Went to Michael's today to pick up flowers for the bouquets. Even though a lot of the stems were half off, it still came to $70 or so, which is about what the first run cost even with a coupon. Still, it's a lot cheaper than having someone else do it even if there is a time commitment (each bouquet takes about two hours, much less than I thought it might), and it's one small touch in the midst of all the things we're skipping (centerpieces, pew bows, favors, etc). Rebecca came with this time and helped me pick out flowers that were a little different than the last time. In addition to flowers for bouquets, we also picked up some additional orchids that were on sale (and we checked in at World Market to make sure that they still have their orchids in stock in case we need more red - Michael's only carries white and purple).
Next task is to find Christmas lights. I meant to do it around Christmas, but things happened and I didn't. We're hoping that a hardware store will carry them - Aco didn't, but it's a lot smaller and didn't seem to carry a lot in the way of landscaping supplies. Our church is down towards the Lansing Lowe's, so we'll be checking there tomorrow.
Lastly, tomorrow is the deadline for RSVPs. Most people have gotten back to us already, but we'll be making some phone calls tomorrow afternoon.
