We will be having our wedding ceremony and reception at the City of Stanton Community Center. Located at 7800 Katella Ave, Stanton, CA 90680
There is ample parking to the left of the building, which is a parking structure.
Added the Target registry to the links over on the right. Not much of anything added except for the one major thing I know Kelly really wants (KitchenAid Artisian Mixer in red).
Other then that we still need to venture to Target and figure out what we would need.
I forgot to mention we go registered at Crate and Barrel. A link to our gift registry is located to the right.
So this weekend we got some more stuff off the plate! The location of the ceremony and reception have changed. We were going to have it at Tony and Peggy’s place, but after much thought and something that was on the backburner came back up we decided to change to the City of Stanton Community Center. It will make a lot of things easier. There is an ample amount of parking and the site includes the use of tables and chairs. My mom works hand in hand with the city of a lot of projects, as well as being on the Parks and Recs. Committee so we were able to get the location at a good price. Considering it would have cost around $400 for tables and chairs lets just say we aren’t spending much more now, even though we also will be required to pay for insurance and a security guard. This will make a lot of things easier in the long run, and will get rid of pressure on figuring out how everything was going to work at the house. We were extremely lucky to get this because the date we already had planned was the last Saturday they even had avaliable! Sounds to me like someone somewhere wanted us to have it here!
Next we have got our catering quote. Here is our current menu
It’s a great price and will be prepared right across the street from our location because my mom’s work (the Boys and Girls Club of Stanton) is right across the street.
So that’s the update for now. Expect to receive Invitations in April.
Just wanted to say hi to anyone that received our “Save This Date” notes. We will try to update the site atleast once a week.
So this weekend we got a bunch more stuff done! Yesterday we got the tuxedos set up and I place my payment down for part of them. We got our cake all set up (we are using French’s Bakery and a down payment on it as well. We also were able to purchase drinking and champange cups from Party City. We changed our color from Periwinkle to just plain ole poweder/baby/light blue, since it’s difficult to find any place setting stuff in periwinkle. Things are going good. We still need to get a quote on the tables, chairs, and linens though and today we should be getting the catering quote.
So, a wedding planning update! The date has been set! July 29th, 2006!
After visiting a couple different places that basically did everything for us Kelly and I came to the realization it just wasn’t going to be affordable for us to spend 8k plus so now we are doing the next best thing. Everything is going to be done at her parents house. They have a big back yard and there is enough space to get everything to work. Our “final” guest list, the one that we will be sending out save this date announcements to is 140. Kelly has already bought her dress. We talked to our DJ last night, he’s a friend of her brothers that’s known Kelly for years, he does it for a profession and has all the needed gear, plus the price is right. He offered to do it for free, but we insisting on paying him something so it’s going to be $100 for all day, he will be handling all the services and basically being our MC. We will of course be giving him a good tip on top of his charge. Also he’s related to someone at a local party rental place so we are going to be getting a better deal on our tables, chairs, and linens then we thought. Catering looks like it will be done by two women that are employees at my moms work, they do catering on the side and I know they do a great job. The price is going to be less then $10 a person and it will include serving the food. Inviations are still being looked into. We have yet to decide or even look into an officiant. Wedding cake searching will be done soon. Beer (3 kegs), punch, coffee, and maybe tea will be the main drinks, but we will also be getting Wilson Creek Champagne (which is really good) for our toast. On Friday I will stop by some tux shops and check on prices for tuxedos. We are going to need 7 tuxedos, mine, our fathers, my best man (who will be 
“Fresh” hopefully), and her three brothers. We won’t have bridesmaids. My uncle will be doing the photography. Flowers are going to be done by a friend of a friend, we’ve already met with them and it’s going to be about 120 bucks total. We are getting a bunch of great deals on just about everything. My mom and aunt will be working on decorations and lots of other things to make everything look nice. So that’s where we are so far.
