I would definatly have a shower, but maybe do what Adelia said... dont call it a "shower" call it something else. And like Dhay said put on the invite that just their presence is gift enough. I would totally have the party if your amazing MOH and mom want to throw it!
A tea party sounds like a lovely idea! A recipe exchange is good thinking too. Nice work MOH
We did a recipe exchange at my shower and I love the recipes I got!! It is a fun thing to do.
I'm glad everyone things I'm a good MOH...never been one before so I'm totally playing this by ear!
. PLUS we are going to do the live web casting with STVS so Eric's Grandma can watch at home!!
OMG That is so cool!! The first time you are MoH and it's my wedding
So we contacted Randy and Stan about doing the combined package. We are only picking them for 3 hours. I figure 1-4 p.m. would be good. Pre-Wedding Photos, the ceremony and then about 45 min for extra pics...Maybe we will do 1:30-4:30. Then we just won't have the photographer for dinner (but we have Lauren and my dad
I think that is plenty of photography. You don't really need someone taking photos of you eating dinner
What are you trying to say
You don't need PROFESSIONAL photos of you eating dinner...it is always fun though when you get the photo of yourself with your mouth wide open and full of food
Lol ya...we can do that anytime
When do you come home again??
Yeah, we have enough photos of us eating I think. It is what we do!
We come home Friday. We'll be home before Pat has to work so probably around 5ish. Then I have a wedding in Canandaigua on Saturday and I work at Bandit's Sunday. I am hoping that you aren't doing anything Monday and I can come see your apartment and we can go bridesmaid shopping then! I think it may be the only time before June or even before we come back from Disney that we are both free.

Yes I'm so silly! 
It's inevitable that you're going to upset someone by having the wedding that YOU want, but that's the most important thing (and something that your DF wants too...I guess)
This is me being awesome at playing on words: You should call it a bath instead.
Anyway...I LOVE the fan idea! I may even steal it! Esp. if we get married in japan or china. Sorry about the drama:
If you dont I will!!!!! I think bridal bath sounds wayyyy better than bridal shower!Lol of course you were!!! Tell me if you find any cute ones. I like the ones I posted but was thinking maybe green instead.
What are you doing for music. Eric kinda likes the idea of a violinist...but he also thought I was going to walk down the aisle to Here Comes the Bride
I was thinking of getting an IPod but no sure it's worth the money for a short period of time.
Hopefully we can sit down tonight and hammer out the budget...
I mean for an escape wedding i don't think anything more would be necessary but thats my opinion, what you decide is totally up to you. Do you know what songs you want??
for contacting Randy!!!
OMG please call it a bath!!!!!
I'll definatly let you know if i find any cute fans!
As far as music goes DF and I think the violinist is the way to go. We read about them alot of the boards and everyone (except for a few) seemed to like their violinists. However that being said we haven't discussed music yet.... I have read that they can learn songs for you if you give them enough time in advanced.
hmmm.... now you've got me thinking about song selections!!!
Oh and
So I am sending off my deposit to STVS!!! Since I didn't need Randy for the original 7 hours I booked him for, he allowed me to change my package. I have 3 hours with both Randy and Stan PLUS the webcasting for Eric's grandma (and anyone else that wants to watch!!).
Now if I could only book the actual wedding
Who is Stan?
