Since I’m living out on the West Coast, I had to coordinate everything with Susan, the owner, via email and phone. I sent her my exact specs on Monday, and by Friday, the invitations were sitting right on my doorstep. She is incredibly easy to work with; you make a deal, and she sticks to it, period.
For the reception, I’ve booked a band playing at a Chuck E. Cheese style venue... well, more like a high-end banquet hall, but anyway, I hired them specifically because they are phenomenal and, most importantly, they don't play that cheesy country music, which is a huge deal for me.
If there are any other folks here from the FBI who need some advice or have questions regarding venues, catering, cakes, flowers, or anything else, please feel free to ask...
We also got our invites from that same print shop, and we're super happy—everyone says they look gorgeous.
The whole setup took maybe 3 minutes...
They confirmed via email, we picked them up, and it was smooth sailing.
