I'd be really annoyed about someone bringing someone if I didn't imply that they could bring a guest. They should never just assume that they can.

Thank you!!!

Exactly!

Okay so we received our first batch of crystals...They are great quality, but the only problem is 15,000 crystals only ='s 6 cups of crystals!!!! Well we need 7.5 for just the 30 heart votives, then we need about 500 per table. So... we need to order more. i thought my 22,200 crystals were alot!

My wedding dress hanger actually has a Mickey head outline and Minnie head outline and the line underneath Just says Mrs. Hart. A lot of them limit it to like 11 characters of so with capital letters counting as 2... just just keep an eye out for that.

Oh no!!! about your college roommate!!

Your candles are so gorgeous!! And your hanger sounds awesome, thanks for the tip on ordering mine, I didn't know that

[CityGirlLost]

Everything sounds and looks gorgeous. I can't wait to see pictures of how it all comes together!

Okay this weekend I worked on putting our guest bags together. We are still needing a couple of snacks. Thinking some kind of chips, maybe a Mickey Rice Crispie, and something else. We also need to get a few more things for the 4 kids bags that we have. In the bag is our folder with 55 pages of info, park maps, photopass cards, times guide recreated for the wedding, Im celebrating/first visit buttons and door hangers, 2 bottles of water, and the bare neccessitites bag (which I had hopes of adding more to it, but they got expensive quick!) with kleenex packs, a lint roller, advil, chap stick, sunscreen, and a hand sanitizer from bath and body works. I didnt add things that the hotel would have in the rooms, or that people could ask for if they forgot. I wanted to add ponchos, but at $.98 from walmart, I would need like 30 of them and that was another $30 I didnt wanna spend on these. Sorry the pictures arent that great... the sun was shining in that window.

Wow those bags look awesome. Can I come crash your wedding?!

Everything looks as though it is coming together so nicely!! Can you believe it is all in 40+ days?! Yay!!

I forgot if I posted this before (sorry if I did), but the best wedding advice I got from friends (which I followed) was a few days before the wedding, have a "leave me alone" day. Book a massage, turn off the cell phone, and just relax!

So... today is my first fitting with my dress! Ahhhhhh Im very nervous! I also have todecide onmy bustle for the dress. Im thinking a double french bustle to stay with the theme of the pickups in the dress.

And we are picking up our wedding bands today!!!!!!!!!!

[2012DisneyWorldBride]

Yay! We got our wedding bands!!!!! Here is a picture of them togehter and with my engagement ring... Sorry for my dry hands ugh so gross



And we also went and I got my first fitting done!!! My alterations cost was only $100 total! Since my shoes are so high (5.5 inches) I dont need to hem the dress, and the only alterations I needed was the bustle. I decided on a french bustle (sorry no pictures - I forgot!). Funny thing, we drove an hour to my dress place and the alterations lady lives like 3 minutes from us. We actually really hit it off with her and she also does alterations from her house which we will now use her to get anthing else done that we ever need.

I had been having bad dreams about getting the alterations done and them spilling coffee on my dress and then another dream about them eating cheetos and getting orange fingerprints all over it, so of course I had to tell the alterations lady lol

She reassured me that they can not eat in the alterations deptartment and that she washes her hands lol

I was also looking for a shawl for the dessert party since its in December and at night. My mom had some pashminas in white (which ended up being off white by my dress, silver, and black. I really wanted it in white so I was going to order one on Ebay for like $10, but when we went the dress place today I asked them if they had anything that would match my dress. They had the perfect shawl for my dress, it is white satin just like my dress, and the detailing actually matches my dress perfectly! And they sold me the one they had there for $50! Im so happy with it!!!

LOVING the welcome bags! I'm sure your guests will really appreciate all the effort you've put in how are you getting them to your guests? (Sorry if you've answered that already and I've missed it). How awesome that you lucked out on finding that shawl it sounds perfect! Also, I absolutely love both your rings I think yours and Jeff's rings go really well together and of course your wedding band goes perfectly with your engagement ring

Well I heard that if you have a tag on the bags that has the guests name and reservation/confirmation number that the specific hotel that the guest is staying at will have a Disney employee deliver them to their room. I hope thats still the case, cause we are planning to deliver them to the resorts the day before the wedding when we get there in the morning and I really dont wanna deliver them to our guests and spend all that time talking to everyone...that sounds bad but we will have lots to do and I dont wanna waste that time.

Thank you for the comments on our rings... I cant wait to wear them together!!!

I dotn really have much of an update, but yesterday we went to walmart AGAIN for more plastic bins to hold wedding stuff in. Because we are allowed to give Disney 3 for the stuff they are setting for us, but because I have enlisted my mom and godmother to set the stuff Disney will charge us to set I needed bins for that stuff too. I didnt want all my stuff to get smushed so they are all in boxes and bubble wrap inside of the bins. And because we are doing Mickey Ears as favors and I didnt want them to get crushed before then, we have a bin for those too! I have a total of 7 bins that we have to drive there. Is that too many? I mean one bin is all our wedding stuff cause I didnt wanna pack it and forget something so its all togther, like my wedding jewelery, shoes, Jeff's cuff links, gater, and that kinda stuff. I looked at the bins last night with Jeff and then thought how is this all going to fit in my SUV with our luggage and our welcome bags (I chose to put them together now because I want to deliver before we check in and didnt know where we would then put them together). Oh geez this is starting to get funny.

How many bins did you all have or have now?
