Ohhh congratulations!!!! It was so cute how you guys did it too
If you have people travelling from out of state sunday may not be the best best day as they will have to arrange travel to be back at work for the monday. For some reason it is easier for people to get a Friday off then a Monday. As well, if you are having an evening reception (instead of a luncheon), the late night might make it more difficult for people to get to work the next day.Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
I'm leaning towards a Sunday instead of a Saturday though because it's usually less expensive.
I was thinking that too- I guess it all depends on your wedding party & your guests- I'd think of whatever works best for them too, since most likely they woul dhave to take a day off if they plan on partying hardOriginally Posted by adymarie

100 people isn't a small wedding - it is a pretty good size. Mine was about 125!
Awww Thanks!!! I'm working on my knot.com page right now (it's really helping me keep everything organized!) and trying to figure out some more details/etc today. I think next week i'll plan on looking around for a dress and get started on my centerpieces/etc. This is all really fun, but also totally stressful! (it's not the planning that bothers me, it's making sure i do everything with a reasonable budget/etc.)Originally Posted by Tari
I can't believe I haven't seen this before.
CONGRATULATIONS, NIKKI!!!!
I know you'll have lots of fun planning your wedding...I know I did. (I think that doing event planning for work really alleviated alot of the usual wedding-planning stress for me...I'm sure that being a wedding planner will work out the same for you.) Sounds like you've got lots done already.
I love the donation idea for favors. We gave a St. Jude donation for favors, too, and just had a little box of candy on the tables with a note about the donation. People really liked it.
oh absolutely!!!Originally Posted by Pat & Alix
Please understand my previous comment about my not so hot experience was not a comment on the work that St. Jude does, rather whoever is running their fund raising!
my old church is massive- it has several thousand memebers....so since i was only planning on inviting 100 or so people- it would have just looked silly having that small a crowd in such a huge space, so i was wanting a smaller venue. This little chapel is just perfect!!!Originally Posted by Jenny82
We got married in a chapel too because our church is huge. We had about 130 people which was perfect for the chapel.
I'm sure theknot.com will be VERY helpful! I used weddingchannel.com and it definitely kept me very organized!
