Since you are so crafty and on the ball for your wedding...I just had to post this idea on your thread in case you didn't see it on my other thread. You are one of the DISbrides that I could see doing this!

If you want to go an extra mile...put baskets in the restrooms for your guests during the reception. You can include a stain stick or stain wipes, hand sanitizer, aspirin, lotion, hand wipes, a sewing kit, safety pins, breath mints, etc.

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing!!

Everything is coming together so nicely! I love the lighting pics and the save-the-dates!! I am thinking about using the columns at the WP too

Exactly 9 months from today, I marry my Prince Charming!!
So what? Im a little excited..lol

We've (I've) decided to do a Welcome Brunch in lieu of the Dessert Party. Im getting more for my money and I think my guests will appreciate a full meal a little more than some dessert..although the fireworks would have been fantastic.. Now that weve decided were going the brunch route, we have Narcoossee's on hold for that Saturday morning! We just need to look over the menu and decide all that. So just for fun, here's a picture of Narcoossee's. I know you all know what it looks like but I think pictures really make the posts a lot more fun!

I have another phone meeting with Lisa my WP on Tuesday to discuss things and get her input on all the situations and options that are flashing through my head at this point...its intense! (Were still holding the DP locations until we talk things over, which I think is a brilliant idea!)

Mom found the bracelet I will wear, it goes with my earrings really well..and I just love it! Go Mom!!

Our uplighting company is fantastic! They are running a special this month that adds on 4 free lights to your package if you book by the end of Feb..its an awesome deal!! Oh and if you are interested in getting a custom gobo, I would go through them. I think someone mentioned Disney quoted 250 or 350 maybe? And we are getting ours for 100! Let me know if you want their information..I cant say enough great things about them!

I signed a contract and sent the deposit in for our Silver Chiavari Chairs! We are using A Chair Affair. Ann is really accomodating and super nice to work with, Im really looking forward to our chairs!

Tomorrow I will book with Beaute Speciale. I think Ive got something like 7 hair, and 5 makeup appointments needed on the day of... I am making it optional for my girls since its a lot of money to spend on an already somewhat expensive wedding...although you'd be surprised at how much you can spend on an at home BFF's wedding...just sayin.

We have our Planning Session confirmed!! It will be Friday July 29, 2011 from 1-5pm. I will probably book our airfare and hotel next month, after said BFF's wedding. Im thinking we will stay at Port Orleans Riverside, or maybe Caribbean Beach. DF hasnt stayed there and I think he'd like it. Buuuut depending on the AP discount and the amount of time we go for, maybe we can stay at a Deluxe. We'll see...I doubt it will happen but you never know! I will also schedule my hair and makeup trial for while were there. I would love to take some E-pics while were there to display at the wedding and reception in addition to our at home E-pics, but I need to check out some people's prices...added to my to do list!

Next weekend is the Bachelorette Party Im throwing for my BFF. Ive booked a great hotel in San Antonio for the weekend, and were gonna bar hop and just enjoy ourselves. It should be a great time! Im excited, and so is she, her wedding is a little less than a month away..I cant imagine the frazzled wreck of a person I am going to be that close to my wedding! She's pretty calm (or seems to be right about now) and hasnt freaked out on anyone, that I know of. I need to write my MOH speech, Ive started one but keep getting emotional just writing it..I figure if I cant keep it together typing I wont be able to keep it together enough to say it. Nobody likes a total bawl-bag anyway, right? If anybody's got some ideas I'd love to hear them!!

Im pretty sure thats it for now...until I go on another tangent and think of 10 million more questions to pester my planner with ...I really feel bad. But honestly, I dont have another way of figuring it all out. Whats a girl to do? Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day with their sweeties tomorrow!

 

[KristiLyn]

I'm sure your planner is totally used to it! I'm sure she gets lots of questions from every bride!!
And I love that bracelet!! It looks great!!!

Have a good time next weekend!!

LOVE - your plans! You can really tell you have put so much of yourself into this wedding...and Mom! Everything Looks great!!) You will love the way all white looks even more on your wedding day I did it 12 years ago and everyone called me BORING, we were a June wedding. Do it the way you want it - it's a day for the two of YOU! Can't wait to read more posts.

YAY FOR BEING 9 MONTHS OUT!

I love your bracelet, it will go really great with your dress.

I understand what you mean about pestering your planner. I think of like 5 things a day that I want to ask but I usually hold off until I have at least 5 questions to ask just because I dont want to seem annoying.

Yeah, my questions have slowly tapered off. All the big ones are answered and you girls pretty much help me with everything else!! Ive been banking my questions too. Once I hit 5 I'll send an email or drop her a line. At least were not the only annoying ones!

I'm sure your planner is totally used to it! I'm sure she gets lots of questions from every bride!!

Have a good time next weekend!!

Thanks!

Hey Sarah, Which company are you using for your uplighting??? I talked to my planner today and they are charging me up the wahzooo right now for mine!

Hey! We are using Get Lit Orlando, they have great prices and a special this month. We are going with a 12 light package (650) and adding a customized gobo(100). And when you book by the end of Feb, he adds 4 add'l lights. (total 16 lights) So you'll have 4 lights per wall which is a good number for the size of our room (and yours too I think. We have 2 salons at the GF) Byron is who Ive been speaking to and he is so nice! I highly recommend them!! My planner did mention that there may be an additional charge for electrical stuff, but whatever it is Im sure the total is less than what Disney would charge! Let me know how it works out!

Sarah, I saw this and thought of you since you are using white for the color for your reception:

I wasn't sure if you were planning on using smaller votive candles but this would be a great inexpensive way to make them unique and beautiful!

Well the weekend went well. Everyone had a blast and we are all STILL recovering. A girls weekend was definitely way overdue! I will post pictures with more details but a quick recap: The hotel we stayed at was over 100 years old and definitely HAUNTED! We made the best of it and really enjoyed ourselves. I didnt realize how much I needed to get away until afterwards.

While I was out of town, my mom found our card holder. Its at Hobby Lobby and I think half off this week!--just in case somebody else needs one! We are going to spray paint it silver or white maybe with some glitter or something. What do you all think? Im in looove!
