It's Holiday Season!

I love the holiday season! In my family, we celebrate both Chanukah and Christmas so we have lots of parties together! When I was planning my wedding I used the holiday season to catch up with relatives I hadn't seen in years. Before coming to any party, I made sure I brought my address book. I double checked everyones address and made updates right there with them. If any friends or relatives didn't have the chance to join the party - there was always someone there who would pull out an address book with the info I was missing. Don't forget to check the telephone and cell number as well - just in case you need to RSVP by phone! What the heck - while your at it -get the email too! I am the type of person who multitasks without even thinking about it. So, using these times was a no-brainer! In my mind, I go through "what-if" scenarios. What if I send their invite to the wrong address and It comes back with ugly red stamps "Not at this address". I couldn't have that on my beautiful invitations - with special extra postage! No way! I would have to toss it and start over - that's like tossing $$ in the trash!! Especially a waste if I had the calligraphy done! I would have to go back and have that one envelope done over. Who wants to add to their "to-do" list six weeks before their wedding! Absolutely, No way!! So, take advantage of seeing your relatives and take a moment to update your address book! It only takes a moment and costs nothing! If you don't have an address book - get one - you'll definitely need a proper one as a married woman! Have a Happy Holiday - whichever one you celebrate - and don't forget your address book!
