I think I am going to have to make a point of posting more often, at least for the time being. Lots happening lately and it’s hard to keep it all straight, lol!
A quick follow up on my last post, here is approximately what all the men (and my stepson) will be wearing for the occasion:
Also, we are sadly back to square one with regard to the MOH dresses. The style we all love is being discontinued, and they do not take custom orders. L I know we have time to get it sorted out, but I’m still bummed. Found this out over the weekend, so I still have to let the girls know about it as well.
Originally we were not planning on having a DJ, but for a variety of reasons, we have decided that we would like to have one. I know that Disney does not reach out to the DJs until much further along in the process, so I went ahead and reached out directly, and the DJ we(I) wanted was available for our date and time. He penciled us in, I emailed my planner to let her know, and now everything is set, so that is one thing ticked off the list, yay!
A couple weeks ago we finally decided on a Save the Date design, personalized it, and then sent it off to the printer. We ordered the large magnet style and they arrived today.
I am pleased with how they came out, and we didn’t pay too much, which was fantastic!
Now it is time to type up & print the address labels, get everything put together and mailed out by the end of this week.
We were having a devil of a time finding a wedding website template that we liked, but having something custom built just was not in the budget, and I was becoming quite discouraged because I really wanted to have a website for all the details, pictures, etc. Found a template on SquareSpace.com that we like the bones of and were able to customize to our liking. I have been working feverishly on getting content written, pictures uploaded, formatting adjusted, etc, so that there will be plenty of info for our guests to check out once they receive their STDs. It isn’t finished yet, but it’s looking pretty decent. The Husband checked out yesterday (and a couple of DisBrides from the FB group checked it out and provided helpful feedback a couple days ago) and says he likes it. Whew!
We also sat down a couple weekends ago and went through cocktail hour and reception menus and the cake tasting flavors, and are pretty much decided on what we want the menu to be and what we want to taste at our PS in June. Yay for one less thing to worry about!
I had my phone call with Jamie a couple weeks ago and I love her already! She understands the look/feel/direction we want to go for, so I’m totally relieved about that. She and her assistant, Courtney, have been fantastic about replying to my emails already, yay!
To end things on an exciting note, Thursday evening, my friend will be accompanying me back to the bridal salon so that I can order my dress!! I’m so giddy, I can’t wait to put it back on again.
P.S. Is it too early to start talking about hair and makeup inspirations?
