Guest List of Doom!!!!

Whoo hoo!!! James and I have FINALLY!!!! completed our guest list. Who knew it would be so difficult?!?!

I mean shouldn't it be easy to remember all you closest family, friends, and people that have helped you on your way in life??? It should be but then you got to remember all their first and last names, children, spouses... ect.. What a tricky process. My biggest challange was my family. Poor James he doesn't know what he's in for.

In my family alone. I have my mom, Rachel, Stephen, Katie, Her Hubby Ryan, my dad, and His Wife Suzette. That's 7 right there. Not to mention my mom comes from a family of 4 who all are married with kids who are also married. Then my dad comes from a family of 9 who are all married and have kids... All in all just family along for my side took up 83 people!

But we tackled the beast.. Counted up the family and added a few close friends to our 150 person limit for the actual ceremony. I can't afford the 3 dollars a chair after that. (They really know how to nip you in the wallet!) The reception list was even harder.. trying to remember who you already invited. Making sure "our" friends weren't on both lists. I think The grand total for the reception was 300 ... Yikes!

All in all it was a great time. James and I laughed about family, not knowing some peoples last names, and putting things like Mr. & Mrs. So and So.... Kid 1, Kid 2, Kid 3.......

So guest list down.... 400 billion things left to do....
