Two Weeks to go...

will_plantSo two weeks to go until the wedding, and I think that everything is coming together.
Just finished putting together all of the Orders of Service, approx 90 copies.
This has proved to an adequate reason to purchase both a long handled stapler and a guillotine.
Not one of those namby-pamby roller cutters which can only manage to cut stacks of less than three sheets but, rather, an honest to goodness hinged blade model. Which of course is illegal (or at least against the demands of the BSI number) to use without the guard, except that the guard is shipped unfitted with stern instructions that it should be fitted before any cutting is attempted. So guess what I did...
I still possess all of my fingers.
Although in the end, after figuring ink, paper and card costs as well as time it may not have been much cheaper than paying for them too be professionally printed, we did at least retain creative control and they look exactly as we wanted them and fit with the style used for the invitations
Then we attacked the table plan, although we managed to avoid having a seating plan, we do have a set number of tables and a set number of people per table. Some printing magic and spray mount later and we have, IMHO, a very professional looking table plan.
The checklist is being whittled down, i wonder what i have forgotten. Or I suppose that should be those things that I don't realize that I should have thought of. To paraphrase the White House, know unknowns vs unknown unknowns.
My Speech is the next thing that I think I ought to be planning.
Also playing with adding some new user pics.
