changing up the menu

I figured out a theme of "our favorit things" and am thinking of changing the menu to have a Pan- Asian Inspired Garden Party.
The food would be Thai and Vietnamese like these noodle soups and pad thai and salad rolls..... and of course some other veggie and chicken dishes.

Ideas

Here are some little design things I found that I like:

  • I think this is a cool idea, I might make some of these for the ceremony to go on the chairs.

  • I also like these wire card holders for the tables.

  • These thank you postcards are cute!

  • I'm defintely doing these programs with the soft fabric on the outside.

Travel arrangements



So Kelli is flying in on Wed., have any of you thought about when you want to fly in?
I am working on the room reservations for thurs. night if any of you flyin that night.
Fri night we will all stay in Tillamook at Whitney's house
Sat. night you all will stay there without me :)
Then Sun. night hotel room. (I think I can get a family/friend discount at the Hilton which would make it extra cheap) so no worries for now.


My suggestion is that you all fly in on thurs. evening or friday morning and fly out sunday or monday.
We are leaving for Mexico sunday so whoever books their flight for sunday can leave with us from the airport that day.
