The invitation

So, for those of you who have either received an email or other message from Rachel inviting you, or for those who have lost their hard copy of the invitation, here is the invite, in picture form. The address is blacked out for obvious reasons. If you need the address, please feel free to ask one of us or just leave a comment here with your name and email or phone number and someone will get back to you.

Rachel's Getting Married

Hopefully though, it won't be nearly as boring as the movie. :)

So, I'm creating this blog page for a rather obvious reason: My little sister, Rachel, is getting married. This is going to be a place for me, and probably other people involved in the wedding, to give out information to all of you out there who need that information. In turn, it will be a great place for you to ask your questions. (Where are they registered? Wait, they're not registered? What do we do now?). If you're looking for the page with all the information on the wedding it's self, that would be over at this location: http://web.me.com/stephen.emery/Wedding/Invitation.html

First up, is going to be the bridal shower. I am in charge of this particular task and will be hosting it at Elaine Price's house in Gresham. By week's end, I hope that the entire invite list as well as everyone's addresses will be in my posession and I will be busy addressing envelopes. Which means, I have to have the date nailed down before that happens. But no worries, because by the time anyone's reading this, it will all be figured out.

Ok, so what I need from all of you is this. Please respond to this blog with a listing of anything you're allergic to, food wise. Also, please RSVP here. I need to know how many of you ladies to expect! Please also let me know if you'll be bringing little ones with you and how old they are.

Back to those questions you posed earlier. (hehe) So, yes, it's true, they are not registered anywhere. There is a very good reason for this though! As you very well may know, Rachel and Stephen are planning on moving shortly after they are married. This move is going to be a big one too. Most likely, it will be to another state, but it could very well be international. The idea is that they aren't all that excited about the prospect of hauling a lot of "stuff" around when they would be much better off just getting things that they need once they arrive at their new home.

What can you do then, for a gift? Well, cash is always fine, but if you find that to be too impersonal, think about gift cards. Spafinder.com is a great place to go to for something feminine because those gift certificates are accepted at spas and salons nation wide. Another great idea is Amazon.com gift cards. We know they're not going to be filing bankruptcy any time soon, and whatever Rachel and Stephen order, they can have it shipped anywhere in the world. I-tunes is another great idea. Think along those lines and see what fun ideas you can come up with.

Well, that about does it for the first post of the Bridesmaid diary's. More to come later!
