I got one of those family tree things from things remembered and plan on putting loved ones that passed and a candle on the fire place.. they said it was no problem... BUT i just so you know its not a very large (deep) mantel since its a fakey ...so you might want to check how big your frames are... If I had to Guess???? the mantle is only about 5-6 inches deep.

I feel a little better that I'm not the only one:

still need:
shoes
veil/headpiece
fittings (oh yeah - my dress isn't even in yet!)
favors
must play list
FH and I are still undecided about our first dance song
finalize hair person
Need everyone to be measured for tuxes
BMs dresses still aren't in
pick out my flowers
pick readings for church
FH and I still haven't done our FOCCUS test
meet with church musician for music (I think it's the nature of the beast - they're impossible to get in touch with)
marriage license
FH still needs to pick up his wedding band
find a cake topper
seating charts
oh yeah - paying everyone
arrange shuttle buses
BP gifts
pay for HM and pick up tickets

I am completely freaked out! I feel like every time I get something checked off my list - something else goes on it!

Same here! you just added to my list lol Forgot marriage license, church readings, bm fittings, finalize favors (doing donations and small chocolates) we did precana and didnt have to do foccus thankfully or that would be on there too. It will all come together... just waiting for it to happen lol

Re: Thatched cottage thread

Im sure everthing will come together for you guys I cannt wait to see picture from both your weddings
my 3 month meeting is in November and I cannt wait!!!! :

Re: Thatched cottage thread

Omg, you guys are getting close!! I am jealous, I feel like my day will NEVER come!! lol. Just wondering, are you guys or did any past brides add the seafood bar?? Just wondering if I should add it since there is so much meat in the CH. Anyone else doing this or thinking about it?

Oh yea, when I spoke to Andre he said I could add a hospitality hour so I could have my family come and take pics there before hand, so it wouldnt interfere with the CH. Anyone else do this?

Re: Thatched cottage thread

Im not ... thought about it but there is just SO much food to begin with and the charge was SO much I thought no one would miss it. I did however request a lot of the seafood passed horderves and on the crepe station picked the seafood one.

Just a word about your 3 month meeting - take notes and be prepared. I really thought I would remember everything we picked out. I can't remember half of the food we opted for. FH and I look at each other every once and a while and go 'duh'

Also, really start looking at cakes you like. I wasn't prepared for that at all and was thrilled with anything in their book. Now I'm looking at stuff and thinking I may want to call them and change my cake. Not the flavors - just the look.

Re: Thatched cottage thread

For the hospitality hour, I believe he told me it was about 2-3 per person. They would have some coffee and cakes I think he said for them and It would be in the room across from the main room.
