Thanks to the DISign boards I have a wedding logo. I'll be using it on the programs, welcome folders and possibly the place cards. I added the boarder from my invitations.

I love your logo!! It is adorable. It will look so nice on everything!!

Thanks for the idea of back to school sales. I might just have to check that out for folders as well!!

I was so excited when the total was less than $5.00 for fifty folders. Oh and I had a back to school coupon too...that helped.

Love the logo. I am using the same Mickey and Minnie image in my logo!!!

I think the silhouette is so sweet.

My sister's friend designed that for our invitations. They're not done yet but will post once we're ready to mail.

I've been looking around for places to have the Rehearsal Dinner and we've decided on Raglan Road in DTD. Since we're having the ceremony at Germany for the DF I wanted to add some Irish to the wedding too. I contacted Raglan Road and they were so nice and acccomadating. I told them I'd have between 18-24 people but didn't know about the exact number until closer to the wedding. They said that was totally fine and and we are booked for June 18th at 5:00. There is a 2 hour limit for each reservation which is typical for any restaurant. I've worked at a few and some even only slot for 1.5 hour reservations.

They gave me an option of offering the full menu or they will print up limited menus with Congratulations to Meredith and Matt at the top if we decide on one. I think we'll probably end up doing that. We are planning on going to DTD when we're down for PS since we didn't have enough time on our last trip. The DF has never been to DTD or the Boardwalk so we'll be doing that instead of the parks this time. We'll stop in to Raglan Road too.

Wow I wasn't aware you could make any dinner reservations so far out!!!

 

[irishwishes]

Yea, I was actually pretty surprised too! I figured I'd just contact them and see what they'd say about having a big party for a rehearsal dinner. They wrote back with some details and them we confirmed for the date and time.

Hello and congrats on your engagement!

I love your idea for the newsletter!

What is the site name you found with all the DFTW prices on it? I couldn't click on the link here and I've been searching for a site like that forever...

it's magicalkingdoms with the .com and then you have to paste slash ftw/wdw/index.html on the end. That's the only way I can post this without it crossing out my stuff hopefully it's not too confusing

I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to do a planning session!

Your logo is really cool

Raglan Road will be so much fun for your Rehearsal! It's a great idea!

 

[disneemama]

Yeah for another Philly Disney bride, not one myself but DD is.

I'm really excited for it! I just made dinner reservations at Ohana while we're down there. I'm excited to show the DF the Poly and stuff. We really didn't get to explore any of the other resorts when we were there in February.

I like how I can bring some Irish into the festivities

I booked our room reservation for our PS and we're staying at Pop Century for February 11-13th. Our PS is Friday afternoon and then we have late dinner reservations at Ohana. We got the room only discount they just released a couple weeks ago. I'm now waiting for airfare prices to drop a bit.

I think I've come up with a theme for the wedding. I think we're going to go along the lines of "your ticket to the world". Since the ceremony is going to be at the Germany Pavilion and then we're going back to Epcot to drink around the world that night. Also, our invitations have an old Disney ticket feel.

My thought is to name the tables different countries. Since the tables only seat 6 at the LSS they're smaller then most tables. I'm thinking I can use the flags of each country as the main piece of the table. I'm probably not describing this very well. I just don't know how exactly I'm going to display the flag. Any ideas?

I tweeked some passports from the DISign boards for anyone that is coming back to Epcot after the wedding! They're not totally done yet but I will post once I think they look good enough.

Oh and I just got reasigned Amy Riendeau as my wedding planner. We are trying to set up a conference call to talk about my plans so far. I've seen all good things about her on here and I'm really excited to talk to her!

 

[irishwishes]

Haven't updated on here in a while so I thought I'd post a couple things. We were assigned Amy Reindeau as our new planner and I had a phone conference with her earlier this week. She sounds awesome and I'm really excited to work with her. We talked about our ideas for the wedding. I told her the things that are important to me, like live musicians for the ceremony and a DJ and things that I really don't care about, like special transportation. I threw out trying to stick to a budget and it sounded like we could make things work. We also pushed my planning session start time up a bit so we could fit in a menu tasting Matt and I have to go through the menus and fill out what we want to try

I've been trying to work on the planning packet and now the menu checklist but I feel like there is so much time between now and my PS in February. Oh and I got a checklist to for sitdown and buffet meal. I thought we were only allowed to have a buffet at the Living Seas so I'm assuming I only fill out the buffet checklist. Any thoughts?

As for other news I'm heading down to Washington DC this weekend with my sister to meet up with my other bridesmaid and go shopping. I don't even have colors picked out yet. I don't even think they're going to get matching dresses. I really don't care if they match or even if they are the same color. I told them I want to find a dress they love and it will work out great. I'm excited to just shop and go out to eat! I haven't seen my other bridesmaid for a couple years even though we g-chat all the time. She's been so involved in the planning I can't wait to see her.

 

[irishwishes]

So we had a successful shopping weekend and found bridesmaid dresses We ended up getting a purple chiffon dress from Nordstrom. I told my sister and my friend they didn't have to get the same dress but they ultimately decided they wanted the same dress. I think the dress looks great on both of them. We shopped ALL day and ended up with the first dresses they tried on! We had such an awesome weekend it makes me sad that my friend lives over 3 hours away from me.

We all hate the belt on the dress so they're going to look for belts or embellished sashes that look better. Maybe add a splash of color in there like yellow or something. The dress is also really lightweight and airy so it should be cool enough for the hot FL summer.

Sorry the picture from the website is really huge.

Wow, that's really pretty!
