RSVP = early and often

Borrowing from our resourceful friends Kara and Sean, we’ve decided to save a tree or two and forego the old-fashioned reply cards. Instead, we’re requesting that our guests RSVP by taking a moment to call, email or post a comment here.

One important thing to note in your RSVP is which of the following main courses you would prefer:
1. Pan-sauteed Lake Michigan whitefish, served with a lemon caper sauce
2. Spice-rubbed free-range chicken cooked under a brick, accompanied with a roasted tomato chipotle sauce
3. Herb crepes filled with grilled summer vegetables and fresh ricotta, seasoned with a basil tomato sauce

Being that Mary is both incredibly impatient and woefully worrisome (and that Joshua Ray must endure Mary’s aforementioned endearing but exhausting traits), we would greatly appreciate a reply at your earliest convenience and kindly before August 1.

But we would also welcome any updates or queries you may have leading up to the big day, from switching your dinner selection to scoping out who will be staying in the dorms. We realize that attending a “destination” wedding requires a tad more planning than the usual hometown affair, and we truly want to offer whatever assistance we possibly can—so keep us posted!
