Hi Guys!!
So we were thinking of doing our own food for the wedding. By that I mean we wanted to buy large quantities of items like potato salad, salad, and that kind of thing and then have a friend of ours cook hamburgers and chicken on the grills that are provided at the reception site.
I think we have come up with a better solution. We are looking at Chivettas Chicken
you should check it out! I haven't had anything from them, but Eric has and said he loves it. We are going to go there and sample everything, but if you are familiar with it, let me know what you think. The price is very reasonable, its $10 a person including rolls, chef salad, half a chicken, potato salad and beans. We can change the potato salad and beans to what ever else they offer. It seems like a great deal. This will be much better, then we don't have to worry about getting all the items together and having someone cook on a charcoal grill, that they aren't familiar with!!
Also, the date for the Bridal Shower has been set. May 17th, 2008. That is very exciting. I'll have more details when it gets closer.
It is hard to plan for this wedding and set budgets especially when today there is so many options. Then once I think ok, we can spend this amount, I remember that in a few short months, CHRISTMAS, is going to be here, and, my 23rd Birthday!! Which really isn't that exciting anymore.
I am very excited for Christmas this year. Not for presents and for even buying presents, just because I will be at home. This was the first year since my parents moved to North carolina, that I didn't stay with them for a month or more during the summer. So I can't wait to be there with my family. Eric will be coming with too, so that makes it even better.
Ok let me know what you think for the catering place or if you have any other suggestions. This weekend I am going to David's Bridal and hopefully finding a bridesmaid dress for the girls..
Have a fantabulous Day!!
