Oh no!  I guess we'll see how it works out!  The more the merrier!  We can squeeze everyone in.  Who cares about some silly fire code anyway? hehe. 

  

Speaking of the big day...a few fun numbers leading up to it...

2-3...days until the chocolate for the favors is delivered to us!

150...more bows I will have to tie to put the favors together...

So much to do!  By the way, Mark and I looked around this weekend for a cake serving set and champagne glasses for the reception.  They are so expensive!  Any suggestions?
