Man you are the Glitter King!(Queen? Not sure how that works LOL). I LOVE LOVE LOVE those for favor boxes!!! Are they going to be hard to make a ton of them?
Thank you so much and you may call me a Glitter Queen anytime. They are so much prettier.
About the in-home reception I agree with the ladies that have replied before me. I think a third party would be sooo much stress, a get-together with snacks to show everybody photos, etc, sounds like a plan.
I went to an awesome engagement party a year ago, it was held in the backyard of the bride, they just strung some lights around for decor/lightning, got a bunch of folding tables with white table cloths and mason jars with flowers from the grocery store, the stereo from inside playing an ipod playlist, a bunch of snacks from Costco, a cake, and use mismatched chairs that they gathered from friends and family to give it a very informal yet incredibly cute garden party look.
We all felt it was just perfect and the bride and groom were sorely tempted to be married in the spot because it turned out so cute with such little hassle.
They also had soda and beer available and a friend that is a bartender had volunteered to put up a bar as a wedding present, so there was an open bar to boot.
It was a blast!
I agree with both of you. A nice simple affair will be fun. A garden party... I like it. We will have to work on that.
Hi, I'm a bit late but just wanted to join in and wish you all the best with your plans! We are planning for October 2011. Love your engagement story, so sweet
Thank you so much for your well wishes. I hope you are not late because I feel like I have just started this thing. I have barely anything done and hope I still have time. Best wishes for your October plans
Yay for being able to book something!
Maybe you can call back in a week or two to see if anyone has cancelled their rooms in advance to see if you can escape Saratoga.
Yeah, I would turn that into a pre-honeymoon considering you have both the Food & Wine Festival & the Halloween party to celebrate. Are you going to dress up for the
MNSSHP? I'm trying to convince DF for us to attend and dress up.
I am so glad you were able to get a room somewhere!!! And get tickets to MNSSHP. It would be so fun to dress up and go!!
We both enjoy the Saratoga Resort just wanted something different this time. I am so excited about getting to see Disney during Halloween and can not wait. I will have to see about dressing up though.
OMG, he is adorable!
I agree with you, giving up the flowers is totally worth having him.
He is so cute!! I agree with your logic on the flowers. If I was offered a Shih tzu puppy but it to come out of the flowers I would definitely say yes!!
apparently my color scheme has gone from navy and yellow to black and white. I wonder if this means we can bring him down for the wedding?????
Jasper! from 101 Dalmations! I love love love it!
If I had a prize you would win... you rock and are the first one to get the connection.
Just signing onto your planning journal now..congrats on your wedding! I love the Mickey Pops you made and also the Mickey favor boxes, they're sooooo cute!
Oh, and I've been BEGGING my fioncee for a dog like the one you just got, you're so lucky. Congrats!
(oh, and incase you were wondering, this is my 50th post on the threads. wohoo!)
Congrats on your 50th post... I am still having nightmares about those darn Mickey pops LOL. I have been unable to bring myself to make a second batch. I also still have to start working on those Mickey favors and welcome stuff. Oh where does the time go?
Just remember when you hear Dalmatians are hyper- active they are! I love them and would not have them any other way.
.On a happier note it looks like we are going the first thing in October for our PS. Our STD's are still a work in progress but coming along . and I am happy enough with one craft that I am going to post a pic of it. Mine you this is only a trial sample. I thought I would look for some feedback though.
I guess because we are not going to have any kids this trip I am going to have to consider this our honeymoon 
Flowers for wedding will only last a day but once the wedding is over I will still have a dalmatian waitng for me. I think I made the right choice even though I had to sleep on the floor last night.
