I am not quite sure where all of the MN brides are located...but, would anyone be interested in meeting up and sharing ideas and what not? This is just a shot in the dark...and I am not sure how many people would be okay with this. Feedback would be great!
I'd be interested in meeting. I'm in the Twin Cities. There's a lovely, locally owned coffee shop I frequent in St. Louis Park (somewhat centrally located in the cities) that has a largish table that can be reserved.
The only day that regularly does not work for me is Saturdays.. obviously we all have a lot of wedding planning and meetings going on so hopefully there's a time where many of us could meet! :)
Tryg's -- I've not been there but I'm browsing their menu and sadly, it's not very vegetarian friendly. :( There is a veggie burger and salads but at most restaurants there are many more options.
If not everyone likes this option, that's totally cool -- I'd just really prefer someplace that had more options for me. There's also Thahn Do--a really great Thai/Asian place where most things can be ordered vegetarian or with choice of meat. It's super yummy.
I'm in. I'm in Minneapolis -- and I have TONS of resources (I'm a big researcher and wanted to give a more full picture when describing stuff when I blog (www.engageology.wordpress.com & on MN Bride).
I've never been to that coffee shop, but if that doesn't work for people, there's always McCoy's, Yum!, Laredos or View.
I'd be in - if it's not this month (11 days til the wedding followed by a honeymoon!!!!) SLP and surrounding areas work fine for me or we could go to Grand Ave. in St. Paul - tons of choices there. Cafe Latte, Bread & Chocolate just to name a couple and there's shopping in the area too, if we decided/
I'm getting married the 2ndish week of Sept! ;) Soo... obviously there is always going to be a time that doesn't work for everyone. We can try multiple meetups too.
Just im me and let me know, I am not on as much as I used to be since the wedding is over. I do have pro pics from my wedding now so I can share those and would love to see others pics, thoughts and ideas!!
I live in St. Louis Park and work in St. Paul so any of those options work for me.

I'm open to other locations as well of course!
posted by yiska 123 posts 4 months agoI'd be interested in a possible meet up. Keep me in the loop!
posted by HappiestOne 97 posts 4 months agoI would be interested, but I won't be back in MN until Christmas time!
posted by hbowar 129 posts 4 months agoSo, it looks like the Twin Cities would probably be the best location for everyone?
I am currently in northern MN and then moving to southern MN in a few weeks here -- but, I think the cities would work for me...
So, Twin Cities gals...you know locations better than me! *hint, hint*
And obviously we will have to plan this farther out, correct? :)
posted by happymnbride 16 posts 4 months agoI'm cool with St. Louis park or anyplace in the realm of the cities.
We could even just meet for dinner someplace, let's keep it easy!
posted by HappiestOne 97 posts 4 months agoHmmm...St. Louis Park? May I suggest Tryg's?

The coffee shop I suggested has food -- I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner there: http://www.harvestmooncoffee.net/

posted by yiska 123 posts 4 months agoI love Thai! - The coffee place sounds great too.

posted by yiska 123 posts 3 months agoLet's pick a few days (weekends and weeknights) and times and see what the attendance potential is and go with the one that seems the most likely.

posted by kenziegirl 59 posts 3 months agoI'd love to meet at Caffe Latte - but any of them would work for me.
