It’s cool that you’re already getting responses. I remember feeling crazy about who had responded, or who we might have actually missed sending a card to. Plus, just for propriety, we purposefully sent out a bunch of invitations to people we were certain wouldn’t respond, but would be sad if they found out they hadn’t been invited (like long distance family and friends). And then I was nervous someone like that would respond – and we’d go over our budget.

When it comes down to it though, it’s a lot of unnecessary worry. People will respond or they won’t, and it typically works out the way you need it to – with just the right number of people showing up on the big day.

There’s nothing wrong with the color pink (and like you mentioned, had this been a Breast Cancer thing I would have been totally cool with it) but retailers and marketers need to realize that just “pinking and shrinking” a gadget won’t make us buy it.
