We keep giggling thinking what our guests will think when they get the invitation. "Courthouse wedding in Santa Barbara..."
Then when they arrive, oh they will be surprised!

How nice!!! Wonderful room!!!!love your idea! How many guests are you having?

 

[mom2dolls]

I am not sure. Between 50-70 I think. My FH has a large family. He is the oldest son, and has never been married. We are putting a list together this weekend.

We wont be having a traditional reception. We will have a dinner, hopefully at our favorite Mexican restaurant up there.
We have a very strict budget we are trying to stay within.

Edited to add: Our planner has a tradition of the couple sharing there first dance shortly after the wedding at the same location. Very sweet!

We drove up to Santa Barbara this weekend to meet with our wedding planner.
We were able to tour the Santa Barbara Courthouse, see the Mural Room and discuss all of the details.
She is checking with the courthouse to make sure our date is available and then we are set.
