Chicken or beef
Capt Mike and I got our first RSVP card in the mail today. It was very exciting. I love prompt replies, I must say. We only sent the invitations out on Wednesday. By Thursday, I had already received some compliments on our choice of stationery, meaning that Canada Post is holding up its end of the bargain, which I am always glad to hear. Of course, there is no gaurantee on when the invitations will make it all the way to the Northwest Territories, the west coast, or Korea, but at least I know they're on the move. :-)
In case anyone reading this is interested, I ordered the invitations on-line from www.mygatsby.com. I was impressed by the amount of customization I was able to incorporate. Basically, I could write anything I wanted and choose the fonts, font sizes, ink colours, paper colours, and number of inserts. It was all very easy, and affordable to boot. The only catch was that the company doesn't ship outside of the USA. Luckily, my sister was able to step in and take delivery, then ship it on up to me.
The only remaining work that needed to be done once the invitations arrived was addressing the envelopes. That's when I decided to call in some reinforcements. After plying my friends with wine and hors d'oevres, we managed to get all of the calligraphy done in a couple of hours. So, I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank Cheryl, Katie, Jane, and Tracy for their penmanship, and Heather for having the foresight to buy me a calligraphy set for Christmas.

Sweet! We're still eagerly awaiting the arrival of our invitation (probably got stopped at customs for fear of embedded WMDs). But I got a sneak peak when the order arrived here, and they are absolutely gorgeous!

Bobbin's having a tough time deciding between the steak or chicken.
