Because we have quite a few out of town guests that plan to stay until Sunday, we wanted to have the chance to spend a bit more time together.  We won’t be leaving for our honeymoon for a couple weeks and thought it would be nice to hang out with everyone. 

We plan to go the The Wynkoop Brewery in downtown Denver Saturday night (11/5) around 6pm.  It’s a big space upstairs with pool tables, shuffleboard, etc.  We thought it could be fun to kind of take over a portion of the restaurant upstairs and play games, eat, and have some drinks.  It is a local brewery and has good food.  We don’t have anything planned, so you can come and go as you like.  We plan to hang out for a couple hours.  Just another chance to catch up with all our distant family and friends. 

Wynkoop is located on 18th & Wynkoop.  You can walk if it’s nice, take a really inexpensive cab ride, or even better…Walk one block to 16th Street and jump on the Free 16th Street Shuttle.  Ride it all the way to Wynkoop, hop off and walk up to 18th.

Greetings everyone!

Well, many of you know that next weekend, Saturday, August 27th is our wedding shower.

Susan and I really don’t know what the plan is other then we are hosting a Mexican Fiesta theme.

Invitations went out a few weeks ago, and many people have already RSVP’d or will shortly.

Susan’s Maid of Honor is Melissa and she’s organizing the event, along with her friends — Jessi, Janice, Monica & Kenni.  If I left someone out, please don’t blame the Husband-T0-Be, as he’s just trying to send an update while Susan sleeps.

We are expecting about 35 to 40 people in attendance.

All of the girls will be inside playing games and doing girl stuff… which I have no clue what that involves…  While the boys will be outside playing Washers, Horse Balls (Ladder Ball), Corn Hole, and whatever else we can imagine.  We’ll also be grilling burgers and bratwursts, drinking a few cold one’s and just hanging.

If you are planning on attending the Wedding Shower, please contact Melissa ASAP, so she can give us a headcount on who is attending.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our home!

Javier & Susan

Well, it’s been awhile since we’ve last posted on our website.  It’s mainly because we’ve been working our tail off in planning this wedding.

So, with that said, here’s the latest updates!

Wedding Hotels

We’ve decided to go with two different hotels.

Magnolia Hotel Denver

They are offering the following discounted rates when you mention the Lozano/Schaiberger wedding

Single King Bed – $129/night
Two Queen Beds – $139/night
Standard Suites (floors 1-3) – $139/night
Signature Suites (floors 4-7) – $149/night
Fireplace Suites (floors 8-12) – $159/night

Denver Marriott City Center

All rooms will be $129/night

If you plan on attending the wedding, please reserve your room as soon as possible, so you can guarantee a room during our wedding night.

Reception Food

Though we don’t want to ruin what we will be served during our wedding, we did two tastings with a couple of catering companies.

We plan on making a final decision in the next few days, and then moving forward from there.

Can’t wait to grub on the food though!

Wedding Invations

The wedding invitations have been ordered and came in a few weeks ago.  Susan and I were very impressed on the design and how they came out, and we can’t wait to mail them.  We just need to get the rest of our friends and families mailing addresses before we send out the invitations.

Keep an eye out for our invitations around July/August 2011.

Save The Dates

Our Save The Dates will be going out via email, instead of mail.  So, if you feel like someone has been stalking you via FaceBook, it was Susan…

Center Pieces

Last weekend, we went to Wal-Mart to shop for a few things… during our journey through Wally World, we decided to go through fake flowers and vases section.

To our amazement, we actually found some really nice vases to use as center pieces.  I won’t go into details on the design, but it should look really fun and different.

Anyways, over the next few weeks, we will be in the garage working on various looks and designs for the center pieces.  It should be fun!

Well, since our wedding date has been moved forward to Friday, November 4th, 2011 — we decided to quickly throw up a website so our friends and family can know more about our big day, and they can start planning ahead of time.

If you are a blogger, or want more updates on how the wedding planning is going, please feel free to subscribe to our blog, through the Entries RSS feed.

Or, just visit this site frequently!

So what have we done so far?

Well, we’ve got a location, the Grant-Humphreys Mansion, and we are working on a Hotel — preferably the Burnsley Hotel, which is just minutes from the wedding sight.

We have a few catering companies that offer a great variety of food for the wedding.  Once we’ve gotten it down to 3 catering venders, we will do some taste testing and decide from there.

Save-The-Dates will be coming out shortly, but we will be emailing them instead.  Please keep an eye out for them.  Wedding Invitations will follow shortly.  So, once you’ve received the wedding invitations, please mail in the RSVP and go to our RSVP Page to reserve your spot there.  This will help us get everything organized correctly.

Anyways, that’s all from me.  I’m sure Susan will be posting things on here frequently.
