RSVP and Registry


After a week of clipping, folding, copying and pasting we are finally done! Invitations are in the mail and on their way to your door.

RSVP
You will notice that there aren't reply cards. We wanted to cut down on the postage and the paperwaste by asking everyone to RSVP electronically. You can do that by clicking the link to the right under RSVP. This will take you to our webpage on the knot which can also be found here. Please RSVP by December 1.

Also, just a reminder from our save-the-dates that the 14th is a Sunday. Monday is MLK Jr's birthday weekend and we wanted to give people more time to travel without taking off work.

Registry
We registered at a few places but one is a little unusual. There were a lot of stores where we wanted to register that didn't have a system to do so. So we found something called myregistry.com which let's us register for anything. We take a picture or find a gift on-line and we can add a page onto our registry. Click on the box marked "buy gift" and it will take you to the website or information where the gift can be purchased. The gifts are arranged by price.

Some gifts, like our Calphalon pans or homebrew kit can be found anywhere so we're happy to get them from the cheapest place they can be found. Other things we're happy to get in any form -- like a wooden salad bowl. Please consider a local artist or store. And be sure to mark that you bought the gift so we don't get two!

That's the story. Pretty soon we'll be updating this page with hotel information and directions to the church so keep checking back!
