Let’s Dance

So Natasha had a bit of a time finding a reception venue in her budget. She was needing two days of renting the venue (Friday and Saturday) as her decorator is only available Friday and the wedding is on Saturday. On top of that, the venue had to fit 220 people and be under $2500. Her husband’s employer ended up pulling some strings (yay for Nashville Blues Society!) and they ended up getting the Hotel Preston, but here are some other venues I ran across that fit the bill for at least one of her requirements. I myself struggled to find a place that met all of the requirements. Here’s my (Nashville only) picks for….
Best for big groups
Clockwise from top left; Country Music Hall of Fame Curb Conservatory- fits 400 for a seated dinner; Houston Station- fits 300!; Hermitage Hotel Grand Ballroom- fits 350; Ambrose House- fits 250

Best on the budget, but also holds more than 100 people
Belmont Mansion- Wedding AND Reception for up to 150 people for $2100!  (too small for Natasha, seriously, such a great deal). I wish I would’ve found this when Josh and I were looking around.

Under $2500 AND fits 220 people
Frist Learning Center ($2500-$3900) and Massey Display Hall ($1400 for daytime rentals; rents up to $4000)- both at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens (see pictures here)

The Cannery Ballroom comes close! $3000 and fits 250  (may be cheaper overall dependent upon time and day of your wedding/reception).

I think she seriously lucked out with her reception choice, but maybe my finds can help someone else find their perfect reception match.

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it.                     Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain:   29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks.         Trick or Treat Turnovers                                                       Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on                   Scarecrow Crunch For dessert       Candy Corn Rice Krispies                        Monster Mash Pudding                  Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
