Any 2012 Chicago Brides Out There?

Congratulations! We are getting married April 28, 2012 at the Cancun Palace. I have been addicted to this site from the very beginning, it
 is so much fun.

I'm a April 2012 Chicago bride too! Sort of... I'm actually in the western suburbs - Downers Grove. We're getting married April 3 in St. Thomas.

 

Are any of you guys planning an AHR yet? We're on the hunt for a venue. Brookfield Zoo ended up being out of our price range, but I'm meeting with the manager of events at Cantigny (in Wheaton) on Wednesday to discuss a Friday night event a few weeks after we get back. I'm calling it an anniversary party to control costs. It's amazing how prices double when you drop the W-word.

Congratulations! We have not even begun to discuss AHR. A Friday night event sounds nice, hopefully the weather will have broken by then. If we decide to do an AHR, it will only be for my FI family because all of my family lives in Texas and my friends are all across the country. Good luck and happy planning! Keep us up to date as your plans progress.

Thanks! Yup, that's why we're looking for an indoor venue!! LOL Chicago in April - who knows how it will be! the room has a terrace included that we can use if it's nice out. I figure an evening in April will probably be too cool, but the smokers can go out there if they need :-)

 

I really want to include the AHR info on our invites, that's why we're planning so early. Plus if we want an indoor venue, we need to book sooner rather than later. I still am on the hunt for a funky restaurant that will let us rent a room for appetizers and dessert, but no luck so far.
