It was actually a very easy decision. Small and intimate. Yeah!<BR/><BR/>And tuxedos? I feel your pain! We went to an actual Men's Warehouse. Where the sales lady was coy. And about as helpful as a cab driver who could take me down the street to MWTux. So, we walked out. I'm so not looking forward to the day when we actually have to choose a tux.

We basically took over the entire restaurant except for about three tables in a corner. It was lovely, with passing of platters and lots of free moving-around-the-restaurant. It really felt better than a more formal place--and it was a small inexpensive place (family-run) so it was WAYYYYYY less expensive.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-65443541572535387582008-05-28T13:00:00.000-06:002008-05-28T13:00:00.000-06:00I'm glad your invitations are coming together - In...I'm glad your invitations are coming together - In Design is definitely the best for a card layout. Also, if you are planning to cut the invitations yourself I would suggest that you go to a Kinkos or other such copy store and have them do it. It's very cheap ($3.00 for a one inch stack, or something similar), it will save you loads of time and it will probably look cleaner and more unified.<BR/><BR/>Oh the wedding Tux - often a problem. The staff at MW is often rude and unhelpful, they only have tuxes (for the most part, no suits) and you can't see anything in person. The one thing they do have in store is samples of the fabric, so that will help some. For the most part all of the Tuxes are VERY similar with just a minor detail differentiating one from the other - so you can't go too wrong with whatever you choose. I think it's a great idea to try some styles on at Macy's so you can visualize what it will look like.
