It has been a pretty productive weekend! We have exactly 48 days until the big day, so I am really starting to feel under the gun about all the unfinished plans that need planning. But I got some big things knocked out this weekend, so that is awesome.
The biggest accomplishment is booking rehearsal dinner!
Since we are having an elegant chicken oscar-esque event for the reception, we wanted a low-key fajitas and margaritas type dinner. That would seem easy enough, especially in Houston of all places.
Well here is the thing. Our rehearsal is Friday night, and Friday night is the absolute WORST time to be driving around in Houston. The traffic is nightmarish, and this is coming from the gal that commutes an hour to her workplace that is 17 miles away. That being said, we didn't want our rehearsal dinner attendees to have to deal with that, as they will already be in a foreign city.
true story.
The second thing is that the closest Mexican restaurants to our church either don't have the space to fit our needs (we have about 40-50 on the guest list) or the food is mediocre and overpriced. It is sad, but you go into these places and you don't see one Mexican dining in there. That is your first clue that it isn't that good. No one wants to celebrate with sub-par fajitas.
So we did a compromise, and are having the crew drive a little bit more than I would have liked, but for really good food that is good priced as well. Plus we get our own little area away from the regular restaurant patrons.
My Mom and Jeff went for lunch there Saturday and we got to talk to the manager and get it all reserved, win!
And as soon as I got home, I ordered our invites from Pear Tree Greetings:
Big weight off my shoulders getting that set up! Now I only have about 499 things to do :)
48 days away, eep!
