Maggie & Scott Planning Journal: SBP/FIE April 1st, 2008-INVITATION PICS! 7/22

[Cinderella22]

Yay!!!!
First I just want to say thank you to all of the fellow disbrides/grooms. Without this board, I doubt I would have had half of the stuff doen that I do, nor would I be as organized as I am. SO-THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I have officially booked my Magic Kingdom photoshoot. It is for 6am the day after the wedding. I am not very happy about the time, but whatever--I can't pass up pics in my gown in front of the castle. It is a once in a lifetime chance. I decided to call myself, rather than waiting for my planning session because I was afraid I wouldn't get the date I wanted.

Also, I finalized reservations for our planning session and couldn't be more happy that I actually got them! It is Sept 30-Oct 5, 2007 at Beach Club Villas. I orginally planned to go down Sept 15th but we could get reservations for then, but this works out great anyway.

Question for anyone: My contract will be signed on Aug 1st. Does anyone know how long it will take to get our AP's so that we can use them for our planning session?
Thank you for all of your help
Maggie

I just love everything you have planned! I especially love the welcome bags and items for them!!!!!! I'm actually jealous that I can't have welcome bags since I won't be having a disney wedding. However guests are traveling an hour and a half or more but I doubt that would require a welcome bag.

I just have a couple updates and I also wanted to list off everything I have done, to help keep me organized.

I have created a Honeymoon Registry and a 3 item registry(if you can call it that) at Macy's. I originally wasn't going to create any, but my mom talked me into it. I'm happy I did now.

I also made a sample invitations. I found really neat paper at Michaels and could help myself. They still need soe tfixing, but the general idea is done.

I have booked our trip for the planning session. I have reservations made at the Beach Club Villas from Sept 30-Oct 5 (with a DVC point rental-I highly recommend DVC rental boards). AND when I called Disney to make ADR's for the week, I accidently scheduled dinner at California Grill on Sept 29th . . . so, rather than changing it, I just reserved the 28th and 29th as well at CBR.
I am so excited! I am trying to convince my mom and FMIL to come, but no luck yet.

Oh, Oh, Oh--and the most exciting thint is: we are having our engagement shoot with Randy on Oct 1st at 10:30am at GF. I am so excited to meet him, more so than the photos!

The bridesmaid's dresses are ordered--huge relief!

All of the dresses are in celadon green, with pink sorbet detail.

And last but not least--my wedding website is finally up and running!

Up next--my list

Thank you for all of the support and advice, without you guys I would be lost.

I just wanted to add that a thank you to Laura for giving my the park maps for my welcome bags! thank you sooo much!!

Okay, so I am allowed to post pictures now!! YAY! And, I got some wonderful information from my WC yesterday. She said that I can have a DJ, as long as he doesn't start until the park is closed--you have no idea how happy this makes me. Also, she had suggested, instead of a DJ, or even with one--going to Pleasure Island to party after the reception (it will be done between 10-11). Originally, she told me I couldn't wear my wedding dress there, but apparently she called personally to find out for sure and they said I definately could!!!!!
Today I found out about the gift AP passes--I wish sooo surprised and happy, especially because it's a good thing I found out before I bought them.
I don't have much of an update, so I am just going to post some pictures.

Here is a PC bag--for one of my bridesmaid who LOVES PC. Walmart has a TON of different Disney bags like this for .97 each--so I'm not sure if I should do the Disney bags for the Welcome bags, or just canvas with a transfer image.

Do you remember in what area of walmart you found these bags? They are great but I havent seen them there. Thanks!
