send out invites on diff. days?
Hey ladies!
Hope everyone is having a good week! I started school today, kids come on Thursday, yay!
Quick question about sending invitations. I had planned to send out my invites this week. FI's sister offered to write out the addresses for their side of the family and Chris' guests. I'm extremely grateful but it looks as though I will not be getting them until Saturday. Can I send out my side's invitations or should I just wait till his are ready? No one should know each other to feel slighted if they receive theirs later. I'm just so excited to send them out, I don't wanna wait!
Is next week too late for a Nov. 4th wedding? On the reply I asked that responses be sent by Oct. 15th.
Oh, and what's up with this "hand canceling stamps" at the PO?? Never heard of it before. Is it worth it? What do you guys think?
Thanks!

Hi Andrea.
November 4th wedding? You're fine sending them out this week or next. I personally would wait to send everything at once, but that's just because I wouldn't want to make multiple trips to the post office. ;-) There's nothing wrong if you send two batches out. I have no idea about the hand cancelling. We handed everything to the postal clerk rather than put them in the mail box, but that's it.
Getting the response cards back has been the funnest part of the entire wedding experience. Bob and I go to the mailbox every day in great anticipation of who's going to respond. At first we'd get 4 or 5 a day, now they're trickling in. Yesterday we only got one, and we went for 2 days last week without getting any. ;-(
Jennifer, don't freak out. You're doing fine.
Hi Jennifer.
I'd love to see your invites. Any way you can post a link or something?
I don't think it matters if you send them at different times. I wouldn't worry about waiting until Saturday either though, because I know you sent out really cute save-the-dates, so pretty much everyone should be prepared for the invite anyway, right?
I'm addressing and sending my invites this week! I just ordered favor boxes and my place cards last week! Actually, I'm going to post a picture to get some opinions. I'm trying to dress up my invites.
Oh- hand cancelling! It may or may not be worth it. They initially stamp the envelope rather than put it through the machine sorter/canceler, but it's more than likely going to go through another machine anyway. It does help initially though and save some wear and tear. If your PO will do it without a hassle, it's a nice touch.
Very nice invitations, Jennifer!
Ugh! I started making the list of stuff to do last night and it's longer than I thought. I have a hair and makeup trial tomorrow night with a new place, and I'm meeting with the baker before that to approve our final cake design. We have to choose the menu for the rehearsal dinner, finalize the readings and music for the ceremony (we still have to ask people to do the readings, bring up the gifts, etc.), and make up the programs. I'm putting an order in to Jean M today for our guest book pen and cake boxes today. They have some really nice stuff.
Jennifer, how many cocktail napkins did you order?
