It's oh so quiet today, it seems like a perfect time to ramble on about myself!
Thanks to all of you so much for your input on the invitations! It's very helpful and it gives me something to do! The response to the Mickey and the Castle invitations we very tepid, one of my maids (as in groomsmaids) actually told me she would be disappointed if she got the Mickey invite, I told her she was being a bit melodramatic. Oh well, I really loved them all, and I would have been happy with any choice that was made. I would have been thrilled had I received an envelope with a Mickey Mouse invitation, but I think for the general population, they're going to be much more likely to be floored by the folder with the inserts.
Good news! Yesterday I got an email from our Wedding Planner telling us they had received our contract and were processing our deposit, that means we are super seriously totally official
This week since we knew our contract was on the way we also sent off deposits to the photographer and the photobooth people, so they are all locked in! I'm really excited, things are coming together very nicely,
soon I will rule the world and you all all bow to me!!
Ignore that last part. Anyway, I think we have finally decided on a band and I am going to work on locking them in this week, and that will mean the only big item to take care of will be the flowers and decoration.
Speaking of which, I'm a little peeved about that. We met with a florist a month ago, and I am still waiting for an initial quote from him, after I've already gotten two initial quotes from other florists almost instantaneously. I called this guy because I've seen his work and I like it (and we went out, a long time ago, and it was never really serious) and nothing, so I'm not really feeling inspired with a lot of confidence.
Well now that we are going to get an event planner I am going to set some time to talk to Disney Floral, but I think it will be pricier than it would be to go with an outside company. I am trying not to spend a whole lot of money on the floral, as it's not really a priority for either one of us, and that money would be much more well spent on our awesome honeymoon!
So I didn't even tell you guys about our kick-butt honeymoon! We have decided to go on a 20 day Mediterannean cruise, it's going to be a blast, and it will be a trip both of us will love.
Also we are probably going to make our own program fans, they look like this (I borrowed the pic from one of the ladies on the wedding boards).
So between making these, and making the invitations, I should have enough to keep me busy for a while.
