Orangetiggs Planning journal

Ok so since we are in the uk I thought it would be easier for me to send save the dates to our guests so they can book up flights etc as it gets busy with flights to orlando.

So I went and asked over on the creative board for some designs and the come back with a few and my favs are:

and

I think I'm going with the second one as its so sweet

I love the second one.. SO adorable

Thanks for all your nice comments.

We my Mum ordered my dress today so I'm so pleased I have it ordered. I went to a shop today and tried on my size and it fitted so perfectly and it just felt so right. I had originally tried on a us size 8 which I'm not so it was hard to imagine but I found this one which is a us size 12 and it fitted like a glove!

I was worried that they might stop makeing it as its not a new dress in maggie sotteros collection so I could not wait nearer my wedding date to get it

Ok so my dress is ordered and I'm so excited that I have the one I wanted!

We are having a few venues issues at the moment as I'm worried about the size of places etc as we only have around 25 guests and dont want us to look silly in a venue and I also want my guests to think WOW this is so nice but its hard. Another thing that we are worried about is all the food mins at different venues, we liked the napa room cos of the view but it has a $3000 min and i'm not sure how 25 of us will be able to eat that much as we are not big drinkers!

Oh well

I have been making my BM jewellery as a hobby I was starting like the tiara making! Well here is my first finished bracelet. its pale pink pearls and clear swavorski crystal.

here is a close up

I have just made a necklace as well that is the same but has a drop so its the shape of a Y with a larger swavorski crystal at the bottom of the Y. i will post pics once I have taken some

Everything looks amazing! Great job with the jewellry

Hope you get the venue you want - I think out of them all I would go for the Napa Room as it's close to the WP, has a dance floor, and the view is just awesome! I have already told DBF that the Napa Room is the place I want my reception! I think you could easily reach $3,000 if you can afford it. The slipper out of ice is $20pp so you could do that? That's $500. The slipper dessert too?!

I'm not sure if you can do it, but an idea I had to cut costs if you wanted a IllumiNations dessert party, was to rent out the Napa Room. Say you had your dinner at 5pm - around Wishes time you could lay out a few of the mini desserts maybe and watch Wishes from the Napa Room? Or maybe even from the roof of the Contemporary

We're from the UK too, and even though I am not even close to getting married (not even engaged!), it doesn't hurt to have a few ideas in mind Like you we probably wont have a lot of guests so don't want to look silly in a very large venue - as I've noticed, most places have seatings for 10. It's why I think the Napa Room is perfect as it still has that WOW factor of the view, and a place to dance without feeling like you're knocking about the place

I had not even thought about that! What a great idea then we dont have to worry about moving our guests as well!

It hit me a couple of days ago :haha: You might even be able to pipe the Wishes music in somehow, I'm not sure... but it might be worth mentioning to your WP

Yes I'm going to, originally when I saw the napa room in the wishbook i thought we could watch the fireworks but then got caught up wanting a dessert party so I could still have both but at a different location!

If I wanted a dessert party that badly I suppose I could hold a welcome party at epcot and do it then if our budget allows
