Subject: Less than a week to go...
Believe it or not—the party’s almost here. I went over to M&D’s yesterday to go over a few things (and have cake for dad’s b-day and yes of course it was angel food cake). I thought I’d send this email with who is doing what. If I forgotten something or got something wrong, let me know.
Mass is at 4:30 on Saturday at Scared Heart (big church, not chapel). Dad will reserve seats for group—I think its on the left side of church.
Sharon has reserved space at the Italian Market for 6:15 on Saturday. This is for anyone at the mass who wants to go to dinner. The Italian Market is pretty informal and has good food (or so I’ve heard). You order and pay at the counter which eliminates having to split the bill. Sharon will write directions to have to hand out at the church. This restaurant is on 301 in the shopping center where you turn left to go to M&D’s house.
Mom gave me the table assignments. I’ll update the spreadsheet today. Patty will print name cards with the table assignments. Mom has stickers to put on them to indicate who gets chicken and who gets beef. She and Patty will get that done when Patty gets here. Patty will put the cards on a table at the hall for people to pick up.
I’ll fax or email final list of people with table assignments and entrée choices to koc.
Patty has decorations and a guest book for people to sign and will bring a pen(s).
Sharon ordered cake and will pick it up and deliver to koc on Sunday.
The hall is open 3 hours before the party starts—9 am. You may need to enter through the back since the front door may not be open at that time. Patty plans to be there pretty close to 9 to get the decorations up. I plan to be there early but maybe not as early as 9.
Since some people may bring cards (we said no gifts). I’ll bring a basket with a bow or something to put them in.
There will be a table for the cake and one for guest book. I think we’ll put the basket for cards on the table with guest book.
Sharon and Dad went over the DJ list and picked songs—a few special songs and the rest just a mix. Sharon and I will talk to the DJ about any announcements.
Mom or Dad will ask Laurie to do a blessing before lunch. Mom—also ask Laurie what Laura Elyn’s other son’s name is—Nathan?
Patty thinks they’ll get to Bowie Saturday about noonish. They are staying at Comfort Inn. I am staying there also. Karen and Jennifer will be with me and I don’t know what our plans are yet for Saturday.
Party starts at 12; lunch will be served at 1:15 and the party ends at 4:00. I think the final count is 113 including about 15 or so kids.
Anything else….
