Toni & Bobby's Shabby Chic wedding PJ & TR (SBP/Attic/UK) 2/2/09 *COMPLETE*

[DisneyBrideToni]

That sounds like a Meg route - from Maine to New Jersey with stops in both Texas and Florida (where I have family no less! lol!). I'm so happy for you that you've gotten your basket! What a trip though!!

PS - Today's your 3 month mark - Congrats! It's so close now!!

I know I am happy it finally got here. I also won that other basket but I think I will use it in my closet/dressing room Bobby made for me. Maybe I can throw make up in it or something. It was only 4.00!

Yay!! I'm so glad your basket finally arrived!!

I can't believe its only 3 months away now!! You must be getting SO excited! It will be here before you know it!!

OMG 3 months!!!!! The nerves are starting already! I can't believe how fast this went.

I'm glad you finally got your basket!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad you got your basket!

ETA: Three months today

Are you getting nervous too!?

Hey Toni! I'm so happy to hear you got your basket! I agree you can never have to many baskets. And it gives you options! I purchased something on ebay paid for it on 10/23 got a tracking number said it arrived in IL on 10/26 and still haven't received it.... so maybe it just needs time!

I hope you got what you bid on!!! I don't know why some sellers are so fast and others are so slow. Its crazy.

yeah for finally getting the basket!

OMG 3 months!!!!! The nerves are starting already! I can't believe how fast this went.

Are you getting nervous too!?

Yes! So much more to do, so little time to do it in! I can't imagine having a non-Disney wedding! Then there would be even MORE to finish!

 

[keenercam]

Yay!! You know I LOVED that first basket!! Oh, and I have so many baskets in my dressing room, and it helps me keep everything organized, from lotions and potions, to extra makeup, to beauty implements, to extra buttons that come with blouses, etc.

BTW, I get more than a little freaked out every time you say how close your wedding is because mine is before yours!!

WOW! That is a lot. I tried to get into Le Cellier but that wasn't happening. I am bummed. I have never been there. I might try while we are there to see if there are any openings. I am dying to try their Maple Creme Brulee and Cheese soup. I am super excited to have dinner with Christina and Geancarlo though!

I just booked our rental car from Alamo. I got the Annual Pass discount which was about $30.00. We rented the Grand Prix "or similar". I am going to pre-pay and check in online too so we can just go and not wait in line.

Hmmm...what else have I done??? Thats about it for now. Like I said, I made my reservations for my tea party which will be held after our rehearsal. I bought favors. I will share them with you all later! Very cute stuff.

 

[anewmac]

ok call me a foodie.. I cant wait for your report to talk about the food from these places ... oh ya the wedding too LOL

Keep calling and checking for Le Cellier... their maybe a cancelation.. very rare with that one.. BUT ya never know what kind of pixi dust may rain on ya!

 

[disneygal922]

Toni your ADRs sound great! I'm glad you got your tea party booked!

 

[ClemsonGirl]

The schedule sounds great Toni!! How exciting!! I'm looking forward to the food reports as well!!

 

[keenercam]

Toni -- Your ADRs sound great! Yes, you definitely have to try to walk up to LeCellier. We were able to walk-in one night at 8:30 after the dinner rush. So, don't give up!
What time is your MKPS? Will you be staying in the park after that for breakfast at CP? Or do you have to leave and come back? Also, how did you get the AP rate for alamo? We haven't activated our APs yet. Is there a way to check what the rates would be for our rental if we had our APs?

 

[irisbud]

Toni, your ADRs sound great! It looks like you have a good mix of time with your guests/families and alone time! I forget, are you staying at WLV the whole time? If you are, alost of your ressies are convenient to it!

 

[bridetobe789]

Congrats on getting your schedule all worked out! Is le cellier really that hard to get in advance? I didn't know that but I also have never been there either!

I can't wait! The food will be great. I will make sure I take lots of food pics! I will definitely keep trying to call. I would love to eat there.

The tea party will be so much fun. It will be nice to get together with all the woman coming to the wedding!

I will definitely give it a try. My MKPS is at 5am. I will just have to go back to get changed and maybe rest for a tiny bit before heading back out.

For Alamo, I found a code on Magicalkingdoms.com when you make your reservation, there is a section that asks for an ID code. You type in ID 860292, then when where it asks for your membership number you type in the letters/numbers on the back of the annual pass voucher. You don't have to have them activated yet. Plus, you can make the reservation, and you don't have to pay yet. You can make it and if you decide to cancel you can cancel it at any time.

Thanks! I will be at the WLV the whole time so it is nice an convenient.

It does seem is pretty hard to get into there. I have never been so I really wanted to get in but I am going to keep calling in case there are cancellations. I was surprised, I tried about 12 dates but all of them were booked.

Toni,

Congratulations on all of your yummy reservations!! Too bad about Le Cellier-Jake and I ate there 2 years ago when we went. I guess we lucked out with the reservation. Keep trying though, the food is excellent!! We are doing so much better then before. Thanks for thinking of me... I really am planning to update my PJ very soon!!

Thanks! I can't wait to eat!!!

I am going to keep trying for Le Cellier. Even if its just for lunch. I will keep trying up until I leave and then again when we are there. Hopefully the concierge can hook us up.

Get moving with that PJ!!!!

Bridal Shower Invites Are Out!​

So this weekend my FMIL and I addressed all 82 shower invitations. Crazy! I told her I could just print the envelopes on the computer but she wanted to address them. SOOOOOOOO that is what we did.

FMIL is trying to get more addresses that we didn't have. I am pretty tired and bored at this point.

So I think I previously shared the invitation but just in case, here it is again.

We also made these inserts to include.

This one is for the wishing well. I am sure most people have these. My family does them ALL the time and usually put gadgets and things in it. My MOH is making it. I had to cut out SOOO many of these things!

We are also asking for guests to bring their favorite receipe so we included an index card and this little poem.

It was a ton of work but I am glad its done. The shower is January 10th. Can't wait. It should be a nice time!

My FMIL is paying for the whole thing. We booked a local country club, which I know I previously showed pictures. The centerpieces we picked out are really cool, they are flowers and kitchen utensils. Hard to describe but they really are cool. I will be sure to share pics.

Thats all for now! In about two weeks the wedding invites go out and there is no turning back!!!

 

[IndyBride]

Looks like you got a lot of work done!!!! Whenever I am addressing a lot of envelopes the first bit look great and the last ones are awful!!!

 

[anewmac]

CUTE ideas for the invites. Ive never heard of that before.. Great idea! Cant wait to see the centerpieces!

 

[jennifaerie]

Wow! I've never heard of a wishing well-- that sounds really cool. I also love the idea of sharing recipes! You're more inclined to make a recipe if it's recommended by someone you know. Very cool!

 

[HurriKahneRachael]

Cute invitations... I tried to post my wedding cake in another forum and I don't have enough posts :0(

I'll have to comment 4 more times on yours!!!!
