Get Fired Up!

Over the last week-ish, we've been reaching out to people who's addresses we don't know, asking them to fill out a Google Docs form with their contact info so we can be ready to send out Save the Dates when they are ready. This form auto-fills to a spreadsheet that will make creating labels (and eventually seating arrangements) super easy. It's also WAY easier than calling/emailing/texting everybody we know, asking for their address, then typing it in ourselves--it saves about 2-3 steps depending on how often we have to contact some people (if you got a request and haven't filled it out, DO IT NOW or I will hunt you down like a wild animal).

One of the highlights of my day has been logging into Google Docs and seeing if the entry count has gone up at all. If it has, I gleefully scroll to the bottom of the spreadsheet to see who's added him/herself. One of the best parts has been seeing who does and does not add their children, what type of dietary restrictions (yup, we're gathering all the info; if we don't have to make people do this twice, that makes me (and them) happy. It's such a simple thing, seeing addresses on a spreadsheet, but these addresses mean we're ACTUALLY going to send the Save the Dates, and eventually ACTUALLY send invitations (which means I'm going to be ordering invitations), which means I'm going to be getting my dress altered, and choosing Ladies of Honor dresses, and Men of Honor suits, and an Ellie suit, and all of the other things that come with getting married.
