Hypothetical party-themed poll question... - Page 6

Disneyphile · 06-13-2006, 10:33 AM

If you want an idea as to what we've spent, here's the summary:

Just at about $6,000 includes:

140 guests
Saturday evening
choice of a few different ceremony sites
5 hours of site rental, plus 3-1/2 hours of prep/tear-down time
Lemon terragon chicken buffet dinner with sides and unlimited tea, soda, and coffee
Huge wedding night cabin
1 keg of Newcastle
2 cases of wine
cash bar (anything different than the beer and wine we're supplying, the guests will be on their own)
champagne/cider toast
cake cutting fee
all linens and furniture
set-up and clean-up (does not include decor)

It's actually pretty cheap for that many people on a Saturday night with limited booze and a full dinner.

I've PMed LSPE and I know I should say this publicly as well before it explodes in my face -

My comments were directed at Euro (and iSm on the side for approving so much of Euro's post) because I couldn't help but feel offended at the inferences.

As I said in that post any and all types of wedding parties are awesome, because they are whatever people want them to be, and that's wonderful. They're all special, whatever you spend on whatever and however many are invited.

I never meant to insult LSPE and the rest of you guys. Seems I can't go too long before making an ass of myself in public.

I love you guys and I obviously really do wish all of you could have been at our wedding, including Euro and iSm. I was being sarcastic. Why can't I ever pull off sarcasm?? Perhaps my husband should post things for me.

Disneyphile is really making her dollar stretch! Awesome job.

I really wish I could have seen Coaster Matt's wedding. Any online pics?

As for weeknight vs weekend I'd check with the few key people you absolutely want to be there and see when they can make it. Then just pick the date and go with it. No matter what date you pick, weekend or weeknight there will be people who can't attend for whatever reason. And people will make time in their schedules because they want to be a part of your happy day.

Aw, no hurt feelings here, people! Only love. And misunderstanding. And re-understanding. And further love.

Less-swanky weekend reception, because I'd more likely be able to go.

The odds of Crystal and I attending go waaaaaaay up on the weekend. That said, LSPE dear, listen to your heart (and your pocketbook). If we can make it, cool. If not, we'll totally be there in spirit.
