Summer's Planning Journal 08/20 Update 08/10/07

[Summer-Caitlin]

So I've decided on this Pirate outfit for bothe the Pirate and Princess Party, the Pirate Party on our cruise and for my bacholerette night! I have ordered it today so it should be here this week.

I'm looking forward to it. I will not be wearing fishnets and I'm undecided what shoes to wear, something comfortable but also pirate ish! Anyone have any ideas?

Now I need some ideas for some surprises for my mom. I was going to order a cake to be in her room on our first night, but I think this is a bit silly as we will be getting married a few days later so will have loads of cake. So I am thinking the tuxedoed strawberries at Coral Reef, I am making her a gift basket that she can take with her which will have some nice items for the wedding and her holiday. Does anyone know of anything else I can organise for her?

Summer - your pirate outfit is fab - you are going to look gorgeous in it.

You could order a gift from Candy Blast http://www.candyblast.com/ if your Mom likes sweets/chocolate. There are some nice American ones that we don't get over here for your Mum to try.

What about organising a Spa treatment for her while you are at the GF? There are some nice relaxing bubble bath thing treatments I think.

There is also http://www.memoriesbybetsy.com and http://www.disneyflorist.com/

Thanks so much girls for the confidence boost about the outfit. I started to wonder if I could pull it off, I mean it ain't gonna look like that on me at least it's my color!

I just got off the phone with Alicia at Coral Reef and I have ordered the chocolate tuxedo strawberries (12) for my mom with the words 'Thankyou for everything you've done' I'm so excited

Now should I order a cake, hmm, I'm debating it

 

[D&R love Disney]

WOW now thats what I call a pirate costume. I better not show DH, he'll want me to get one LOL. What night are you going to the P&P party? We are going the 18th.

 

[Summer-Caitlin]

Thank you for the compliment I actually received it today. I am at work just now so i will have to try it on when I get home. I hope it looks as good as it does in the pic

I love the pirate outfit. Do you mind telling me where you are getting it from? My husband's Cousins came around yesterday and wanted to know if I will go trick or treating with them, and his auntie is a big fan of Pirates of the Carribean. It would be great to dress up like pirates.

I know it is a bit soon for halloween but I have to be prepared!

I got mine from Ebay, but you can get it from www.dunbarcostumes.co.uk. I was going to get it from there but I got it cheaper on Ebay. The company that makes the costumes are Leg Avenue.

Wow thanks Summer. Keep going with the planning journal. I am sure it is helping a lot of brides.

If you want a U.S. that has lots of costumes like this (including this exact one), there's: http://www.3wishes.com/pirate.asp

They have free shipping and a pretty reasonable return policy.

 

[Summer-Caitlin]

Well I have just purchased my mom's pirate costume and also Steven's pirate shirt

Here is my mom's costume:

and Steven's Costume:

He is not having an eye patch though!

My mom and I will both have these!

So that is everything bought now for The Pirate and Princess Party. Steven and I can wear our outfits on the cruise for Pirate night aswell!

I have booked in my wedding dress for it's final alterations on August 7th at 2pm so I will be asking for the afternoon off work I did wonder whether this is being left a little too late as my deadline is August 14th, but the seamstress assured me it would be done My dress still hasn't arrived yet, but will hopefully arrive next week. It will be much bigger as I have lost 16 pounds since I ordered it, plus she ordered a bigger skirt as she knew I wanted maximum skirt Anyway hopefully I'll hear from her next week.

I also got confirmation from my TA, in writing that we have a Garden View room booked at GF, at least that's it definately sorted.

I also received a call from the jeweller saying my wedding ring has now arrived, I will have to go and pick it up next week and make sure it fits.

 

[jasonandlisa]

Love the costumes!! You guys will all look so great together. So much fun! I hope the alterations all go well for you. Congratulations on losing so much weight!
