Overwhelmed by so much information!

Stayed at home for a whole day looking for wedding vendors' information and somebody else's experience. Just feel so overwhelmed with too much information. I think I need to organize what I have learned and then go from here.

About the caterers, we have met Koriander's and Shaxamaxon already. The first one is a husband & wife biz. The old guy we have met is very talktive and i can tell that he is passionate about food or we say, cuisin (SP?)~ But what concerns me is that they seem not as experienced as the second caterer especially with Colonial Dames. For the second cater, Shaxamaxon, there were a lot of comments about it in the indiebridal forum. It seems like a very popular and nice choice for CD. So I would list it in the higher priority list than K. Another two caters we are planning to meet are Manner Cater and Frog Commisary. Manner is the other one who got a lot of recognition by the IB girls. We were anxious to meet with them. But they were so hard to get hold on. They didn't reply our emails neither did they pick the phone. hmm...I guess we will see what's happenning with these two. Then we have to schedule probably two tastings. I would say that we will end up with either S or M. Since Dave said Frog is a little in a pricey end.

I am glad that we finally complished something during the spring break. That is the groom's formalwear. After visiting several stores carrying formal wear, we have decided to purchase the tux instead of renting. This way, he can really get one tux that fits him very well. And Men's wearhouse has a nice CK tux for $600. Also I would like the groom's men rent the same CK tux to keep the formality. It costs $150 each for everything. Even including shoes!

For invitations, hmm...it's just ridiculously expensive when you talk about wedding invitations. And the design is not special at all. I think it might be better to design our own invitaion and it should be a fun experience too. Here I saw some very nice design from another philly bride.
