We're busily working on making our 'formal' invitations (formal is in quotes because, quite frankly, they aren't all that stuffy. Nary a piece of extraneous tissue in sight!), which means printing more envelopes. The first time round, printing the envelopes was an adventure because the save-the-dates were smallish, which meant that more often than not the printer would spit out a slightly skewed address on the envelope. Luckily the invitations are larger, and the printer can handle it just fine. What was frustrating was tracking down all of the addresses. Again.
The first time round we gathered addresses in waves (his family, my family, stragglers, oddballs) and collected the disparately sized pieces of paper in our save-the-date box. Realizing that more organization will be necessary for future stuff, I finally got off my keester and entered all of the addresses onto the guest list service at theknot.com Normally I wouldn't trust the knot to do much more than display annoying videos of overpriced dresses (check out their webpage - it is horrifying), but their guest tracker service allows my parents (and his) to log in and correct info and tracks a million little details like whether or not their name is to be spelled differently on the inside of the envelope as compared to the outside (none of you will be getting this courtesy, just to let you know). Most of it I won't use, but I decided to give it a whirl. I entered everything manually and saved. I SWEAR that I saved. Then I checked that I saved the document. Then I logged off.
Guess what? It didn't save.
I know, I'm probably the moron here, but I went to theknot.com message boards and found that this isn't an uncommon complaint amongst knotties. Anywho, the long story short is that I couldn't print all of the envelopes while visiting my parents over the 4th of July holiday. Then they lugged the printer up to me this week and I finished printing at 11:30 last night. Thank god we saved all of the scraps of paper upon which addresses were written. The good news is that it is done. The bad news is that I was tired and there are probably typos. So if you receive an invitation for "Witz" instead of "Wirz", just let it slide, OK? Thanks!
