Sight Visit

We went and met with the venue today, for a finalization of a lot of the details. I got the lay out of the room, finalized the menu, finalized the rehearsal dinner, picked out the linens, checked on the tent, we did everything!

The only thing that took me by surprise was the linens. I thought we would get chocolate brown but they didn't have it as an option anymore! So we ordered Rust, which is quickly becoming our third color. The guys ties are rust, rust is the accent color in the bouquets, so it makes sense to add rust in the napkins! Here is a sneak preview:

Rehearsal Dinner

Turns into second reception (technically first reception)! We decided to have a BBQ as our rehearsal dinner on Friday evening. I really wanted to use the tent and have it be casual and at the resort. But our caterer pointed out that many of our guests might be around and having a BBQ in front of them without inviting them would be weird and kind of rude. So we decided to extend the invite to all of the guests coming in Friday night (thinking that it wouldn't be more than half!) well it turns out almost ALL of our guests will be there Friday night and they are all coming! This is amazing but also crazy. I'm excited because secretly (ok not so secretly) all I really wanted was a BBQ wedding reception outside under a tent to begin with! So now its on, we get to have two receptions, one practice and one real. One for me and one for him. It will be super.
