Today, I mailed in our first for-real wedding expenditures--the deposit/application fee to hold June 18th, 2011 as the date of our wedding at the Mountain Lakes House. It's $500 now and then we'll get a formal contract in January 2011 with payments of the rest of the site rental fee due in installments from then on.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't decided whether I want to do some cool save-the-dates or just do an email announcement, but one idea I like for save-the-dates is to buy vintage postcards of your location and print out the information (date, location, wedding website) onto adhesive labels.
