I'm getting a quote from the Lemp Mansion on a dinner there. That would be way cool, but I'm trying to figure out if I can get them to either give us a price break, or give us extras since we won't have an open bar. (4 hours of open bar is included in their package quote). So we'll see what they come back with. In other news, I got the contract last night for the Church. The time isn't pre-set for us, just any time before 2PM. I'm going to sit tight for a week or so, and leave open the possibility of doing an afternoon reception. So far of the available places, Dad found 2 that were available in the afternoon, and then the Lemp is open in the evening. So if things don't work out with the Lemp, I'd rather do an earlier wedding so we can have the whole afternoon for the reception. If they do work out with Lemp, I'd rather have a little bit later wedding so I'll have time to get gussied up. I've gotten feedback from all of the major players on the guest list. We've got a grand total of 262 on the list, but I'd honestly be surprised if we got 150. In part that's because I've added "& Guest" to any unmarried person's name, and in part because roughly half are from out of town. I'm planning for 175, we'll see what we get!
Hope all is well!
