So ladies, I have literally called all over. Either places are not booking yet or we are too small of a party for some places.
So here are our options:
1) Go with Fox Hollow, you have to pay in full now. With tax and gratutity its $52 pp. You all know the deal at this place
2) MAINE MAID INN - Same menu as Fox Hollow, $3 cheaper, I know I can get her down probably another $3. It is located in Jericho, so still pretty central. The deposit is only $250. The minimum would be 60, max is 115. You would need to put down $10.
3) Wait till early next year.
Really think about this girls and please remember these points: - There are no refunds, if you cancel then you need to find a girl to replace your spot. I cannot be taking and giving money left and right. Its not fair to me nor to you. - Down the road, I might ask each girl to contribute an extra $10 for tipping, decorations, games, etc. Put that in your budget. - Plus we need to purchase a registry gift for a bride to be.
PLEASE take the poll and let me know.
JMO - I think Maine Maid Inn is a better option for us. We all only have to give $10. Its an adorable place.

I think that if desperation sets in and we NEED people then we should open it up to mom and bm's, however *I* think we wanna keep this as intimate between the brides of 2010, it's gonna be like GTG except longer and with gifts. If we bring girlfriends then there will be 50 sets of couples just talking amongst themselves pretty much.

Alesia is right, we need to guarantee 60 people, but we don't need to guarantee them when Christine books, we just need to make sure we can come up with 60 people about 4 weeks before the shower... should be easy.
I'd be uncomfortable bringing my MOH because she's totally not into this internet thing... and it would be weird for her to socialize with people she doesn't know at all. I could bring a guest if we needed to, but I'm with Alesia I'd rather it be all LIW. Don't forget we'll want to invite Ron, Liz and Kim too.

Not sure if you misunderstood - To clarify, when I get the final pricing and date, I will open it up to the girls. We need $250 for the deposit. We are going to have so many more girls on over the next year, we will have no problem making 60 people. Right now we have 30 girls. If by the time of the bridal shower rolls around, and we don't have 60 thats when we open it up to moms, moh, bm, etc.

how much would we need to bring at the day of the bridal shower????? is this place offering the same as Fox Hollow in terms of food?? if not we should book the fox hollow....if its 30 of us and the deposit is 1000 then we will pay $33.33 not bad at all if it will be better there

This sounds like fun to me. Anything to keep the wedding fun going is fine with me! Sign me up. Into the $10 deposit. God forbid anything happened, losing $10 would hurt less than $50. So I'm putting in my official vote and look forward to this. Thanks Christine for doing this!
