Thanks! My family thinks it's going to look funny to have mint ties and pink flowers, but I thought they looked really good together. Do y'all think it's weird to have mismatched boutonnieres and ties?

Every time I take a picture of our flowers they look darker than they are to multi-quote, click the button next to quote that has "+ on it. Have you made a decision on your silk flowers?

I think I'm going to get a silk bouquet for myself and DF's boutonniere.

Thanks for the quote tip! That was so much easier!

Your cake was gorgeous! I'm leaning toward number 3 more now that I know they can replicate the design so well. Do you remember what it cost if you don't mind sharing?

I just caught up with your PJ. Love the BM's dresses. They are so pretty. I don't think it will be weird to mix mint and pink ties and bouts. I think it will look really nice, actually.

Thanks! I thought it would look good too, I think they just have a more traditional taste than I do...

Can anyone tell me if a dessert party the night before our wedding would count toward our disney minimum? Sorry if that's a stupid question haha

Hi there!
Just joining in here, I love your pics and ideas so far! I don't think the dessert party would count toward the minimum, if it was booked separately, BUT I don't know, just my assumption. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts!

Thanks! Glad to have you I'm going to follow along on your PJ, too, since our weddings are only a week apart!

I had my dessert party the night before the wedding and it DID NOT count towards any minimums. However, we loved it and DFTW planned it for us and our planner was the one who we communicated with and all that jazz.

Bummer. I really want to have one. I just want to wait until a little closer to plan for one to make sure we have the extra money!

I was considering one too but I'm trying to stay on a strict budget. I wish that it would count if you booked through DFTW regardless of the when it was.

I know :/

I'm trying to stick to my $10,000 minimum pretty closely. I think it would be so much fun though! I think we will if we have some extra money!

Just for reference, ours the night before came to $1,852.96 and $541.23 of that was alcoholic drinks (BOC bar that the DH insisted on) plus another $106.50 for a bartender. You can cut back on some of the food and save some money. We also got lucky and only had to pay 2 viewing fees which helped. So without the alcohol, it would have been $1,200. We also paid for this ourselves, the DH family never offered to help us out with a rehersal dinner or to do anything at all per customs.

Thanks for that! Yeah, we definitely won't have alcohol there, so the cost won't be so bad. DF just won't agree to it just yet since we're paying for the WHOLE wedding ourselves lol

Hopefully, he'll change his mind

Thank you! I'm glad you like the colors -- my fam has me second guessing them sometimes, but I really like them

I got Save the Dates and Pre RSVPs made! They are soooo cute!

Victoria Ann from Something Printable on Etsy made them. I'll post pictures when I get home tonight

I also bought custom stamps from Zazzle to match the STDs.

Does anyone know where I can get or how to do calligraphy on my envelopes at a reasonable price? Most of the ones on etsy are like $2 a piece, and I just can't justify that for Save the Dates lol
