i wish i could. I'm heading out of town tomorrow after work. I love this kind of stuff...

That sucks. We are experiencing the opposite issue. 2 people have backed out and we can't change our headcount with the caterers, therefore we are down $274 b/c they changed their mind at three weeks before the wedding. UGH!!! plus all of the money i spent on the OOT gift bags. WTF!!!! people are RUDE!!!!!!!!!

i love her dress too. my girlfriend had the same one, it's a Monique Lhuillier Scarlet dress. I'm a monique fan also. mine is the Claire style. She makes the most amazing gowns...love, love and yes Kash looked fab in it.

also, there are tons of shows in chicago. so if you are interested in that sort of thing. I'd recommend Second City and any off broadway shows. I've been to a ton so if something interests you, ask and i'll give my 2 cents.

1) Allyu (pronounced Ah-yoo) Spa Allyu Spa - Chicago Day Spa - Massage, Acupuncture, Facials and more
they have GREAT treatments and even better prices. you can do side by side massages here! (plus its across the street from my house!)
2) Spa Space Chicago spa: Spa Space Downtown Chicago - a great spa, but kind of expensive.
3) Bliss Spa in the W Hotel on Lakeshore Drive. Really nice, but kind of way overpriced if you ask me, and way more boutique-y than Allyu.
For dinner, what kind of cuisine are you feeling? I have lots of ideas for that depending on what kind of food you want.
Also, I would recommend a boat tour. This is a good one that has a couple options and it boards on the river off of Michigan Ave near Wacker. Wendella Sightseeing Boats, Chicago original since 1935, Schedules and information
also for dinner, DeLaCosta is a nice restaurant near Navy Pier within walking distance. I've been there a number of times and enjoyed myself.
DeLaCosta
465 E. Illinois St.

so true, especailly #3...i hate acting like his mother.

i love CB2 there's one not to far from our loft. go there for some crazy pieces to furnish our place. Great ideas on the decorating.

we did the same thing. I hated saying to my guests, "you have to pay $X to stay at this hotel and if they searched the same resort on their own they'd pay less then $X." I didn't feel right about it so, they had to fend for themselves and everyone coped just fine. Most are staying with us and others are not but at least I didn't have to feel stink about it.

yes, i'm freaking out too. I leave on the 10th so even though we have 1 month until the big day, I have only 24 more days until we leave. meaning I have to get the rest of the stuff done now. And my bro just had a baby so we are heading out of town this weekend to see them...meaning, none of the things on my list will get done. Oh well...eventually, they will.

Nordstroms has some really nice stuff also. I got a couple of nice and comfortable camis and babydolls.

i'm waiting to send out the wedding thank you notes until after the wedding. I'm just keeping track of wedding gifts verse shower gifts. And sending out the shower gifts thanks ASAP. with regards to thank you notes to those that attend the wedding, I am if they give a gift or not...that's just me though. I know you have up to one year to send a thank you note out...but i think if you wait too long it's a bit rude...

Altoid and palm sized hinged tins
or these...just do a search on metal tin and there are lots of options

I have it as follows:
- Prelude
- Seating of the parents
- Processional
- Bridal Processional
- Greeting
- Readings
- Exchange of Vows
- Exchange of Rings
- Rose Presentation
- Sand Ceremony
- Signing of the marriage certificate
- Blessing of the Marriage
- Pronouncement of Marriage
- Recessional
But if you are having a Protestant ceremony-just check with your minister, they'll have a ceremony.
-
do you want an actual ceremony or just a layout for your programs?
