Everything looks great! I think your BM gifts are great! I gave me girls a bridesmaid tshirt (I got VS shirts and used the same transfers as you), then a spa robe to get ready in and flip flops. I think your girls will love it!

Your shoes and rehearsal dress are so cute!

AWESOME news on renting DVC points!! Where are you all staying?

The candy buffet is super cute too! I had thought about doing it but bringing in the candy and etc got too complicated, so we did it at my shower instead. Your boxes are too cute!

Your engagement pictures are gorgeous by the way, love them!!

On a side note, do you know your buttons came from Wendy on here? She has her own etsy shop and is so amazing! (princesswendy). We had her make our RD menus, programs and signature drink sign and they all came out great. Your buttons are awesome!

Loving the dress.

I'm not sure on the BM gift front but it seems like a good amount of gifts to me.

Thank you! I always feel like its not enough when it comes to gifts.

Thank you for all the compliments!

Ive been reading through your trip report, and Im not going to lie Im a little obsessed! Your wedding was beautiful! I loved the colors, just everything about it! You were a beautiful bride!!

I actually found out after I ordered the buttons that Wendy had a PJ on here. Im most likely going to order more stuff from her closer to the time, I love her work!

And to answer your question, we are staying at the Boardwalk Villas for the wedding. DF wants to be able to walk to Epcot as thats his favorite park!

I love it all! Your engagement pictures are so cute.

I'm doing a candy buffet too, and I keep brainstorming containers. I think cute bags are the way to go. I like the ones you picked.

I used to have a pair of hot pink heels, and your dessert party shoes are making me sad that i destroyed them. So much fun.

You efficiency the past few weeks really makes me feel like a slacker. I was doing so well, and then the weather got nice and I got distracted. I need to get my act together!

Love the candy buffet! I think its a great favor since everyones out of town and will most likely looks something thats small and in-edible

I sound like Im doing more than I really am lol! All of that was done over 5 or 6 weeks so Im not really THAT productive!!

Went to the Disney Store yesterday. They were having their twice upon a year sale.

I left with 30 of these for the out of town bags

They are definitely study enough to hold all the items I plan on putting in. Granted the colors are way off of my theme.. but they're out of town bags and they're covered in hearts with mickey! Plus Im thinking guests can use them to put pool towels in or stuff to bring to the parks.

I also left with 6 "Love" Tumblers with straws for the girls as part of their gift. As i posted two days ago I was planning on purple tumblers.. However these are so cute! Plus, they were $4.49 a cup! Who could pass that up?? I wanted to post a picture but for some reason theyre no longer on the disney site

Congrats! I know I'm a little late to the game, but I love your engagement photos! DF and I are looking at using Misty Miotto for our wedding next year. But, so excited for you!!

Never to late! I still have 8 LONG months to go!!

I highly recommend Misty Miotto.. Her and her husband Nelio are so friendly, extremely down to earth, and try to make sure you get the best pictures possible! We were able to view our engagement pictures in a week, and they were delivered on a disc within a month to our house. We had over 600 just for our engagement shoot! So far I have zero complaints.

I ordered the same bags four our welcome bags too! Same amount of bags too! I have the same exact situation/feelings about the color scheme.. our colors are blue & green.. but the price was right, and they have hearts all over them so who cares?!

 

[nic100308]

Everything looks great! I think that your bridesmaids gifts are perfect and there is plenty in their little bags for them. And everything in there they can use after the wedding so I think that it's a very nice gift.

I love your dessert party dress!! It's so fun and flirty I think it's perfect. May I ask why you decided to change? I know DF and my brother wanted to but I pulled rank and said I wanted fireworks pictures. Sometimes it's good to be the bride!

I really like those bags, I may have to see if my Disney store has them and use them as "gift bags" for our ornament favors.

You cant go wrong with that quality/size bag for that price! I have to get over my OCD for this mismatching wedding item

Thank you! I love my dessert party dress! Our dessert party is two days before our wedding, its sort of a "welcome event". I wouldnt be allowed to wear my wedding gown into the park since Im not getting married that day.. however I would have loved pictures of me in my gown with the fireworks!

Just caught up on your PJ. Everything you have planned so far is spectacularly beautiful. Your engagement photos are so romantic and lovely. And those pink shoes for your dessert party are fabulous! Loving everything.

Can't wait to read more!

[nic100308]

OHHHH!!! Totally makes sense now!! Sorry about that!

I do really love that dress and now you will have pictures of you and DF on that night in the beautiful dress!! It will be nice to have a variety of pictures, my fear is that all the pictures I have of me and DF will be wedding pictures.

Can't wait to hear more!!!

7 Months 12 Days till we board the plane!

Its been awhile since I've updated, but that hasn't stopped my wedding planning! I went to PA this weekend with DF and our son. His mom and sister also came along. We were able to buy the majority of the glasses needed for the candy buffet! Im very excited over this since it was pretty cheap! We also found a few candy stores who sell bulk candy in specific colors and they also were fairly cheap. Plus, DF prefers to buy from local stores not big corporations.. so this was a huge plus!

Inspiration Pictures:

What I have so far:

I plan on purchasing two more large skinny vases for either side. I also want a flat glass tray for the area in front of the trifle bowl where we are going to do chocolate covered pretzel rods.

Candy We Plan to Use:

Im very excited over the candy buffet, and I think our guys are going to love it!!

Next Monday the flights are released for our travel dates which is very exciting! Wednesday is also when Disney is allowing guest to book 2013 packages! Very exciting week coming up!!

LOVE your colors and ideas for the candy buffet!!!! beautiful. quick question though....will they set that up for you or do you have to pay extra for it??? or do you have to have someone from your family set it up???

its almost time for our planning session.....we hope to run into you down there!!! its so exciting!!

what did you pick for your tasting ???

 

[kkbutterfly]

hi! I just recently discovered your PJ!

Just a note about the candy bar - I'm doing one too, but you do realize that Disney has to provide the candy? I requested the Mickey shaped licorice from Goofy's Candy Shop and they charged me an arm and a leg!

Hopefully your stuff is more affordable!

Not sure yet, I have to ask Disney. If I need to set up I know my aunt would be more than happy to help me out with that. I actually just e-mailed my planner now with all these questions!

For the menu tasting I picked the Le Cellier inspired Filet Mignon because its our favorites! The herb crusted chicken, I forget the fish since I dont eat seafood We are also trying the Le Cellier inspired cheddar cheese soup, a loaded potato skin, the lobster beignets, teryaki beef sticks and I cant remember what else DF picked!

Im so excited!! I have one month and 5 days till I leave.. not that Im extremely excited or anything Hopefully we run into each other!!!!

I was not aware of that at all! I was under the impression that we could bring in anything we wanted except for the cake and food??? I just e-mailed my planner freaking out! Thanks for the heads up!!!
