Check the mail

Stop reading. Get up and go check the mail.

Why? You ask.

Because there just might be a very special invitation waiting for you to tear open.

Yes, it’s true. Coming soon to your mailbox is my wedding invitation. I sent them out on Saturday morning after the Katz family assembly line lovingly stuffed, stamped and glued each and every one. If you happen to get two response cards, that’s my fault. If the stamp looks crooked- that’s my mom’s doing. And if the edges of the envelope aren’t glued down completely- fault my dad. Brother was directing the operation from the couch.

There I was at the post office, at the height of tax season, perhaps the busiest mail day of the entire year, batting my eyelashes and pleading with Mr. Postal Worker to please hand stamp my precious wedding invitations. It was a close call, but I made it happen.

A little advice to all my reader/guests out there: Make sure you send back the response card asap. The post office has thrown us a little curve ball and decided to raise the price of stamps sometime in May. I’d hate for your response card to get lost in the mail. So if you know you’re coming, don’t hesitate to share that with my mom and dad. If you’re one of those people who pay no attention to the return date, at least remember to add some postage.

I’ve been engaged for more than a year now and June 23 always seemed so far away. Finally, we’re starting to see some action.
