This morning I met Drennon at the Green Hills Post Office at 7:30 to help her hand cancel her wedding invitations. For those of you who are not familiar with the term "canceling," it means canceling the stamp by hand like it would be done when it is run through the postage machine. Doing it by hand makes sure that the ink on the pretty invitations does not get smeared since it does not have to go through the machine once it has been stamped with the date. Ben could not understand why I was saying that I was going to help Drennon "cancel" her invitations. Apparently, it is not a term people are familiar with unless you've done it yourself.
We had a little bit of a scare when we got there and the man behind the counter told us they did not allow people to hand cancel envelopes anymore. Bad idea to freak out a stressed bride and her matron of honor first thing in the morning! He asked his manager who told him that yes, we could do it ourselves. Thank goodness. I would have had to pick Drennon up off the floor. It only took us about 20 minutes to stamp all 304 invitations! We had a quick little system going. So, there's no turning back now!! Six weeks to go...
Drennon stamping the last invitation!
