Be on the lookout!

The invitations were mailed yesterday. Can I get a "HipHipHooray?" As you open your invitation, remember that they were stuffed, stamped, and delivered with love. My mom and I picked them out, with Chris's approval of course. My brother, Lawrence and his girlfriend helped me stuff them. My grandmother handled all the response cards and envelopes. Mom sealed them and dad put stamps on them and hand stamped them at the post office. So, when you open it, know that this was truly a family bonding experience.

The first contact I had that the invitations had made them into family and friends mailboxes was from Marianne Bruner Baur. Thanks Mari!

Okay, I have a couple of things I need some help on. If you can contribute a tip, suggestion, or thought about the things listed below, please send us a message.
1. Hair: Do you know of someone in Columbia that can do a hairstyle the day of the wedding.
2. Birdcage: Does anyone already have one that we could borrow for the gift table. Kind of a costly item to only use 1 night.
3. Transportation: Any ideas on how to get from the church to the reception in something other than a limo.

Also, be sure to share with us any special requests you may have for songs to be played at the reception. We want everyone on the dance floor!

I will update pictures as soon as possible. I'm headed off to bed shortly. I am dog sitting Jennifer & Stewarts dog, Baxter. He is sacked out on the floor now.

Do they still do the trolley's? That is what my sister did (the same night 11 years ago) and it was a blast! And they got some great pictures. Just a thought. Love, La

David at David & Co. does my mom's hair and he's done mine a few times (he did a great curl and up-do on my hair for the reception). He's off of Bush River, in the same strip as the Melting Pot- across from Dutch Square. His number is 772-1432. Or, there is an Aveda salon off of 378, I've never been there but if you wanted to stick with an Aveda salon...I can look it up for you if you want.

There is a salon in downtown Columbia that did my hair the day of and some of the bridesmaids as well. My mom and my sister get there hair cut/color there. I can't think of the name at the moment. My mom knows the name....email me if you are interested, you may not want to go that far. As far as the bird cage...check with Mrs. Ward:) She would know where to borrow one! I'm at a loss on the transportation. The trolley sounds fun. m
