For my own personal sanity I have vowed not to be in contact with wedding vendors this week. I don't mind planning but I've just been overwhelmed with the number of people I have been in contact with lately. Lets count shall we?
Kate:
_ Wedding coordinator
_ Potential florists, THREE separate (still trying to see who fits the bill best, LITERALLY!)
_ Cupcake maker
_ Potential bartenders, THREE separate
_ Full-service wedding company for rentals & waitstaff
_ Custom bridal hairpiece maker
_ Custom cake topper artist
_ Hawaiian Airlines for an airfare discount
_ American Airlines for an airfare discount
_ Vacation rental companies
_ Hotel chains for group discounts
_ ETC, ETC...
Jeff:
_ Officiant (I of course started the leg-work for this, he hasn't even personally contacted the company yet)
The other day I was PISSSSSED at Jeff for making our save the date mailing more labor intensive than it needed to be. I thought I gave him such an easy task, to set up the mailing labels. The next day I blew up when I realized not everyone on our list was printed on the labels, and our list didn't denote whose was mailed out and whose addresses we still needed. BLEW UP. With my list... you can see why. All is forgiven though, haha.
P.S. I really do love wedding planning though. I have a natural knack for planning in general, I got this from my dad. Plus, its pointless to try to use Jeff as a middle man, honestly--he'll just f-up, and we both know this. If you want it done right, you do it yourself.
