Yesterday FH & I did the final venue walk thru and paid the venue. It was awesome, I was a bit nervous that FH was going to miss it, his work day can go longer on a spur of the moment (he is a driver, so it can be hard to plan for). But he got out early & actually beat me to the appointment.
The DOC (came with the venue) provided us 2x glasses of wine, so we are able to cheers & discuss the wedding details in full. She also mentioned that she would recommend dropping off some big plastic containers the day before when we drop everything off, so that way if we have any extra cup cakes or no shows, the venue can pack up the food & we wouldn't waste it. We are so doing this!
Also, the hotel contacted the venue (we picked the hotel because it was a preferred hotel of the venue, and dog friendly). Turns out that we maxed out our hotel block for the weekend (which I'm surprised, as it's not a DW and we only have a handful of people traveling from over 2 hours away, but we are doing a after party at the hotel & it looks like a lot of people wanted to make a weekend out of it). Anyway because we maxed out the hotel, and we booked via our venue - the DOC asked her director to contact the hotel on our behalf to get something comped - and they selected the shuttle service (it was a $300 fee so it's awesome & super surprising that it's comped).
Tomorrow I pickup my wedding dress - EEK & FH picks up his ring.
15 more days - how is everyone else doing with their planning?
