Original post by Olgaki

Thread views: 198,420

I'm getting married in Sept 2004 - but my FMIL is going down to Greece on Sunday - is there anything I should DEFINETLY have her bring back from Greece for the wedding??? I don't know when the next relative will be going down. Any ideas?

Irene: I agree, even though I didn't know him, I feel horrible about it. It's so sad My co worker is going to go his wake sometime this week. He said one day was just for family and the other day isn't.

Hey girls - did you/are you planning to have an engagement party? How big and where did you have it? How many people?

Re: Greek Brides??

Haven't had an e-party yet. I'm open to ideas. Looking to do one in LI with 80-100. Trying to keep it simple, like a nice early sunday dinner, or champagne brunch. Any suggestions. Nassau Co?

OHH I also forgot to ask - compared to your wedding how many did you invite to your engagement?

Re: Greek Brides??

We had a very small e-aparty in July... it was only my family and a couple close family friends, my in-laws and FH's uncle and aunt, and our koubari. We had it at my house (my dad used to be a chef and caterer, so it was awesome!). I think it was around twenty people. We weren't even planning to have one (FH and I are pretty low-key), but then my parents bought FH an e-gift and his parents bought me one and we figured we'd have an 'official' engagement. I am glad we had one... I wish I had a scanner to post pics... i'll try to do it at FH's house this weekend.

FMIL wanted to throw a bar-b-q party for us out on the island at the end of this month... not sure if it's going to happen because of FH's new job and my 'almost' new job. (waiting to hear back from them).

We also plan to throw a party for our close friends either right before the wedding or after (the people we would want in our wedding party if we had one).

Re: Greek Brides??

Olgaki, I forgot to answer your question... we are inviting 225 people.

Re: Greek Brides??

wow 225??

For Greek standards we are having a very small wedding. We are having about 100 people total. It's all my family - FI family is in Greece so for honeymoon we'll be going there and having another 'reception' if you will with all his family. Even the people at the Sand Castle were like, 'Hey where is the big Greek weddings that we usual have?' :EMO 8:

For engagement we want to do something small - parents and my two closest thias and cousins - and have a priest and dinner. Nothing big.

Re: Greek Brides??

FH and I are probably not having an engagement party. Mostly for saving money purposes and other touchy family issues - For our wedding though our max is 200 - We have to guarantee 150 - I really dont want to go much higher than that though.

Girls: Does anyone have the contact info for Milos Entertainment? The other band (it will go unamed) is really starting to pi$$ me off So I want to look around before we decide whether to book them or not.
Thanks

718-767-2263- savvas called me about three weeks ago. he said he was going to be gone (to greece) for 3.5 weeks. Maybe he's back, but if he does not answer, you know the reason why.

Re: Greek Brides??

I feel bad. apparently i had asked him to hold the date so he left a message for me whether I want the date or not... and i still have not called back. I don;t know what to say I feel so bad rejecting people
Marcela1654 Thread views: 198,420

Re: Greek Brides??

I know, I'm the same way If you feel bad telling them you booked someone else. Just tell them to not hold your date, b/c you've discussed it with your family and are now unsure whether you will even have a band play at your wedding.

Re: Greek Brides??

when you call them, tell them i gave you their number, then i won't feel as bad...

unless of course you reject them too... then i'll feel even worse!

you're right, i should call them and let them know. maybe tomorrow, before they get back from greece! that way there is not interaction.

Re: Greek Brides??

Ok I'll tell them. Will they know who you are if I just say Debbie?
Also, would you mind FMing me their quote? Where did you go see them play?

Good idea, call tmr and leave a msg.
