There it is folks, your unofficial official date for all things fun/crazy/silly/wild in Vegas as they relate to the wedding. From what I understand, prices are more reasonable the weekend before a holiday weekend, and looking through some of the Vegas convention websites, it’s the only time in May that doesn’t currently have something booked that’s expecting over 10,000 people.
I do believe that I’m going to be doing the invites by hand, calligraphy-style, so if you would like to have actual proof that this is going down, please send me an email with the address that you’d like to have it go to. If there isn’t a link somewhere on this page, send it on over to me at cmsunshinego@gmail.com. You guys rock!
So, I’m hearing good things about Mandalay Bay…Vegas folk, what say you?
I suppose if I just keep lists, I’ll be able to keep track of everything that I need to do to prepare. (Sometimes these posts are more for me than you, so just bear with me, okay?)
Pick a date…harder than it sounds DONE! 5/22/10!
Whittle down the list of 30 possible hotel chapels to 5 to really pick from
Find the best place to get favors…thanks Leenda and VB for that idea
Budget? Yeah, I should probably use one of those
Emphasize to everyone that gifts are NOT NECESSARY!! If you can make it, that’s good enough for me.
Figure out a cool reception idea – I know it’s all about the party anyways!
Invites? Make them? Buy them? Send them at all? Makin’ em!
I’m sure that a bunch of you are/were along the lines of thinking of “that lunatic will never settle down/find someone who will be able to put up with her/get married”. Yeah, me too. Well, times they are a changing, my friends.
While we haven’t set an exact date yet, Jorge and I will indeed be getting married in 2010. Chances are great that it will be in March, April or May. So, my Club Med people, my BVA people, my people from all over, consider yourself warned.
I welcome all knowledge about Vegas weddings, who has the best deals, when is really a good time to have it, weather, accomodations, all kinds of everything!
Because I do nothing in the way of normal people, I’m hoping for togas for the wedding. I also may or may not do formal invitations. If I decide that I am going to do such a crazy thing and you’d like one (even if for a keepsake, lol), please provide me with your address and I’ll send it along. That being said, if I know you, you’re welcome to show up (but not you, DWK, or your clan). Depending on what sort of response I get, I’ll see if I can get a group rate on rooms or some such.
So, take a poll, and check back often and I’ll keep you up to date. Hope to see you in Vegas!
PS – If you’re going to take the poll, please let me know, especially if you’re saying yes! Comment below. Thanks!
