Save The Dates

So, after a lot of thought and careful money counting on my end I have decided that I am going to do real live mail out save the dates. Yes, this penny pincher is going to splurge a little bit and do save the dates. Well, it was kinda a combination of John not wanting to do save the dates by email because he thought it would be "tacky" and practical need. The fact that he had such a strong opinion about this made me want to actually do save the dates. I mean when I texted him the other day asking him if we should save money a little and go with save the dates by email, he actually texted me back "No". Not "whatever you want" or my favorite "its up to you", but "No".

Yup, now I have an actual deadline to meet with my first real live step towards planning this wedding. I mean I can have a venue, a dress and whatever else I want, but if nobody knows about this wonderful occasion does it really exist? For real.

Another reason why I decided to go with save the dates, was because we really didn't have an official engagement announcement so I guess there are a lot of people to officially inform. I have quite a bit of out of town family that I don't necessarily have close and constant contact with. Namely, my dad's side of the family. They will have to book stuff and I want to give everyone enough time to find the best price around. So, there is my carefully thought out reason to why save the dates are practical. LOL Yes, unfortunately that's that type of person that I am. I try to weigh everything out before I actually do things. Especially when it comes to what I am going to spend my money on.

Yuppers...come a month and a half from now you will receive some lovely envelopes in the mail that announce our wedding date. YAY
