Today is brought to you by How to calculate your wedding's carbon footprint, and related topics. I'm not so sure on their formula; if I have four people on the same flight, why does that count 4 times? And I don't use any more electricity in hotel rooms than I would at home, so it's just changing whose power grid the electricity is used on...
Oh well. I'm running through the list of caterers (a thing I meant to do ages ago) and crossing most of them off as way too upscale. There are a couple I want to talk to, though, before making a final decision whether to manage the food myself, sacrifice some elegance on drinks, and make someone else deal with the end-of-party take-down. I have learned that, should I hire the caterers who did the Inaugural Luncheon (and presumably pay them some astronomical sum of money) I could have elegant dinner dishes consisting of pretty green soup served in bowls that are nested in the middle of a plate of growing grass complete with real dirt for each place setting. I feel that food is not actually this important to me, and besides, we're not having place settings.
Only nine more websites to look at. Sigh.
