Jenn050709's Planning Journal~~May 7, 2009~~**05/09/07 Update~BM Dress Ideas**

[Jenn050709]

I found THE perfect tiara at the bridal salon I went to. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the designer I'll post some pictures of ideas for me and BM's here.

Tim has found a few bands that he likes at Titanium Era.

Gaia

Kryptonite

Those are the only 2 he's told me about. I'll post more if he finds them.

I haven't decided whether I'd like one single band, or 2 chevron bands around my e-ring. I'll post ideas here.

 

[Jenn050709]

After they're sent out, I'll let everyone know!!

 

[Jenn050709]

I'm not sure what we're doing with these.

 

[Jenn050709]

I'm not sure what type of program we're going to have yet.

 

[Jenn050709]

I'm not sure what type of a cake we want.

 

[Jenn050709]

I'm not sure if we're going to have a full Disney package, or if we're just going to do a Disney park session.

 

[Jenn050709]

I'm not sure if we're going to do this through Disney or if we're just going to have Tim's friend take care of it for us.

 

[Jenn050709]

We are planning on driving down to Disney with our bridal party (unless they choose to fly). The last couple days after the wedding will be spent at Disney and will be a semi-honeymoon. Then we're planning on taking a Carnival cruise to the Caribbean for 7 days.

Side note: This is one of the reasons we decided to have a destination wedding. Instead of having everything crammed into 1 day, we're going to have a relaxing week with family and friends and just have a FUN time

 

[Jenn050709]

I'm not sure what we're doing here. We do want to help out as much as we can with expenses, because we do understand how much of a financial burden this will be on everyone and want to show how much we appreciate them being with us.

We have a few ideas so far, but I won't post them until we officially decide.

 

[Jenn050709]

We have NO idea what we want to do with this yet.

 

[Jenn050709]

I'll post hotel info for our hotel and our guests'.

 

[Jenn050709]

Obviously, since we're getting married in Disney, everything inthe basket will be about the area and different things that we will have planned for our guests. I thought it would be a great idea to have a private fireworks display/dessert party one night, kind of as a "Welcome Party".

Some ideas for fillers:

*Bottle(s) of water
*Snacks/Gum/Mints
*Map of the Area/List of Things to Do/Attractions
*Itinerary for the weekend (or days before and day of the wedding)
*Souvenir/Food/Magnet related to where you are getting married (city they are visiting)
*Welcome note from bride and groom
*snacks such as cookies, chips etc in the snack size bags, mini waters
*disposable camera
*chocolate with name/date on them
*quarters
*min bottles of bubble bath
*votive candles
*Itinerary of things to do

More helpful info for OOT baskets:

If you can find some cheap, maybe slippers or eye covers for help sleeping. Perhaps an aroma therapy candle (you can get votives at Wal-Mart for like 57 cents or something).

Snacks like trail mix, fresh fruit, cookies, veggies - anything they don't have to go out for is probably going to be very appreciated.

And a map of the area. Give them an overview of how to get places from their hotel. You can include little notes (this place has wonderful pizza, or watch out for their hot wings - they've earned their name!) This can be included with the coupons. Guests who have no clue where they're at will definitely love it.

Anything wedding/site related. If you have a butterfly themed wedding, find something cute with butterflies. Or, if you're wedding is a garden theme - give them a packet of seeds with a little note. It could be seen as a second favor if you will. Or, if your wedding is in a big city (Chicago, LA, NYC, Atlanta etc) go get some cheesy tourist thing and include it in the bag.

I haven't the SLIGHTEST clue what I'm going to get him. Thankfully I've got 2 years

 

[Jenn050709]

Again, no idea what we're going to do with this one.

 

[Jenn050709]

Well, for sure we want to register at Target...we practically live there

And we'll probably end up registering at either Bed, Bath & Beyond or Linens 'n Things.

Tim would like to have a Vintage Rolls Royce for him and the guys. For me and the girls, I'll either have a horse drawn carriage or Cinderella's Coach.
