i do not care about invitations.
repeat, i do not care about invitations. dont want to spend the time to DIY, dont want to spend the $ for someone else to do it. dont care, dont want to spend money.
yet, whether i care or not, i have to have them. I've tried to pawn the task off on others but i keep failing - no one has come back with anything yet.
seriously, if only grandma would learn how to read email, i'd evite it and blame my hippie-dippy-crunchy-granola side (claiming green-ness) and be done with it!!!

string dilemma
well crap.
one of the few extravagances (you know, aside from the whole black-tie-wedding-in-manhattan-on-a-sat-night thing) i was planning for this wedding was live ceremony music...
so months ago, i found someone who was willing to do an arrangement of everlong and could play some other funky stuff and i was all set.
then i talked to someone else just to satisfy my 'i need multiple options' thing and when she sent me a contract (preemptively) found out that they had a policy of not playing below 65°. but expect to be paid regardless (which i understand as they could have booked an indoor gig)
So, central park, October, 4pm and it cant be less than 65°? i'll pass.
so then i thought, perhaps i should ask contestant #1 about their weather policy... found out that, while it is a few degrees more generous (significant in october), its still similar... so, WHY was i not told this when i originally inquired??? that totally annoyed me to no end... however, in doing some research, apparently its pretty standard policy.
well crap.
so the question is, do we gamble? Its more than a few dollars to hire these guys, especially since i NEED custom music (since dave grohl hasnt offered to come play me down the aisle) and i truly cant decide whether to go for it or not. I mean, i REALLY want this - REALLY want the strings... but who wants to pay $$$ to end up with an ipod boombox in the end?
