Hi there! I'm another at-home Disney bride signing on for your PJ! I love everything so far! Your dress is gorgeous on you! The color is perfect. And I'm so excited about your blog! What a cool idea! Looking forward to following along!
Love your save the dates! Very elegant! I have been toying with the idea of doing a postcard save the date instead of the magnets, but I just don't want people to lose them, and with a magnet it tends to stick around longer- but that's just me
Haha... love how you send the black line ones to the guys...
Aww I love your save the dates! They have such a romantic feel to them!
Save the Dates
Once we had the date settled on, we had to send out the STDs. (Actually, this is a little out of order since we visited the reception hall and booked it before the STDs, but I'll detail the reception hall adventure later). I wanted something simple with an elegant fairy tale theme. I also just wanted to do a postcard (postage is cheaper), nothing fancy. I thought about printing my own but I checked out VistaPrint, and their prices are so good that it probably would've cost me as much if not more to do it myself in paper and printing ink. So here's the design I chose:
I was really pleased, it was basically the look I was going for. The only bad thing was that about 20 of the postcards had a black dotted line (a cutting line?) visible along the top of the back. I could've complained, and they probably would have sent new ones, but it would've taken some time and I just didn't feel like dealing with it. I had ordered extras anyway, and I just sent any with black lines to Jason's guy friends - I figured they wouldn't really notice anyway
Up next: reception hall and ceremony location details!
Your reception hall looks very nice. I agree about the chandeliers; they add to the room. Definitely gives it that "wedding" feel.
I like all the Italian dishes on the entree selections, but that's my favorite type of food, and if I had my way I'd choose from just that category. Although the steak teriyaki sounds delicious, as well.
You've got some tough choices ahead!
Scratch the bow tie suggestion. That has eggplant, too. What about the eggplant parm and pasta primavera then?
