Hello Everyone,
So yes, I am newly engaged and of course I have been planning this wedding in my head since birth...lol.... But seriously although I thought I would have everything down packed I think I may need some more realistic opinions. My head is literally spinning with ideas, so Please HELP!!!!!!!
Ok I will tell you guys what I am thinking of and then we can go from there:
Ideally I would love a weekend type wedding with festivities and parties to entertain all my guests. Well NYE is a Wed. next year so the festivities will start from Monday night and ends Thursday Morning (after the hangovers of course). I would like to have it in the Pocono mountain; I am in search of venues that has overnight accommodations and has discount skiing or tubing tickets. I have cut down my list t0 200 people and I am almost positive I will have more. My colors will be Turquoise (bridesmaids), Black (ALL GUEST), Silver/Light Gray (Groomsmen).
The itinerary will go as follows: Monday night guest arrive and settle in and we will host a meet and greet party in the night. Tuesday will be a scheduled activity, weather it being skiing, tubing, snow boarding or snow mobile riding. Tuesday night will be the rehearsal followed by a winter BBQ (I know it may seem weird but I have talked to a venue that can do it). Wednesday during the day will be a restful day because we will be partying the night away.
I would love to follow this schedule for the actual day:
Ceremony: 9pm-10pm
Cocktail: 10pm-10:50pm
Reception: 11pm-12:30am
After Party: 12:30am-3am
ok my fellow brides I need your help. If you can suggest venues that would be great and also any additional ideas you may have will also be helpful as well. I can be a bit extra sometimes so please bring me back down to earth (Nicely .....). I appreciate all your advise and opinions.
