Since Dana and I have originally started setting to plan things out, we've had several great ideas between the two of us. The only problem is, our memories are just plain not big enough to fit them all. Over the weekend, I asked Dana to go out and get me a binder so that we could have some form of organization and keep track of things we've already decided.
As such, Target was just wonderful! We found a binder and we were on our merry way.
Right now, we're looking at the sixteenth of August 2014, for our date. Since nothing has been booked yet though, we're hesitant to announce the date itself. I've been treating it as if we're going to do that day though. Finding the reception venue has really been the most difficult so far.
Reason? Our guest list is pretty substantial. We numbered out everyone we wanted to invite and even some plus ones, and came to a solid two hundred and twenty five if you factor in Dana and my stomachs to feed. Almost half of it alone was my family. And you just can't plain not invite family, that's just bad form.
This is where the binder seems to at least solve all my problems. I have a list of venues we would like to look at and consider and once we've made our decision, we can either cross it off our list or keep it as a possibility. It's still cutting it close though. Some websites have said book the venue at least a year in advance, but then that leads one to think, how on earth do people not have trouble booking venues when they have an engagement period that is shorter than a year. Silly internet.
Another struggle has been ironing out who to invite and not to invite, and who to give a plus one to and who to withhold the plus one. I suspect that time will just have to wait and see on this one.
