That's awesome that you did a research cruise! I wish I would have thought about doing that. No more money in the budget for it now! Looking forward to following along with your PJ!
Love your research cruise it sounds like fun and how exciting that you get to see where you will get married and take time see where you want to take pictures can you believe time is moving already I want it to be like March so I only have a few more months to go! How did the rest our your tumbler cups turn out? and have you been working on anymore wedding favors yet its fun to follow along with someone at the same time!
Happy Planning

Hi Melissa!
I need six months of serious gym time before the big day, but wish I could just spend them on the Disney Dream.
I took a break from making tumblers for a while after the decal paper got stuck in the $30K copier at work. We will print the rest of the decals on DF's printer at his work, but I want to ask him to do this once (or twice) so I am waiting for the rest of the RSVP's. So far, we have 28 people booked and 56 we're still waiting to hear from. I have already run into a few problems with putting faces on the tumblers. First, I don't know what all of the guests look like. Second, the app I am using to make the faces doesn't capture the elderly very well--my Grandma looks like Lois Lane. I think I'll need an alternative plan for these guests, maybe their names and funny make believe definitions of their names.
For now, I'm debating whether or not to do a welcome reception. We will have late seating so I think it would be nice to offer drinks and hors d'oeuvres before moving into dinner the first night, which seems to be the most stressful time in many PJ's.
Hope all is well and I'll be dropping in on your PJ soon!

Hahaa I am in the same boat with the gym I just got a friend of mine to start going with me at 5:30 in the morning and we are taking these aerial silk classes (which are amazing for cores and arms) I want to be as skinny as possible lol
and I can't believe it jammed the printer I would have had a heart attack! and that stinks that the tumblers are turning into a more complicated project that's the worse but I would love a tumbler cup to make me look like Lois Lane lol and I like that idea of the funny names! and your waiting on 56 more people! you are probably going to have a huge party how fun!
Let me know what you decided about the welcome dinner I am debating over the same thing, originally I wanted to do a dessert party but they are like 3000-5000 and with paying for three cruises there was no way to stretch the budget anymore I was playing around with meeting up at one of the night clubs maybe because I also want to hand deliver the favors I have heard to many war stories of them be delivered to the wrong room or at the end of the cruise (which would be pointless ) but for now I will keep brainstorming ideas!
Oh and please let me know what you think I added a few new favors (lanyards) I love to know how my favors are looking to someone beside myself lol

Wow! Areal silk classes sound fun. We've been scuba diving and surfing as well as biking to work. It's the targeted weight training that I am not looking forward to .
Yeah, I freaked out about the copier. Luckily, I was able to remove the jam after about 30 minutes of troubleshooting. I still think the tumblers are a fun idea and I'm really looking forward to finishing them. I still also need to finish the mini life preservers. I'm sure we can knock all of it out in a weekend.
I'm waiting to hear how Kat's welcome party goes before I book one. I am also open to the idea of having everyone meet up at a bar before dinner the first night, but I want it to be in a kid-friendly location. With the exception of the lobby bar, I'm having a hard time recalling a place that's open at 7PM where one can purchase cocktails and also have children on the Disney Dream. If anyone knows of a good place, do tell.
For favor delivery, I coordinated with the Hyatt to utilize one of the big tables in the lobby to set up gift bags so the guests can grab them before boarding the bus to the port. We'll have enough stuff to schlepp onboard without 20+ gift bags.
Happy Planning!
Sorry I haven't been posting very much here. DF got an awesome job offer in San Francisco so I am scrambling to get ready for the move and find a job up there.
In the meantime, we are going around to all of our LA bucket list restaurants. We went to Gjelina in Venice and I took him across the street to Kamofie to show him where Lindsey Lohan stole that necklace. I took him in the store under the guise of wedding band shopping. Then the unthinkable happened: he fell in love with a $1,600 wedding ring! I was hoping to get away with buying him a tungsten band for a few hundred dollars and now I'm on the hook for this:
I know I want to wear my hair down, but my hair does not hold curl. Basically, as soon as I hit the beach, my hair frizzes out like I stuck my finger in an electrical outlet. Not wanting to spend a lot of money getting my hair done to have it fall in 30 minutes, I figured i would just go buy some.
I went to a hair store and asked for some wedding hair: my color in loose curls. It only came in Disney Princess length. My natural hair is about armpit length. Should I cut it? If so how much? I need y'all on this one.
