Checks! PIP

Yesterday my mom, FMIL, MOH and aunt went to the golf course where my shower is going to be on April 1st.  We figured out the menu, sundae bar, and linen colors.  I'm happy that it will be in the formal dining room overlooking the golf course instead of the downstairs banquet room.  I used to work there and the banquet room is not the nicest place so I'm happy about that.  We are also the first event of the year and found out they will set everything up for us ahead of time so the morning before we can see the room all set up and bring the centerpieces, ice cream, etc.  Plus, the waitresses will be the ones to scoop the ice cream for the sundae bar so my BM's won't have to do it.  Best of all, it's about $1500 for about 80 people which is really good here!

Then they all came back here and we put together my centerpieces.  We need some more flowers and stones so I will probably stop by Michael's today.  Here is the pic (will either be on royal blue or black napkins and the candles will be floating).  I just chose a sample of the 3 sized/shape glasses and the 3 colors. They will all be mixed. (Ignore the boxes in the background.)

  • Cute centerpieces!  I'm glad that's all falling into place for you - and the ice cream bar sounds like fun!

    We got my dad & brother measured for tuxes, and FI and I sat down and planned the menu at midnight.  We had so much fun!  We're going to our venue today for a planning meeting, and I can't wait!!!

  • We found ties for FI and GM.  This is a HUGE check because it's something that we've been having problems with for months.  The guys are wearing black suits so we were finding/buying the ties for them.

    Same with us.  We found them at Macy's and used a coupon so we got them all half off.  Which golf course are you getting married at?  I haven't been to any in Milford but I'm sure I've probably heard of it as my dad is an avid golfer.

    I also should mention....those are my centerpieces for the wedding, not the shower.  When I just reread that I realized it was probably misleading.

    Today, I talked to my mom and found out that my dad's family who has my cousin's shower the same day as mine (the one I've vented about multiple times) has decided to come to mine for an hour and a half then go to my cousin's for an hour and a half.  I'm happy they were able to compromise.  Obviously we won't be at each other's.  I'm in the process of ordering her shower gift right now.  I also got an email and have to reschedule my makeup because my MUA didn't realize she had a wedding on that day (St. Patty's day) so now I'm trying to reschedule my hair too to have it all done in the same day.  I hope I can manage to work it that way.

    Our ties are from Macy's too!  I'm getting married at Great River Golf Club in Milford.  Nobody in my family has played golf there but I have heard good things about the course.  The venue is beautiful!

  • Today I sent an email of the prayers and readings to my cousin (he is a Monsignor in New York). He will be one of the officiants at our wedding.

    We also worked out a template for our place cards. I really wish we didn't have to do a seating chart :( it's too much work.

  • I was able to print out about half of the wrap-around labels for our invitations.  I need to pick up more ink for my printer.

    FI and I discussed my wedding band and came to a pretty awesome solution.  Our jeweler was on vacation all last week though, so FI will give him a call soon and hopefully we'll get to stop in next weekend.

    My mom bought her dress for the wedding.

    FI and I put together our ceremony script and sent it off to the officiate.

    I sent pictures to the florist of some of the props for our centerpieces as well as my brooch bouquet.

    I've also been in contact with our bakery, trying to set-up a tasting for the end of March.
  • Those centerpieces are really cute!
  • Centerpieces are cute and I bet fun to make.

  • Thank you!  They were so easy to make and definitely cheaper than having flower centerpieces.
