I'm getting married there too and they are a pleasure to deal with! They really worked with me on the price, and threw in a lot of extras! Are you ladies going to their showcase on February 22?
Posted by deedoubleyouI'm exactly a year before you-- Thursday, May 21st! :)So exciting!!! I can't wait for the showcase on the 22. Are you doing a sit down or buffet dinner?... >>>
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... >>>

Isn't she the best? We literally chatted the whole time and even after I was done! She's great!

we ended up booking with Camelot. The woman was very accommodating and the limos were pretty nice. The price was one of the best around for what we were looking for.
I haven't looked at limos yet but I crossed Camelot off my list based on a previous brides review. I guess the cars had no AC in the middle of summer. here's the review... >>>

The sales girl at my limo place told me $50 a driver.
If you are going to tip 20% I would just split it evenly between the two drivers. Unless one is driving a lot more than the other for whatever reason. My opinion though, I plan on tipping each driver like $100... >>>

My mom just got her dress from dress gala today!! They were so nice and helpful. My mom didn't want to spend over $500 on her dress and they were very reasonably priced!

So excited to have my bridesmaid dresses in! I think I spent more time thinking about the colors for these dresses than picking out my own gown! So happy with how they look.
I'm curious what exactly they do that's beyond what the Maitre 'D and bridal attendants take care of.
We went to Bridal Reflections in Massapequa. They have a big selection grouped by color. You don't need an appointment so you can just browse through the dresses.
Congrats! Have a safe trip home!
