Meetings and the knot

We have a meeting in a few weeks with the Pastor who is marrying us and we still have to make plans to meet with our Catering Manager. I've also been reading that I have to meet with a florist but I'm not sure how that's all working just yet.

We'll see about all that. I feel like I'm at a bit of a stand-still with wedding plans right now. I think that I can't get a good idea for decor or plans unless I know the schedule, table layout, church decorations, and all that goes with that. I think my next focus is going to be getting bridesmaid dresses. I have an idea of what I want... it's just finding them.

I have been researching one particular site that has been a help: http://www.theknot.com From that site, I can build a budget, they have a checklist which has been helpful because it mentions some things that I didn't think of, they have a guest list manager which I haven't tried yet but once we get our list a little more concrete, I'll try it out.

Well, it's bed time for me now. Feel free to comment :)

Initial Wedding Guest Count

So... pre-pruning (if necessary)... My guest list count is 266! Our limit for the reception hall is 220 and that's technically past the "comfortable maximum." I think that that's pretty good considering that I'm 99% sure that at least 50 of the people I'd like to invite will not be able to make it. I honestly thought I was going to be over by much more.

Now comes the task of "pruning" a bit and renumbering because of babies and other small children that will be in high chairs or that might not come.

Wish us luck!
