Hi all! Here's the thing... somehow I've got it into my head that I want to add an Illuminations dessert party onto our wedding plans. But DF is really hesitant and thinks it's a lot of money for something we don't "need."
Today I was talking to our planner Pam just to see if it was even plausible to make this happen (ie. is the venue I want open, what options do we have, do we have enough people, etc.) and she gave me a great idea. Let me preface by saying that we're planning on doing a rehearsal dinner in Epcot anyway at Canada. Well Pam suggested that since our party is only about 50 people we couldn't do a DP on the Italy Isola (for some unexplainable reason - maybe cause I'm Italian - this is the only place I want to have ours) it's a minimum of 100. Silly me I read wrong and thought it was maximum 100
! Anywho she said that if you do an outside dinner and dessert party the the minimum is 50 people! So of course I'm like ohhhhhh that's what I'd love to do. Because since we'd have Epcot catering we could choose similar food to what we'd get at the Canadian pavilion and a few other things we like too! According to Pam she thinks it really wouldn't add much on to the total of what it would be to do a separate dinner and dessert party - or even to just do a full course nice dinner.
OK I'm finally to the point where I'm asking for help - I know that was a long one so thanks for hanging in there!
I need help with arguments or reasons that I can give DF as to why this is an idea worth doing, and help appealing to his financial side that it's not just a whole lot of money that we don't need to spend. So I'd love any words of wisdom you all could provide!
Thanks again!
