I am someone, hear me roar
My assertiveness paid off. The admin person called back to say "I wasn't able to get another venue, is that ok?" and I laughed at her. "Hahahaha," I said, "No, of course that's not ok. How could it be ok?"
I kindly said that we could leave it another 24 hours to see if any of the venues she'd left voicemail for would return her calls. She called back later to say that one had done just that; a church hall about five minutes' walk away. As it happens, the secretary lives around the corner, about 90 seconds walk away. The booking has been confirmed, I have given the secretary a cheque for the rental and one for the deposit, and I have in my greasy little paws the key to the venue.
So I have also edited the invitations and sent them off again in the post. I have yet to finish dealing with the hand-delivered ones but those are easier to sort out anyway.
Now I can celebrate Linnea as enthusiastically as I wanted to. It's time to choose banners, disposable tableware, and sandwich fillings.
I should probably see about wine for the grownups, too.
