Making progress
James looked at invitations with me last night! Alleluia!
I’m just kidding. He’s actually really good about giving input and talking about the wedding. Well, most of the time. He sometimes says that I’m planning things without him. But he says that when I ask him about something. I am looking for input; that’s why I’m asking.
I don’t know how to make him feel more involved. He’s so busy with work and his freelance projects that he never has time to look at flowers with me. And he says that we have so long to decide on things, why worry about it now?
But, anyway, we did talk about invitations last night.
He didn’t like most of what I had picked out, but he did get very excited over a very simple monogram with a colored sleeve. We have tons of time, but I think the longer you have an idea in the back of your head, the better the eventual design will be.
I also emailed with my cousin, Sharon, yesterday. She’s thinking about having Edible Arrangements instead of floral centerpieces. As she says, if you can’t see around the centerpiece, you can just eat the chocolate covered strawberry that’s in your way. I think it’s a great idea. I’m so glad I’m going to her wedding!
James really likes the idea of having apples with sticks in them to hold the escort cards, so I’m sure we’ll do that. Maybe I can come up with a way to incorporate apples into the centerpieces, too. Growers Box has 168 gerbera daisy stems for $280. 336 for $500. I have no idea how many I would need, but I think those prices will save me some money. I just have to figure out how to arrange them. My editor volunteered herself and some other women from the office (unbeknownst to them) to help decorate the tables, so once I figure out what I’m doing, I’ll have help.
