<\/a><\/div>\nI started calling\/ emailing around to hotels on the Strip about food<\/b>. Aside from the debacle with the cake bakeries, I think Albertson\u2019s is the way we\u2019re going to go. After getting prices for receptions and even restaurants, I\u2019m thinking cake and champagne reception in our room after the ceremony and pictures are done. The cheapest meal so far is the buffet at the Flamingo, but it\u2019s still $22++ per person and we just don\u2019t have $400 extra floating around.<\/p>\n
As far as our hotel room<\/b> goes, I\u2019d love to stay in a really snazzy hotel with gorgeous furniture in it, but those are way pricey. We\u2019re talking like $200 a night pricey. Our whole trip\/ wedding budget is $1500, most of which is being eating by hotel and airfare expenses. Just out of curiosity, I asked 2 of my friends with husband\u2019s working at hotels about discounts. As it turns out, they get friends and family discounts for the MGM family of hotels! Oh so amazing. I think bookings should be open in about a month. Trust me, I check religiously!<\/p>\n
Y\u2019all saw the invite design<\/b> I recently posted. I\u2019ve made the suggested changes and sent it to a printer for a quote. I also quoted the announcement cards, RSVP cards and, sure why not, graduation announcements. I love our printer. It\u2019s going to be under $100<\/b><\/i> for 20 invites, 10 RSVP, 100 announcements, and 200 grad announcements. <\/p>\n
Shoes<\/b>? Who doesn’t love shoes?? Oh, especially for wedding shoes. I love these shoes Gabriella Rocha: Ginger in turquoise leather:<\/p>\n and these Annie: Lola in blue satin. And no, not *just* for the name either!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
