Sealing OVERHAUL!

Well, as we wrote up our guest list today, well... it comes down to the fact that we know just too many people!! It started out as 100 people but then a few people here, a few people there... and now... we are at 300 people!!! 150 Invites!! GULP!
So, what we have decided to do, is still invite everyone, but hopefulyy (fingers crossed) that 2/3's of the people can't come! That is our only solution! We love everyone equally and just can't invite one person and not the other, and of course, the counts include their children... some of which don't eat HUMAN food yet!
So, to come down on the budget, I sadly, have to say goodbye to the beautiful gown I wanted, and say hello to ebay dress auction! Sigh... and I am going to have to make not only my cloak (which is still a MUST for me), I have to make the girls their white gowns, because they are being sealed to us at the same time, and I have to make little throws that tie around their gowns, to give them the whole red and white look!
Today I also checked out Walmart.com vs costco.com for photo invites... and I think I may just go with white invites and add something Christmas'y to them... not entirely sure yet. The only photo card that could fit all the information of the invite is white,... so that means I have to get creative!
OH... and instead of making this about just Chris and I, we have opted to have the invites read, "THE GOODRUM FAMILY" instead of "Christopher and Kellie Goodrum".
But the tree's will still be sparkling up the place, and it will still be a fantastic event!!
Now, is the time to see just how good a planner I am,... after all, a good planner can make an event look like a million dollars, when all you used, is a hundred dollars... :)

Oh... and I thought, for a special treat for all of you followers, I would post a snipit of the book I'm writing... in a few days! I finished the first round, and now have to still add the 10, 000 words and more religion to it... I've targeted a religious romance book editing firm, and have to be within their guidelines. I want to write a romance novel that you don't feel like you're reading porn... blegh. So, come back and see the first snipit!!!!

Love and Blessings!
