How not to stress yourself over making wedding maps for invitations...

[ocnative]

Just say "fuck it" and not include maps.

90% of people are local.

98% are internet users..

2% - well, that would be my parents and they already know how to get there.

Wow, what a waste of time this evening.

lol. Its the thought that counts, you wanted to make sure they all knew how to get there because you are a good bride!

It was just so funny. There we are, sitting at my computer and Chris was giving me a crash course in Photoshop. I was trying to use a print screen from weddingmapper.com and then have a zoom in picture overlay in the top right corner, but there are so many streets and so many green parks that the map just looked really busy. So then I was trying to cancel out a bunch of the stuff we don't need by erasing it. Well I can't erase with a mouse very well. So then I tried it in Word and just overlaid the maps, but I was so frustrated. Chris and I came to the conclusion about the same time, "Who really needs a map?" It's on the wedding website, most folks are local and if anyone needs directions, they can just ask us. I can send them Google maps or whatever.

Thankfully we salvaged the rest of the evening, LOL.

Yeah, no big deal. My aunt was just mad at her daughter (my cousin) for not putting the street address on a shower invitation at the church where they always have parties. My cousin even had a map included! You just can't please everyone.

I thought the general protocol was to ask your designer friend and then change it 10 times until she goes crazy.

Oh crap! I forgot that part.

Well... they haven't been mailed yet. How soon do you need the info?

>:-P

Oh! You should have your maid of honor do it!!! What were you thinking, trying to do everything, yourself.

LOL, you know me, always doing things myself.

Plus, Stacy and Pamela (who I am a bit closer to than Joanne and Vonnie) are 10 times busier that Joanne and Vonnie since they are both married with children and careers and Stacy is very type A, LOL.

Poor Anna has really been my acting MOH and Stacy just gets the title and the dress!
