Get Social With Long Island Weddings
We're doing Hawaii! We also looked into Belize...definitely recommend checking out Belize!
I got my Jim Hjelm dresses for $187 at bridal reflections. However, I got a discount for getting my dress there and for ordering during a trunk show.
Congrats and welcome! If you need recommendations on vendors just let us know!
Congrats on the check!
We went to Costa Rica this summer. We stayed at the Riu Palace. It was an amazing vacation. We saw & did so much! It's definitely somewhere I'd recommend
Favors, bridesmaid's gifts, welcome bags, escort cards, table numbers, bride's jewelry, programs, rehearsal dinner...?
Good Evening,just left a meeting with foxlight studios.. they were so sweet and easy relatable!! I think we are going to book with them.. my question is.. has anyone booked their video? did you meet with their... >>>

I've had best luck with a back loading printer and open envelopes on this one. I never printed on a laser. Try asking a print shop for quotes. If you're providing the envelopes and art, it shouldn't be too... >>>

Posted by rcotter90SO LUCKY!!! Congrats on the check, I am green with envy ;) All thanks to you! :)
My venue gives them to us blank then we have to write in the names. I don't particularly care for them (they're like off-white with green writing) so I think the easiest thing for us will be to just buy the... >>>

I just officially booked AJ Ingoglia as my videographer. I am so excited! I cannot wait to have him shoot my wedding. I officially have all my major vendors book! :)
Congratulations and happy planning.
Minted.com printed the addresses for us.
My venue does them but... since we are having a cocktail reception, we are not doing assigned seating. You can order them with invitations if you want but it's really a preference if you want them handwritten... >>>
We used Minted and will also be using them for our invitations!
We went to Costa Rica in 2013 - it was an amazing trip. Did not top Alaska but for the adventurous side of us, it was perfect! So much to do and see. We are thinking of doing a 3-week honeymoon to Australia,... >>>
Thanks everyone :) It's a relief to know they are not required! I LOVE making my to pay for list SHORTER!
Ahhh...both are nice! I'd go to Australia if I ever had the chance! Unfortunately my FI doesn't like to fly so for our honeymoon we'll be going to the Caribbean.

Bellucci knows AJ, and I got quotes from both of them. WE ended up going with Joseph Minasi, he was willing to work with us on price, where AJ, because of his rep, was not. Bellucci was a close third, I just... >>>
+1 for Baranttini and Neil from New York Nights. My best advice is to make appointments with the ones you feel a pull toward. You'll know when you meet them if they are what you're looking for.
LOVE IT!

Are All Inlcuisve Wedding Packages The Way To Go?

Good Morning Brides-To-Be!Have you guys booked your honeymoon? I am a January Bride, so the places I can visit are limited (as a lot of places are in winter, as we are!)But I am debating between Australia and... >>>
I used Vistaprint, used a Groupon and the quality was great!
We used simply to impress and loved the way they came out. At the time they had 40% off and free shipping.. Not sure what they have going on right now.
Magnet street has 40% off + an extra $10 off, that's the best deal I've ever seen from them until 2/2
I used magnetstreet.com I don't know if they currently have a sale but they frequently do. I got my magnets for 30% off on there.
so pretty!!
Ladies PLEASE pay attention to these boxes/cages--i've seen on the news people (guests/random ppl) picking up the whole box in the middle of the reception and walking out with it! SCARY!im not a huge fan,... >>>
I used wedding paper divas and they came out great! :) The editors are great with communicating with you to make sure you're getting exactly what you want.

So pretty!
I just got an email for weddingpaperdivas; 30% off savethedates :)

Definitely not necessary, we wont be having them either.
I am thinking of making save the dates! What sites do you recommend using??

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and the bride said that I can borrow certain things from her wedding when the wedding is over. I may snag her card box (I believe it's a wood chest).
Great suggestions!!! Thank you girls so much!!
They definitely aren't necessary. We are in the same boat (only a MOH and BMan, FH's parents and my Dad). I don't feel it necessary to spend extra money on something like that, especially with a small wedding... >>>
I used Kim Castro from Bedford and Mane in Bellmore! She is amazing, and super reasonably priced for hair. And she has amazing makeup prices! I used Sandra Baldini for makeup and she was amazing!!! (I was... >>>

We're going to have them but they're not necessary
It was a want for us and we did a playful one (especially since husband's nephew was our ring bearer)
I met someone via this site who did my envelopes (digital Caligraphy) was so affordable and so easy to work with.
Posted by kjohnston9/4/2016-Watermill-kjohnston-KaraThanks!Another date twin :)
They're a want. No one will notice if you don't have them. Use that money towards something else :)
I don't think they're a must-have. Nobody will notice they're not there.
Posted by LibrarianJoyce724I used my printer to print directly on them. Didn't have a problem at all and they came out really nice! What type of printer did you use? Was it a laser one? Trying to figure out... >>>
Try Ciro's in Hauppauge.. right off the LIE.. not sure on pricing, but I went to a bridal shower there and the food was delish and they have a private room.

Not sure if it's the right location but Sergio's in Massapequa is like $27pp for a courses meal and wine/beer!
Jillian Kristine for hair and Liz Froio for makeup.
They're very pretty!

Her prices are online. http://www.firemonkeyhairdesign.com/services.html
Mine too! We have the same date!
Oh yea. I can't wait for my samples to come in.
I used clear labels.
Beautiful! It looks like it fits great!
Gorgeous!
Very pretty
Can anyone share their quotes for hair and makeup? I'm just beginning to look and don't even know where to start or normal price ranges. Thanks in advance
Beautiful! Love the hydrangeas!
I've seen them at Michaels and Joann's. Even Target. I'd try looking online since it's off season, and hopefully you can find a good deal for them now.
Would any of you lovely ladies be able to share quotes from dusti? Thanks in advance :)

How are you guys addressing your STD's? Are you guys hand-writing your envelopes or are you using clear labels for each guest?
i printed right onto labels and put them on the envelopes- they get thrown out anyway
I registered at Macy's- It was the best decision I made. The one in manhasset is very organized, and I got a HUGE gift card at the end, because you get 5% of every purchase put onto a gift card. I also just... >>>

We booked with Tommys Tunes... We will have MC Frank. Talked with Tommy for a good hour not just about the djing very personable!
Thank you!! Would you mind emailing me quotes??
I loved Dusti. Went for my hair trial last weekend - booked her on the spot. Check out Angela's hair design too - girls rave about her!
The FH and I registered at Bed Bath & Beyond and Amazon.com for things we could get at the other.
I've seen them in AC moore, joann fabrics, michaels etc around Halloween. Or you can buy a carvable pumpkin and spray paint? My concern is whether or not those fake pumpkins will hold water and not seep... >>>
So exciting!
We are not doing programs!
oh that is a great suggestion! I'll see if my FH wants to do that. Thanks!

So Pretty!!!
Went to see my high centerpiece mockup today. I love it so much! Ronnie with Bella Flowers in Huntington did such an amazing job! I can't keep looking at them!
I used Jessica Leigh Paperie. I dropped off my envelopes and she did they. But IMO it was pricey for just envelopes!
I didn't do wedding yet, but for our save the dates I used LCIpaper.com. They were fantastic! Envelopes were printed on perfectly, they called me with questions and suggestions. I recommended, I may use them... >>>
Thanks ladies! I have a list of all the Yankee stores on the island and the city and I'm going to call them tomorrow on my lunch break. Fingers crossed!
Yay! Congratulations!
P.S. this is the cutest most unique gift idea!
There's a Yankee store in the smithaven mall now.. maybe try calling there too?
Did you try the Yankees store in the city? Or Steiner Sports at Roosevelt Field?
You look very pretty! Thats my dress too, i cant wait for it to come in!!!
So my wedding day gift to my future hubby is an authentic NY Yankees Paul O'Neill Away Jersey. I ordered a custom made patch saying "with all my love, your bride 4-18-15" from etsy and I plan to sew it on the... >>>
Thank you, ladies!
Same here, we won't be doing any of the dances (my father passed away last year and FH mother is out of the picture) I dont think anyone will notice, you do what feels right for you.
I don't remember the pricing off hand but I'm pretty sure it's on their website for Palmers American Grill in Farmingdale. I've been to two parties there and both were great, and one was a rehersal dinner.
i am using Boschelli too and have had the same experience! We love Cecilia and she has been amazing to work with. We love our engagement pictures. She got teasers to us before we were even home! I can't wait... >>>
