Some nasty snatch has left blood on the toilet for the second day in a row.

WTF. I''m going to send anonymous hostile letters to all 5 women on the floor.

WHY can''t women clean up after themselves in public bathrooms!??

OK that''s it, we''re starting a clean women movement. I hate this crap. The women at my work are so disgusting too. I want to leave notes on the stall doors.

Dear Wife,

I am so glad we''re going to this restaurant in May. My tummy is already rumbling in anticipation.

Love,
Wife

I''m putting in my review under teamwork that I didn''t yell at all the nasty women for getting poo and gore everywhere. Gimme a raise.

Wait, this was all written out on your response cards or somewhere else? I''m so clueless

LOL. I don''t even know what to write...my sup knows that I''m only here because I''m stuck in this hell.

The secretary next to me just got ripped a new one because a file is missing.

I love Salmon!

FI just called and said he''s bringing home bootlegs and spanish food!!!

(but he wants to go running for sure tonigt...damN!)

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

And the envelope-I lined these with vellum to get a fancy custom look.

 

[vc10um]

Totes classy, HH!

I love the damask look.

I''m totally waffling between going all out on stationary and print them myself. You''re totally swaying me toward doing them myself.

OMG HH, I love

your invitations. That''s what I want mine to look like. Ok, so I can write out what the dish actually is. Cool!

That salmon sounds freakin delicious! Now I''m hungry again!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I changed mine up from the standard boxed invite by changing the font and color and using the burgundy ribbon. I also as I said lined the envelopes with green velum. My colors were burgundy, chartreuse, black and white.

I just said 'Roasted North Atlantic Salmon with a Lychee Beurre Blanc' 'Pan Seared Filet Mignon with a Congnac Demi Glace' and 'Hand-Made Pasta Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Spinach'

I did this (though obviously my choices were different) and had the little ___ next to it so you could check it off. I wanted to include some description of the meals, since it wasn't just beef, chicken, fish (we had lamb, duck, and sea bass)

Oh, and I didn't list vegetarian. One person needed it and he just wrote it in. The place could do it special, but I didn't want 10 people checking it just because. Plus, I knew none of my friends were vegetarians (a friend's gf was, so she got the special meal). I guess if I had numerous vegetarian friends I would've included the option.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Yea our third choice wasn''t necessarily vegetarian, it was also a chicken.

 

[vc10um]

I''m glad I don''t have any vegetarian friends. KC BBQ doesn''t go well with vegetarian.

 

[elrohwen]

HH, love your invites! Beautiful. I wish I had had the confidence to print them myself.

How did you line the envelopes? I didn''t even know you could do that yourself. I really like it!

 

[Bia]

on the phone for what felt like eternity

HH: me likes

 

[elrohwen]

The vegetarian option ended up being a mushroom stuffed pasta. I was so tempted to order some on the side for myself

Totally makes sense. My venue says it can provide a "limited number" of vegeterian dishes so I won't put that on the response card either.

Another question. When more than 1 person was RSVPing on the same card, did they just write 1 or 2 or whatever number next to the chosen dishes or did they write their names next to their choice. Like if A and B are both coming and they both check off beef and fish, how I do know who wants what since I have to give my venue the chosen dishes along with the seating chart?!?!?!

ETFix stupid mistakes!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

I bought 8.5. x 11 specialty paper from Michael''s and made a template with a piece of cardboard. Then I cut the paper in the template shape and used a glue stick to adhere it to the inside of the envelope. I placed the paper low enough on the envelope so the glue strip was still visible. Oh and the lining only covers the flap and a small part of the pocket. You don''t need to line the entire pocket.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

my people initialed which ones they wanted.

That''s what I always do with RSVPs for plated dinners.
