Final Round of Trials and Tastings!

We’re getting packed and ready to head out to Chicago this weekend for our final round of tastings, trials and fittings. How exciting!!

On our to-do list:

1. Cake tasting for wedding cake,
2. Main caterer for our reception menu tasting at The Blackstone,
3. Final meeting w/ Bleeding Heart Bakery for the groom’s cake – this thing is going to be superb (in appearances and taste),
4. Make-up Trial for Jen
5. Hair trials for Jen
6. Fittings for Jen and Charlotte
7. Family photos at the Chicago Botanical Gardens on Mother’s Day
8. Charlotte’s having her cut & styled
9. I hear rumors about having our eyebrows shaped (this sounds uncomfortable)
10. Get the marriage certificate (Jeff still really wants a ketubah – )
11. Lazy time with the family is squeezed in there somewhere…
12. Mother’s Day brunch with the moms in the family (Sharon, Jen and Alice) before the trip to the gardens
13. and last but not least, a bridal shower for Jen – giant thank you to Janet Peterson and Cathy Milam for hosting this!

All in 4 busy days – with Marissa’s planning help, it all fits in there with some scheduled down time to boot! 😀 So we’re getting ready for a wonderful long weekend with the family and finalizing a lot of little details. More information will be posted here next week as we get things figured out.

Last call for food allergies! If you have one or more, make sure you send an email our way so we can plan accordingly!

Make sure to send your acceptances and regrets for any invitations we send your way. 🙂 You’re important to us and we look forward to hearing from you.
