Wedding up date

I really haven't done too much more wedding planning because really there's not much to do. Really the only things left on my list are a decorator, a dj, and to ask the rest of the bridal party. Kevin and I have each asked one person. The main thing we must get accomplished is the save the date cards. Ideally I wanted to have them sent out in November but that didn't happen and I didn't want them to get mixed up in with peoples Christmas cards so December was out but I also don't want them to get accidently thrown out when Christmas stuff gets put away so I am hoping to get them sent out by the end of January. My sister pointed out that November would have been a year in advance and that January is ten months early. I realize that most people don't send them out this early but most people get married during wedding season (the summer months) and most people don't have people traveling as far as we do. Our wedding is in a month that has a major travel holiday (and its also very close to Christmas) and we have a lot of people coming from other sides of the country and other countries so etiquette says they need to go out a year in advance. (I didn't make that rule up Emily Post did, so if you have a problem with it take it up with her). The other night Kevin actually spent a lot of time giving me some of his guest list, he is up to about 50 invites!

And while I'm thinking about:
Kevin and I would love to share all of our engagement pictures with everyone, once they're taken that is, but would greatly appreciate it if everyone would refrain from sharing them or using them on facebook. I have seen a lot of my friends' very personal pictures (sonograms, babies, wedding, engagement, and so on) being shared by  friends family members and used by friends and family as profile pictures. This is one of my biggest pet peeves and I'll tell you why. I know who all of my friends on facebook are but I do not know who your friends are so I can't control who sees or uses it once you share or use one of my pictures. If you would like a printed photo just let one of us know and we would be more than happy to get you copies of any picture you like.
