So, to bring everyone up to speed there is a tradition in the South called a Bridal Tea. Basically it is what we would do at home to the magnitude of ten! We are inviting over 100 people and it is going to be a big event.
So even though the big event between The Other Half and me is still two years away, the tea is being held sooner for a number of reasons.
Today we embarked on the mammoth task of setting up a gift registry. Now we are planning on doing this at 3 or 4 stores and today we made it half way through one!
Who knew that trying to make every decision relating to furnishing a house you do not have could be so exhausting!
So with The Other Half armed with the scanning thing and I with a clip board and lists we set off through Bed, Bath and Beyond trying to think of absolutely everything we may need in the future.
We were advised to over scan so that there was enough choice on our lists and more of a chance that we get what we need, so we did – our list now consists of around 4 chopping boards and 5 whisks (did anyone even know that whisks came in different sizes?)
One store pretty much done and at least two more to go, we still have a lot of work ahead of us. Thank goodness for the online resource where we can go back and see exactly what we have on there – I have already been on and noticed a few things that I did not select – like 4 whisks (lets just remember who was carrying the scanner!)
