More concrete plans.... and some questions..

Well since no one commented on the last post, Jill and I went ahead and made some more concrete plans:

Dinner at City Bistro in Hoboken Saturday July 12th at 5:30pm.
http://www.citybistrohoboken.com/

Then our first stop will be the Flatiron Lounge at 9:30 (I am reserving a table).
http://www.flatironlounge.com/

We will decide where to go from there. Jill has already made it quite clear that she is more interested in having a nice chill/fun night out and not some crazy, shot-infested, all-nighter. Ahhhh the differences between her and I ;op

We debated about springing for a hotel - but decided instead that staying at Jill's apt will be more cost efficient (as long as no one minds futons/sleeping bags/etc).

OK now onto some important things: (FOR BRIDAL PARTY MEMBERS)

Jill needs to know:
-who is coming on saturday (day before wedding) for manicures/pedicures?
-who wants Donna (Jill's hair dresser) to do their hair for the wedding ?

PLEASE comment guys ... only a few months left!

It's been a while..

WOW it really has been a while since we've all last blogged, and with the Bachelorette Party coming up soon (and a lot of the plans not yet set) I think now would be a good time to get bloggin' again.

We still need to find a restaurant in Hoboken for dinner (sooner rather than later so I can get our reservation in!) The internet only goes so far with trying to find places - keeping cost and such in mind ... any ideas!?!?

I am going to invite/add the other members of the bachelorette party onto the blog so we can keep all our ideas and thoughts in one spot. Plus, i would still like to have SOME surprises for Jill, as she knows the date/location for the most part.

One of these is going to be - that I am requesting everyone wear black, and I am going to find some hott pink dress/outfit for her to wear. The "Bachelorette- bride to be" stuff I got for her is black/pink leopard print... I got her a veil, and a sash so far. I don't think I am going to go any crazier; Jill really isn't that kind of bride ;op

Jill and I have some tentative bars: (comments are from Jill - she sent me these...)

- http://www.flutebar.com/gramercy.htm

(I love wine bars, and this looks really lovely...)

- http://divinebar.ypguides.net/

(Reminds me of our Euro trip!)

- www.flatironlounge.com

(SO up my alley...the only concern is $$...I might try and find their prices to see if its do-able...looks like a ton of fun)

- www.whiterabbitnyc.com

(Work colleague with fantastic taste suggested here...the website is certainly interesting)

- http://newyork.bubblelounge.com/

(Also suggested by the work colleague...looks amazing, yet prb really pricey...)

- http://www.vintagenewyork.com/winebar.html

(This looks fantastic and reasonable....we could definitely start out here and then maybe go to Cibar or Manahatta...)

ANYWAY - let me know what you guys think!!!!

Happy Spring!

Hey ladies - just wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful time at the shower - both celebrating with Jill and getting to spend some time with you all a little more~! I'm so excited for the wedding and I'd love for us to be able to get together before then. Keep me updated for the bachelorette party - let me know if any other dates besides July 12th work for everyone else.

Happy Spring!

Fittings and Invitation Details - Straight from the Horse's Mouth

Okay, I am not calling Jill a horse ... but I spoke with her today and this is what she has decided for all of us to get fitted and if we can help with invitations:

(and this is a direct quote...) "ok...we can propose what date you, kris, and I are going to get yours and then say that they need to pick up their dresses before the end of May and its up to them whether they want to do their alterations/fitting with Pat or with whoever and if people want to come play the first and/or second weekend at mom and dad's for invitation stuff they are more than welcome. If they can all let us know when they are planning on picking-up dresses and such that would be much appreciated.(again, preferably before the end of May)

and you can also share that I will be doing invitations the first and second weekends of May, so please let me know if you are interested in and available for either dates"

So to recap, if you want to come the date Kris, Me and Jill are going to get fitted, great, if not, do it yourself either through Pat or whoever - but let Jill know when you are going to get your dress, and PLEASE do this before the end of May.

Also, any help with invitation making will be the first two weekends in May - so come and help and play if you want!

Let me know if you guys need any help/clarification on this stuff...

99 Red Balloons Go By

Ok so a few of you sent me checks with notes saying you would be more than happy to help - well HERE'S YOUR CHANCE! We need someone to get the balloons for the shower. My mom and I would GREATLY appreciate if someone could pick up two bunches of 5 balloons (purple and green of course) with some Helium ones as well that say CONGRATS or HAPPY SHOWER or whatever.

please let me know who can order these/ then pick them up and bring them to the shower!!!

THANKS GUYS!
see you all so soon!!!

Fittings and Invitations

Hey Everyone,

Jill was wondering what everyone's availability would be for the first weekend in May to possibly get fitted with our dresses and help make the invitations.

This is also Mother's day ... so completely understandable if people already have plans to be out of town.

Comment on your possible availability! Thanks!

moneymoneymoney ... MONEY

hey all, please send me your checks! Amy is the only one who I do not have to yell at ;op I got her check yesterday.

ALSO - kind of a big newsflash, the mirror that Jill originally wanted, naturally, is no longer available - they have discontinued it. Stupid freakin' Pottery Barn. So I am going back to the store again today to find a similar mirror/color/size and Jill will just have to deal. I spoke with my mom, and she thought it was better to just keep it a surprise, and do the best we can ...

let me know if you have any objections to this!
