  2. Hi Andrea28,

    As far as I understand it, the package price is the price- no adjustments or substitutions!  So, get as many people to go as you can and just know that one photographer might get a shot that the other couldn't.  That's what we're hoping for ;)     As far as the booking goes, I believe they credit you toward any incidentals you may have, but you'll need to confirm that because I'm not for sure.

    I was wondering, when you book the Dreams wedding package and you have more then 5 rooms booked, do they subtract the price of the complimentary package from the price ??? And If I do not want the photographer in the dreams package since I have my own, do they subtract it from the price ??

     

    thanx ladies :P



     

  3. We decided not to do one either!  I'm still kind of torn because I know my grandma would love to be there, but she's too old to travel that far now.  But, my FI doesn't want to do one because he says we are having our reception at our wedding!  I agree...but maybe I can get some of the family together this summer for a cookout, but not call it a reception!


  4. I've honestly never heard of people just taking the centerpieces from a wedding.  I guess I would either put out little favors that say, "for you to take" or some neat poem and that may deter them from taking your centerpieces then!  You could also have someone clear the centerpieces after they've been enjoyed and before everyone gets drunk ;)

I have a feeling there will be alot of drunk ppl toward the end of the night and no matter where those items are they could come up missing. Thanks for the advice!



     

  5. I don't think there are really any rules when it comes to an AHR.  Everyone does what works for them, so I say do what you want!

  6. Great advice, what you did sounds awesome!  My FI doesn't want to do an AHR, he feels that we are having our reception at our DW, so we don't need to do it again.  I was torn, but now I'm just excited to get there :)

    Here's my thought on the AHR: if you want the experience of having a larger reception, by all means have at it.  The way I felt about mine, however, was that it was more for my parents.  I was perfectly content with my DW reception (as was my husband, but he's actually glad we did the AHR now).  In fact, I barely remember my AHR because there were so many people and I was busy running around trying to make sure I spoke with all of them.

     

    Everyone did rave about it though, so it's nice that so many people were happy.



     


  7. So, Friday I get a call from another commissioner who has 6 other weddings that day, but can squeeze us in at 7:45am!  Oh my gosh, how am I supposed to get my witnesses there, who have an hour and a half drive?!  But what choice do I have?  I'll take it!
