Need a date...

I am starting to become frustrated... I need a date for the engagement party. We have picked the 30th April, 2011 - BUT things keep coming up, stopping me from booking our venue and in turn this is giving more chance for the venue not being available. I could just book it but we will lose our $200 deposit if we change the date.

Ev has work commitments out of town but we don't know if and when it's happening and wont know for another 6 weeks... so frustrating! I don't want to push the engagement back to May either as it will be 5 months since we where engaged and May is much cooler.

We really need to commit to a date and book soon! I would like to get the invitations out around 6 weeks before as we do have a few out of town guests.

On a happy not I bought my first lots of supplies! Simple plates and napkins, but it really makes me feel like I have made a start. Once I book the venue I will really need to get a move on.
