Tux Info

For those of you out there that read this and have males involved in our wedding, here is some information regarding the tuxes. I called them to clarify some of my questions, as I kept asking Nate these things and he had no idea... Here's what I know...and what I sent Nate to email to all the guys:

Measurements for the tuxes need to be in by no later than Friday, August 1. You can have your measurements taken at any formalwear store convenient for you and call them into Savvi Formalwear at 636.532.1800. When the measurements are phoned in, you will have to pay a $30 partial payment to reserve your tux. If you'd rather, you have the option of paying in full at that time. Total cost for tux and shoes will be $126. If you choose to only pay the $30 partial payment, you will have to phone Savvi again no later than Friday, September 26 to pay your remaining balance.

We are planning on picking up all the tuxes ourselves, so that the guys don't have to worry about traveling with them.

Is there anything I'm forgetting? Ladies with guys in the wedding...questions?

St. Louis Bridal Show

A friend from work--Kara--who is also a bride-to-be, accompanied me to the St. Louis Bridal Show on Sunday. The St. Louis show was on a much larger scale than the one I attended in Jefferson City at the end of July. My main focus for the day was gathering information on photographers. Most photographers travel these days, so it's not out of the question to get a photographer from St. Louis for the wedding in Loose Creek. And I have to say, it was between the photographers and DJ's for greatest amount of booths at the show! I also gathered information on some DJ's for Nate; however, I think it would be more feasible to get a DJ from around the Jeff City or Columbia area for the reception. I'm still wading through the oodles of photography information I received...

The highlight of the afternoon was my experience at the Savvi Formalwear booth. They had a square glass phone booth setup and inside the booth was lots of money. A motor was flipped on and all the money flew around inside the phone booth--and the job for the bride was to catch as much money as possible in 20 seconds. However much money you caught would be the discount your groomsman receive off of their tuxes. I snagged $190, so if Nate chooses Savvi for the tuxes, he'll have a discount to apply...and if not, I just had some free entertainment!

Next up is wedding dress shopping--my parents will be in town this weekend to help me get started!
