We’re sending out the last big batch of invitations! The only ones left are some stragglers that we have address questions about. The out of town guests got a quick little Survival Guide that should help them find their way around. It’s tough finding a good map of downtown Ann Arbor… The best one I was able to track down was from the Ann Arbor Visitor’s Bureau, and it’s got a fairly hideous selection of colors.

The next batch of invitations should be heading out as soon as we’re done with the last insert… Y’see, we’re putting together an out-of-town wedding guest “Survival Guide” with information on hotels & such… It’ll also have a list of phone numbers to call if people get lost, and a list of planned events…

Bed, Bath and Beyond has become the yardstick by which all other wedding registries shall be measured! My Fiancee and I had a great time wandering through the store with a little laser scanner, debating the merits of various rice cookers and window treatments.

So we’ve been working on our wedding registry… It’s tough. We’re both old enough that we’ve got a lot of the standard kitchenware and appliance things that you’re supposed to ask for. We’re also notoriously difficult to shop for on ordinary gift-giving occasions like birthdays and Christmas.

We stopped by to visit the jeweler that my Dad has done a lot of work with and put orders in for the engagement pendant and the wedding rings.
