Also remember...Pat and I are driving down. You can always have us drive things down that you need to bring! We are more than happy to do that of course Also, I think if we make the carnation balls I would fear them getting squished in shipping or something. Paper can do that very easily.

Oh...and the idea of making the Pomanders. I LOVE doing stuff like that...I used to do stuff like that for fun lol. I once made a 4 foot tree completely out of Origami for a class project

One other thought...I could use another limo service right?? I just found a company that rents Chrysler 300 Limos at $90 for an hour. I contacting them to find out if there is a minimum or if we could just do an hour or so, pickup/dropoff kinda thing. Eric wants a Chrysler 300 so bad (probably our next car) and would just love this. It's WAY less than the Disney quote!!

Oooo that is fun!

First... Happy four months!!! WOOHOO!!! This is coming up really quick! holy moley!


Second... On top of being a HUUUGE fan of lindsay's wedding (I totally lurked you PJ/TR) she gave you some GREAT ideas! I would get rid of the transportation like she said and i would definatly see if you can just ship the pomanders. You can make beautiful ones and there was a whole section on how to make them on martha stewarts wedding website.

HTH!

Haha...there are few things Eric gets excited about...Pink flowers (who knew!), the Yankees, Mickey and Minnie at the wedding...and THIS car, lol. He's gonna love it. Cross your fingers!!

Ok first...I saw how the two of you packed on your last trip I feared my pomanders wouldn't fit, lol. No seriously, you asked for it. Let's try and make some and see what happens!! I'll have to find out how big my pomanders are to see if we can match what would go in the vase!!

And a 4 ft tree out of Origami ? I knew we were friends for a reason!!


I know right!? I'll have to see what their quote is but it's $90 an hour. Our quote from Disney is almost $400!!!

$400 an hour???

This time we are not bringing the cooler so everything we bring will fit in our trunk. We will have plenty of room in the back seat for things. Believe me...that car was no where near packed. You haven't seen us pack to drive to California for a summer...it's ridiculous!

Just a thought on transportation - we used "one way" 8 passenger vans - thru disney - and they were only $25 each.
Our whole bridal party was at Coronado Springs, but we started our day with pics at Boardwalk - so we took vans - worked out nicely!

No not for an hour...well actually I'm not sure!! The limo would pick up Eric and his side of the family to be at the GF at 3:15 then us at 4:15. So maybe an hour and a half??? UGH So much!!

Ok wait. I just checked Carrie's passporter. They are charging me to CHARTER the limo which is a minimum of 3 hours at 94.16 an hour...so if you do the math they are charging us for 4 hours! I don't get it because I think the MotorCoach shuttle comes back for the bridal party after the guests are dropped off!

We were also quoted the motor coach from 4-12:30!! We aren't using it to transport guests until we have to...so I figure we don't need it until 6 when it takes everyone over to AK so that should cost us less also.

Thanks for that info!! I love DFTW but it seems they try to charge you the most they can until you speak up! Thanks god for these boards and Carrie's book!!

So do you think he'll no longer be in love with the Rolls then?

How are you getting your dress down to Florida? Are you sending it with Lauren?

Disney might not let a company that is not Mears go backstage. I'd check with them before you booked another company.

Edited: okay, i just read that it's only for pre-ceremony.
Will this company let you book something for only an hour??? I'd ask if there is a minimum

Yea it would definitely only be for pre-ceremony. They do transfers and stuff from the airport to a hotel so I am kinda hoping that they would do this. Plus since it's a Wednesday maybe business will be slow enough they'll agree!

You're getting some great ideas Mandy!

My DH is hooked on your thread, he has me update him every night. LOL

 

[PeytonSdiz]

Mandy, have you decided on music stuff yet?

Will you be having a first dance and all that?

What songs have you chosen?

For my wedding centerpieces I bought some beautiful lanterns at Target, they were copper leafy pattern over frosted glass and they hung on a little stand. $6. What do the lanterns you have picked look like? I am 99.999999% sure you can find something similar and a heck of a lot cheaper at Pier 1 or Cost Plus or whatever. With only 40 guests, that's what? 5 or 6 tables. Very easy to cut that budget down to about $100.

I am totally thinking about hiring an outside company to take us from the Attic to the backstage area at epcot. I obviously am going to ask Disney / the planner first, but i refuse to pay $400+ for a 10 minute ride to the DP at Epcot. If Disney agrees, the company only need some kind of confirmation or permission thing to get to the backstage area. We are getting our guests to meet a Boardwalk themselves to save on $$$ and then they can walk to SBP, and then to the Attic, the only transport we need is from Attic to Epcot which is a stone's throw away!

I have seen some party bus limos that could carry everyone (approx 35 ppl) and they look AMAZING and the quotes ranged from $200 - $300. I need it for only 1 hour service (well about 30minutes if only going from Attic to Epcot!!!).

When we get round to asking the planner, i will let you know what they say regarding letting another company outside let us use transport and about the backstage area for drop off...
