As far as the guest book goes I've gone back and forth and have ruled out the picture signing idea and boring regular guestbook. What I've decided to do: my mom and dad bought me a photo album that has a small area to the side of each picture where guests can write memories or advice/good luck/we hate you/whatever they want to write. And as they walk in someone can take pics of each family and later we will get them developed and put it next to their words. I realize that with 400 people it will take awhile so kyoung (who will be manning the book...THANK YOU!!) and someone else can tell ppl that they can wait and write in it at reception if they'd prefer. I'm hoping this will work. Is anyone interested in taking pics as ppl walk in? You can use my digital camera. I may need a couple ppl... would make it faster and there are 2 ways ppl can walk to wedding and this way we can catch them at both sides. I can't believe there are only 7 wks!! I've gotten a lot done the last 2 wks but stil have so much to do! Its been kinda hard just bc I dont really have bridesmaid help.. 2 are out of town and the other one is 16 and life-consumed. She cant help it :) But as much as my mom and I argue about EVERYTHING, she really has been a great help. I mean A-mazing.
Oh and no sign of taking state boards as of yet. I have to recieve the "OK to test" from the ohio board of nursing and I prob wont get that until end of this month. Which means i may not get to take my test until beg-mid aug and I start my job aug 17!! Everything happening so fast.
