Ugh. That's no fun! I guess your best bet would be to look around for another location then. Is it possible to have a similar menu elsewhere? I'm assuming you can always get a ballroom at either the Contemp or the Grand. If you go with the Contemporary any chance you can keep the same menu? Boo such an unfortunate situation to outgrow your venue!
Yeah. Right now its just a waiting game. I think if we have to move, we'll move to one of the ballrooms at the Contemporary just for ease, but I really really hope not.
Sorry about the room dilemma. Are there any other restaurant options? Like Jiko or Narcosees, or something...? And there are other venues that aren't quite ballrooms, like LSS or the American Pavillion.
Since we've got an evening reception, resturants are pretty much out. Jiko has a private room, but we'd run into the same size issue. I originally wanted LSS, so that would be an option, but now that we have an outside photographer booked, it complicates things. GRR. My mom offered to eat in another room so she didn't have to talk to people
I might have to take her up on that.
That's really terrible with the room. Is there anyway you can get a definite answer from the "maybes"? Maybe if you explain the situation to them and how you will have to change locations they will be more likely to give you a definitive answer.
I think the GF would be more convenient since you're getting married at the WP. You can ask your planner, maybe you could get the same food. I know that you can get things from other Disney restaurants served in ballroom locations, so it's possible they could at least give you a few of the dishes you've picked out.
Good luck with everything!
Unfortunately, the "maybes" are all maybes for really good medical reasons. One had a baby yesterday, so she wants to see how the baby is before comitting... totally understand on that, but that's 4 people right there. Another is having knee surgery on December 8, so doesn't want to commit until she knows how she's feeling.... I don't want to pressure anyone, because they'll likely just change their answer.
The GF would be convienent to the WP, but almost all my guests are staying at the Contemporary, because we told them to
So, worst case we'll have to move to one of the Contemporary ball rooms. It's so bad, but I'm seriously just hoping that 1 group can't make it. Even just one, and we'd be okay because we can always do a sweetheart table and 5 tables of 10.
I just feel guilty hoping that guests don't want to come.
So for now it's just a waiting game. We have to switch our transportation anyway, because of the number confirmed, but we're sticking to the Napa room for now. Positive thinking
Oh my gosh! that is crazy! we are like neighbors! haha. I dont know how we missed eachother. okay, Im going to make my way through your pj, I'm like 5 pages in
Ok i'm done reading!
everything looks awesome I love the shoes. The nice thing i've learned about having size 8000 W feet is that you can find really great deals
I was originally going to do the reception at the napa room for wishes as well, but then i decided that i really wanted to do a DP the night of the wedding and a cheaper dinner to fit the budget.
My DF thinks he might know you- he graduated in 2001 from Sheboygan. He said that you look familiar, just throwing that out there.
I cant believe the fairy tale cuvee tastes like feet! My personal fav is Rosa Regale, I'm not sure if they will switch it though, I already put in the order for 4 bottles the fairy tale stuff
Thanks Amanda! That is funny. I went back and looked in your PJ, and your DF looks crazy familiar too. Did he ever work at the Children's Museum? I graduated in 2001 from Homestead, but my parents moved to Sheboygan shortly thereafter. We've probally run into each other and not even know it
We were super disapointed with the fairy tale cuvee, but like I said, some people really like it. It might be better if you have it with food? I'm with you though, I
Rosa Regale too! It might be cheaper than the fairy tale cuvee! (I saw it last week at Costco for like $13 a bottle)
Thanks everyone for reading along! We're 62 days out!
I stopped at Michaels this weekend to pick up some ribbon and they were having a huge clearance of Martha Stewart DIY wedding kits.
I got some simple invitations that I'm going to use as part of the menu cards for $5 for 50. I got some candy boxes 24 for $.70 and a program kit for $9 and a bunch of self adhesive gems. Actually, the only thing I didn't get was the ribbon I went there for
I also hit up the dollar bin at Target and they had blankets for $1. There were blue with snowflakes and pink princess ones. I bought two Targets out of them, and am on my way to two more tonight. We're going to provide these for our guests at the Dessert party in case it's cold and/or for their chairs as padding. They're perfect because for $1, I don't care if we leave them there or if anyone uses them.
Sorry I'm at work right now, so I don't have pictures of any of this, I'll update later with the pictures.
I seriously can't believe it's coming so fast! Our final payment on our hotel is due next week! (to me that's always an indicator that it's coming FAST)
Now I just feel like...what am I forgetting?
Very unique and great choice!
gald to "help" 
and finger crossing that the group that has the French Island Lower (or whatever it's called now) tentatively held decides against it and we get it!!
