extended that are ootg, only b/c we have 2 other weddings in '08 too..

Jan in Vegas
Labor Day (suffolk)

They're complaining abput how their vacay time is used for weddings & not really vacay

---

Hmmm not a big dilemna. Not to worry!!

If you really have a skip something, skip the Friday night bowling. That way you can get an early night rest before the weddding.

and how about switching the brunch and softball game for before the rehersal??

It's a tough one. I mean itf it's like 3-4 out of townever complaing, then go along with your orignal plans. But if it's like 10 or more, then you might want to reconsider.

So We're having a 'wedding weekend'.

our orignal time line:

Thursday - rehersal
thursday -Rehersal dinner

Friday -

Private Brunch (11-1pm)
Soft ball game - (3pm-5pm)
Welcome bowling party (7-11pm)


Sat.

Wedding 5:30- 11:30
After -Party - 11:30 - ????


Sunday-

Day after brunch

Do you think I've planned to much? I'm thinkig of cutting thursday all together, what are your thoughts?

---

I think Thursday, Sdaturday, and Sunday are more than enough.

My only recm'd is for Friday, and I would do either the softball game or the bowling, but not both. I would give the guests a chance to view the grounds and use the pool and see some sites.

Plus, you may want that extra time to yourself to deflate the day before the wedding. Go spoil yourself with some spa services. God forbid something happens during one of those activities.

good point thanks,

that sounds like a fun wedding weekend. def not planning to much. I plan on doing every party I can for my wedding it's your wedding and no one will complain. I wanna do a welcome bowling party lol.

be careful with the after party thing, we might do that but we're worried no one will wake up for the brunch the following day!

Michele,

i think that your weekend is going to be amazing, i dont think you will be tired cause you are going to have so much adrenaline going through you and that is going to keep you going, it sounds like an amazing wedding weekend and everyone is going to remember it for a long time!

sounds fun... we are actually planning something similar.

thursday:
my family vs. fh family - sand volleyball game
or bowling
rehearsal dinner

friday:
wedding

saturday:
brunch
surprise birthday party for three of my flowergirls

I hope so, I'm hearing some complaints about Thursday night & friday -day events

---

i think thurs. is just fine. and perhaps some ppl are feeling like the friday is like a day that is being 'planned' for them, and that's why they might complain.

i think you might want to cut out a little on friday--so some OOT guests can relax or do their own thing. not to mention, i'm surprised you'd be able to have a planned out day like that...the day before the wedding you might have last minute stuff to tend to! i think you should keep friday daytime open to take care of anything last minute. (you can still keep the bowling on fri. nite!)

---

Thanks, I 've been debating about cutting and making some changes and this and the advice from ChrissnRicky . Really helped

The guest will probably prefer to take friday to travel and explore the mansion on their own once they arrive, thanks

Wow I can't believe how organized you are!!! I would never be able to pull all of that off. It sounds like it would be tons of fun.

Don't let anyone upset you. The people that are the most important will MAKE the time to be there for you and won't complain.

Anyone else can go to HE double hockey sticks!!!!
