After we sent out most of the invitations, I made up one more and sent it off to the White House. Apparently if you send a wedding invitation six weeks before the event, you stand a good chance at receiving a card back. Yes, I know it’s not personally signed by the President and First Lady, but I thought it would still be a fun keepsake – if we get something back.

You can see I didn’t risk this envelope being delivered “postage due”, and sent a simple card with a ribbon. It should have been fine.
Before I get any comments of derision for getting a keepsake from President Obama, let me stop you there. I won’t discuss politics here. You don’t have to agree with me, but we both have a right to our opinions.
No judgment.
Thank you.
what will you do if they accept your invitation and really come? :) that would be exciting, wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt would be very exciting!
DeleteRegardless of your political position, having a card from the President of the United States is quite an honor!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm hoping it arrives before the wedding so we can display it at the reception. :o)
DeleteI would love it if I got a keepsake from President Obama! It would be exciting if he showed up! I think I'd pass out. I know he is a little busy right now, so he probably won't be able to make it.... but hey, you never know!

LOL! Linda, I actually share a 6th great-grandmother with President Obama, so we're extremely distant cousins of a sort. Wouldn't it be fun to introduce him as "my cousin the President"?
DeleteTammy - I really like your new blog and am very happy you are blogging again. Since I am not on FB, I have missed what all is going on with you!
