    Welcome party for wedding

    So with the huge price tag of the Wedding Pavilion and then the reception at the Grand Floridian, we knew a Disney catered Welcome Party would be out of the question money-wise for us. We also wanted to do a fireworks dessert party, but when we found out the cost plus how if the fireworks are...

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    This is amazing advice, and exactly what we ended up doing! We had so much fun, we didn't even think of who wasn't there. We ended up putting the kids together and it was beautiful. I just think with all the stress a couple of days before the wedding plus the insane expense of everything it...

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    I think it's the fact that he never even bought a plane ticket. I think that's what made it seem like he wasn't really ever serious about showing up.

    Comfort level of heels during wedding/ MK portrait sessions?

    I am telling you right now, I wore flats the entire day and my feet were still killing me after the reception!!! Please remember, you are literally going to be on your feet almost the entire day (unless you don't dance) with the exception of the five minutes you take to try to shovel some food...

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    Thank you so much for your kind advice! Honestly, I never would have thought getting a refund for the suit would be possible since they've already been ordered, but I called and we're able to cancel the order and just forfeit the $25 deposit for his suit! So thank you for that! I paid for the...

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    Thank you, he will probably have to have that phone call on monday. lol I wish I could not worry and just be happy- sadly I'm terrible at that! I'm a control freak but I have it in my head that as soon as I check into my resort at Disney I get to relax and enjoy, right now I'm still in...

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    Thanks MickyLynn! I wish my fiancee was better at herding cats :hyper: . He usually just asks me "what do I tell him?" He has aspergers so social stuff is really hard for him to navigate and he tends to utilize me to help him. But this is beyond me!

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    True, I wouldn't honestly tell my fiancee whom he can and can't be friends with. It's just frustrating because between the suit rental, the plate, the hotel room, and the bachelor party spot, it's a lot of money and we already lent him money years ago which he hasn't paid back, not to mention...

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    I would have actually preferred it if he'd mentioned he might have to back out weeks ahead of time, that way we'd just have said, "hey, plan to come as a guest. That way, if you can't make it, no big deal." Instead he led us to believe everything was right as rain with him being a groomsman...

    Groomsman threatening to drop out 4 days before wedding... advice???

    I'm in need of support and advice from my fellow disers right now... We get married on Wednesday at The Wedding Pavilion. We've already had six people drop out (luckily before the food deadline.) . But today, my fiancee texted his groomsmen to find out what time their planes land. Apparently...

    Drop Out Guests

    We have had a couple of guests who had things come up at work and can no longer come to our wishes wedding (the wedding is 18 days away). My understanding is that I will get the money I already paid toward their food and beverage back, as I am able to change my guest count up until five days...

    $230 under enhancement minimum- how would you spend it?

    That is a cute idea! We have a few kids coming, but I decided to do some table runners and other decorations so I already blew that money lol. It's so easy to do! The reason I came in under budget is because we decided to go outside of Disney for our photographer (WAYYY CHEAPER, and you know...

    Wedding planner communication problems?

    I don't want to say her name and blast her but it started with a D. She was very nice but just not at all communicative. I think the problem is that, as opposed to an ordinary wedding planner you'd be working with in person, you plan with Disney almost completely from afar, with the exception...

    Wedding planner communication problems?

    I second what Lurkyloo said, as she is the one who told me what to do lol! The lady I spoke to about it could not have been nicer.

    Wedding planner communication problems?

    So happy to hear this! I think the majority of the planners are really great, so it doesn't surprise me! Actually I read a few good reviews for my previous planner, the one that I switched. She was super nice, no complaints there, but the communication thing was a huge issue for us. Maybe...

    Wedding planner communication problems?

    An update: With encouragement from Lurkyloo (THANK YOU AGAIN!) we have switched our wedding planner. The difference between the new planner and the other one is like night and day, so I'm so happy I went with my gut on this! The new planner (her name is Carol) gets back to me either the same...
