Thank yous, oh how I hate thee.
Ugh... so you all know about my thank you card mix up and how we got one-sided cards instead of folding photo cards. Whatever, we've made it work. But I ordered about 25 more than we needed. Well, there's $15 down the drain! I got the same number of thank yous as we did programs for the wedding, one per family, and then about 10 more than that for the people who still sent us gifts even though they weren't at the wedding. However, I failed to remember that there were several families who went in on the bigger gifts together. So now we've got about 25 extra thank yous lying around.
Also, I am done with my side. DH and I agreed that I would write my friends and family and he would do the same. Well, mine are done and ready to ship, but DH has only done 3 of his. 3!!!! And people are apparently starting to get antsy and think we're being all rude and not mailing out thank yous, according to both of our mothers. Well... it took us 3 weeks to get our pictures back from the photog, then a little over a week to get the cards in from shutterfly, and we've (rather I've) been steadily knocking them out every night. So those people can shove it! I've got 3 grade levels to plan for every freaking day, and I've never not sent thank yous for gifts. I know it's been a little longer than usual of me to get them out, but it was really out of our control.
Pah! Vent over.
Re: Thank yous, oh how I hate thee.
I hear ya! We got about 20 extra STD magnets laying around. I was going to throw them away, but figured I can affix the magnets to some kind of photocards in the future.
Did you send Thank yous to your vendors? I know my seamstress and hairdresser asked for pics.
P.S. Good luck with the planning. I'm interested in hearing the education talk/forums this week. Mass hysteria is breaking out about public schools w/ this Waiting for Superman movie. Good grief.
I am very interested as well. We are getting emails from a bunch of the education organizations (AACTE, PDK, etc.) stating that they are against the film and are giving out "talking points" for educators. I am not sure if I want to see it or not. Are you?
DH and I divvied up the thank yous as well. (Well, *I* did because I don't want to write them all myself and I don't know what to say to the people I don't know). I have 20 done, DH has 5. I really had to push him to write those five. When I handed him his list I told him he had a week to write them (on Friday) and there are 30. So he promised he would write at least two friday night, but then forgot. So Saturday morning I asked him to write some. He did one and said "well, I'm gonna go take a shower."
I went a little crazy and made him sit there and at least write the two he promised he'd do the night before.
Lol
What a pain
~For Sale!~
This is how I do...
I hate thank you's too..I tried offering DH to keep the cash for the thank you cards he wrote to people...but yeah..that didnt work...shoot!
I nailed out about 75 of them yesterday..and he did 20 of his work people after much nagging..only another 100 to go..ugh
