Adorable Ring Bearers!

I don't have much wedding stuff to update on - I have about one more week of school left for this semester so I'm completely overwhelmed with school work! But I did get a super cute picture from my aunt that I wanted to share.

She purchased the outfits for my cousins to wear as ring bearers. They tried them on and look adorable:

I love the stuff that you picked up for the centerpieces. I have to say I find the knight adorable!!! I think you can definitely find somewhere for him to be.

I am so sorry about your school drama!!!! That really sucks. An advisor is supposed to ADVISE and then something like this happens. It is just terrible!!

I love the rehearsal dinner dress and your ring bearers are adorable!!

 

[Tale as old as Time]

Your cousins are SOOOO cute!! They'll be perfect!

Rehearsal Dinner

So it seems that the place for the rehearsal dinner has pretty much been decided. My parents went to visit them all tonight. They went to the two seafood places first - and both restaurants said they wouldn't do a private party because it's a Friday night of a holiday weekend, and even though they have the private room apparently they're just too busy? Not enough staff or something. So they were getting worried, but luckily the third place was willing to have us and still available for our date! So it seems that's probably where it will be. It was probably my last choice of the three, but it still seems nice. It's called the Brickhouse Brewery, we would have our own room, and have to have a minimum of 25 people. Here's some pictures my parents took while they were there:

Just going to double check with DF's dad, since he's paying for it, but we'll probably send in a deposit within the next few days. Here's the menu:

Probably going to do the buffet option... and then just carafes or wine or pitchers of beer for the alcohol? The beer and wine unlimited is $18 per person, which seems pretty high for a rehearsal dinner. I don't really think people will be drinking all that much? But we'll see... I'll leave that option up to future FIL.

the boys look so handsomely adorable! They seemed really happy too!

your ring bearers are sooooooo cute!! can i rent them for my wedding

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

I like your RD space! It looks quite cozy. And, I agree--- $18/pp for a RD is a LOT of money. $14 for some carafes and pitchers sounds like the way to go--- and maybe one or two rum punch bowls? (I know they're expensive, but that sounds yummy! Although, I might just be saying that because it's 95 degrees here today...)

 

[lilsqueakrr]

Thank you! They are usually happy kids, hopefully they will be so on the wedding day... one is a little shy. He was happy when we told him that he doesn't need to say anything

your ring bearers are sooooooo cute!! can i rent them for my wedding

Haha they have never been to Disney so I'm sure they'd love the trip Actually I wished there was a place I could rent a flower girl!

Yeah, I'm thinking that's what we will end up doing. I'm hoping we go for a rum punch bowl! It sounds really good to me too

Thanks girls!! Yeah, I do like the vibe from it, really good that they have a private room for us since it will be a Friday evening and the bar of that place downstairs is usually jumping... at least it's not karaoke night

Any ideas on how to decorate it? Not really sure if we're going to do many decorations, but if we are I'm just looking for some simple, easy ideas. We may even just go with balloons on the tables or something

 

[DoomBuggy0922]

Decorations? Hmmm. I do like the balloons! Or what about a bubble bowl with a daisy floating in the middle of it? Or a tea light in water or something?

 

[Tale as old as Time]

Mickey shaped balloons would be AwEsOmE!!!!!

 

[KristiLyn]

I think red mickey shaped balloons would look great!!!

 

[FlamingoAllie]

OMG...your cousins are the most adorable little boys I've ever seen (aside from my nephew of course! ) how precious! When I saw the pic of them, I had to drag DF over to the computer to check out how cute they were. He agreed that they were ridiculously cute!

Not sure what to do with decorating. I do like the balloon idea, and Mickey balloons would be even better. If you did balloons, you could have a little UP theme going on ??? Although I do like the space, and think that it could stand on its own and just be simple and pretty. Maybe since you are doing the Fairytale side of Disney for the ceremony and reception, you could do the whimsical, fun side of Disney for the rehearsal? Balloons, mickeys, rides, toy story, UP, etc? Just a thought. Maybe this is getting more involved than you want to go! I'll try to restrain my self! But I think you have a great space so whether you go simply or out there, its going to look fabulous!

Love your rehearsal dinner location! It reminds we a lot of ours, we had it kind of at an artsy place, yours has a very artsy feel. For decorations my MIL kept it pretty simple with tablecloths and centerpieces because the room was so ornate. Your room is very unique as well. I like everyone's ideas on here for you. I can't wait to see the finish product you all are getting so close!!
